The
new MINI family lives a highly connected life for an immersive experience.
Modern, digital and
unmistakable, the new MINI family takes driving fun, user experience, and
responsible attitude of the brand into a new era, a comprehensive
transformation that is reflected in the new design language ‘Charismatic
Simplicity’. This combines the traditional MINI values with progressive
innovations in a particularly authentic way, reducing the vehicle design to the
essentials. The new MINI family shares a purist design that takes equal account
of the urban character and the innovative spirit of the MINI community.
Short overhangs,
short bonnet, long wheelbase, and big wheels – the proportions of the new model
generation are typical MINI. The visual three-part division into the vehicle
body, surrounding window area and contrasting roof ensure the new MINI models
are instantly recognizable. The surfaces look particularly exciting thanks to
an integrative treatment of details. Absence of side scuttles and flush door
handles in the MINI Countryman, underline the clear and modern overall impression.
A clearly defined shoulder area gives the new MINI models a decidedly athletic
body. A wider stance on the rear, characteristic charisma and
a modern minimalist design with clearly designed surfaces, MINI now has a
significantly enhanced presence.
The striking
appearance of the car is further enhanced by three selectable Signatures
Modes (Classic, Favoured and John Cooper Works) for the Daytime
Running Lights (DRLs) of the LED headlights and the redesigned matrix
rear lights. All three modes begin and end with a specially orchestrated
welcome and goodbye animation.
Minimalist design, digital innovations and an
immersive user experience are the hallmarks of the interior. The MINI
Interaction Unit takes a quantum leap into the digital age with the hi-resolution
240mm Circular OLED touchscreen display. It is the defining
feature of the interior with a completely new feel and versatile functions. It
has moved closer to the driver and can be operated similar to a smartphone. The
new MINI Operating System 9 is optimized for touchscreen and
voice control and provides advanced connectivity for maximum ease of use. The
new MINI Intelligent Personal Assistant (IPA) can be activated
by saying “Hey MINI” to control a wide range of functions such as navigation, telephony,
entertainment and others. The innovative MINI Digital Key Plus turns
the smartphone into a car key via the MINI App and can be
transferred to different users, along with their personal vehicle
settings. Head-up Display projects all relevant information
directly in the driver’s line of sight. A Fisheye Camera can
capture selfies, fun moments and videos with sound, inside the cabin and is
capable of transfers via a QR code. Harman Kardon Surround
Sound System is an aural treat. Other features include Navigation, Remote
Services, Remote Software Upgrades, Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, Teleservices,
In-Car Weather and Intelligent Emergency Call.
The new interior experience
is mainly created by the textile surfaces. A specially developed knitting process
is used to create the easy-care, versatile structure of the two-tone textile.
The dashboard and door panels are completely chrome-free and leather-free, using
recycled 2D knitted fabric lining. The textile surface is made
luminescent by ambient lighting and projections from the MINI Interaction Unit
that make even rush hour relaxing. The new multifunction steering wheel adds to
hallmark MINI go-kart feeling.
With the MINI
Experience Modes, one can choose from several immersive driving
experiences, from the race-inspired ‘Go-Kart Mode’ to the energy-saving ‘Green
Mode’ or the lively ‘Vivid Mode’ and more. MINI Experience Modes extend the
indoor experience by tuning the light, sound and graphics settings.
A distinctive Toggle
Bar Island gives access to the important driving functions including
start/stop, gear selector, parking brake, experience modes and volume control.
General storage area below the toggle bar provides space for a smartphone to be
wirelessly charged.
Sports
Seats are covered in Vescin - a high-quality,
perforated, artificial leather-free upholstery made from recycled materials The
panoramic glass roof adds to the bright and spacious atmosphere. Electric seat
adjustment with Active Seat for the driver is optionally
available.
The classic round
headlights, striking octagonal grille and compact silhouette are the dominant
features of the new MINI COOPER S, making the model the
characteristic face of MINI. The new MINI Cooper S offers the innovative and
efficient petrol engine powered by the latest MINI TwinPower Turbo technology.
It mobilises a peak output of 150 kW/204 hp at 5,000 – 6,500 rpm and produces a
maximum torque of 300 Nm at 1450-4500 rpm. The car sprints from 0 – 100
km/hr in 6.6 seconds and the top speed is 242 km/h. The 7-Speed Double
Clutch Steptronic Transmission offers efficient, comfortable and sporty
driving due to a broader gear spread and smaller engine speed steps.
The new all-electric
MINI COUNTRYMAN is the vehicle for the whole family. In its latest
generation, it has not only grown in height (+6 cm), length (+13 cm) and
interior — it has also noticeably improved in character, appearance, and
experience. It is now even more present, more spacious and more stable. The
versatile and powerful electric drive make it a perfect companion for unbridled
driving fun even off the beaten track. With 150 kW/204 hp and a maximum torque
