A MINI Boombox

A new boombox designed by iUi Design is mini in more ways than one.

The boombox is mini in size, weighing in at just over 12 ounces.

MINI in character, the boombox takes on the form of a MINI side mirror.

This portable audio speaker was on display at the 2013 International CES hosted by the Consumer Electronics Association.

Adhering to the not-normal “standards” of MINI, the small boombox is available in an assortment of radiant colors and quirky designs.

Located on the backside of the boombox is a USB port for recharging its internal battery.

With a Near Field Communication (NFC) sensor, the boombox can blast your favorite jams for up to ten hours.

The front of the boombox is half speaker grille and half mirror, which also serves as a touch screen.

The boombox also features voice-command capabilities.

The MINI boombox is priced at $149.00, with pre-orders underway and availability in late January.

Local Pennsylvania dealership, MINI of Pittsburgh is excited to test drive these MINI accessories.

MINI: Most Eco-Friendly Convertible

ÖKOTREND Institute for Environmental Research categorically ranks the most environmentally-friendly vehicles on the German market annually.

ÖKOTREND is a German word that literally translates to the English equivalent of “ECO-TREND.”

And, quite frankly, the MINI Convertible is a little bit of both, eco and trendy.

According to the latest environmental rankings of ÖKOTREND, the MINI Convertible is the most eco-friendly convertible on the German market this year.

With its 112-horsepower four-cylinder diesel engine, the four-seater landed the top spot primarily based upon its low emissions and epic fuel efficiency in addition to its eco features such as Auto Start-Stop and Brake Energy Regeneration.

Aside from mere features, ÖKOTREND also evaluates vehicles upon sourcing of material, production process, and recyclability.

All MINI production processes utilize a systematic use of sustainability.

Lastly, the vehicles are assessed on the perceived environmental and social responsibility of their company.

For the past eight years in a row, Dow Jones Sustainability Index has named The BMW Group as the most sustainable automotive manufacturer in the world.

Seems like eco is trendy, after all.

Find the eco-friendly MINI Convertible at your local Pittsburgh Pennsylvania dealership, MINI of Pittsburgh.
