MINI Malaysia, the most sophisticated compact premium automotive brand in Malaysia introduced the New MINI Cooper S Countryman Sports – the newest MINI to be locally assembled in the country. Malaysia is also the first market in the world outside the Netherlands to locally assemble the New MINI Countryman.
The New MINI Cooper S Countryman Sports: Built for the Adventurer
The New MINI Cooper S Countryman Sports will now be equipped with the exclusive John Cooper Works Package. Built to thrill even before one steps inside, the exterior features an all new design.
Fitted with the MINI John Cooper Works Aerodynamic Kit, the vehicle’s bold, racing-inspired appearance is emphasised by typical MINI bonnet stripes and its hexagonal grille. The Aerodynamic Kit consists of a front apron with built-in air ducts for cooling the brakes and a rear bumper with a diffuser design. The kit also includes MINI John Cooper Works door sill finishers.
The New MINI Cooper S Countryman Sports also features sports suspension, finely tuned to make driving the MINI Countryman more dynamic. With tougher suspension springs and stiffer pneumatic shock absorbers, the car maintains optimum ground contact, no matter how sporty the driver’s style. The unrivalled agility to the hallmark MINI handling is further supported by the 19” MINI John Cooper Works Course Spoke with Run Flat Tyres.
Additional new highlights to the New MINI Countryman include Park Distance Control (PDC) in the front and rear – making parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces easier, as well as Park Assist which helps the driver during parallel manoeuvres. With Park Assist, the Control Display will show the status when sizing up parking spaces. Once a space has been found, it is measured by ultrasound sensors and the Park Assistant then works out the best way to approach the space and takes control of the steering. All the driver has to do is operate the accelerator and brake pedals.
The New MINI Cooper S Countryman Sports offers for the first-time ever, an 8.8” Touch Screen Display with Navigation. It features a split screen function allowing two map views to be displayed at the same time. This can be operated via the Touchscreen technology or alternatively via the MINI Touch Controller on the centre console. Meanwhile, the MINI Head-Up Display keeps the driver fully in the picture, ensuring that not just the road ahead but all key vehicle information remains visible at all times.
Entertainment is now further enhanced with the Harman Kardon hi-fi loudspeaker system. With a generous 360-watt output, the 12-speaker sound system has been fine tuned precisely to suit the vehicle’s interior. Thanks to the perfectly positioned high-performance speakers, music of all genres can be enjoyed to the fullest from every seat, in front or in the back.
Powering the MINI Cooper S Countryman Sports is a 2-litre 4-cylinder MINI TwinPower Turbo Engine. Coupled with an 8-Speed Sports Automatic Transmission with Paddle Shifters, the car is capable of delivering 192hp and 280Nm of torque. Acceleration from 0 to 100km/h is achieved in just 7.4 seconds at a top speed of 224km/h. All of these are achievable while only consuming an average of 6.5 litres per 100km of fuel.
The New MINI Cooper S Countryman Sports comes in the colours of British Racing Green, Thunder Grey, Light White and Chili Red. The Black Roof is available for Chilli Red, British Racing Green, Thunder Grey, Light White; while the White Roof is available for Chilli Red and British Racing Green.
Euro NCAP 5-Star Rating
The New MINI Countryman has achieved top 5-star rating in the Euro NCAP crash test, whereby testers analyse the car’s crash behaviour in different impact scenarios to assess how stable the passenger cell is, how effective the restraint systems are and what forces are exerted on the occupants. The exemplary crash behaviour of the new MINI Countryman is a result of the integrated safety concept which is built into every model of the most sophisticated compact premium automotive brand.
The New MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrid: Agile, Versatile, Electrifying
Discreet but equally unmistakable indications of the pioneering character of the car’s drive form is noticeable with the distinct model-specific “e” badge on the side scuttles and yellow “S” in the model inscription on the rear as well as on the radiator grille and door sill finishers. In addition to this, the New MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrid’s all-new electrifying experience is equipped with ALL4 exterior body kit, 19” MINI Yours Masterpiece, as well as a charging port under a flap in the area of the left-hand side scuttle.
On the inside, the New MINI Countryman features MINI Yours Walknappa Leather Steering Wheel. Rich details complete the artisan feel with hand-finished aluminium-coloured contrast stitching. A high resolution 6.5” Touch Screen Display in the MINI Centre Instrument houses state-of-the-art technology and puts a wealth of navigation information at the driver’s fingertips. The touch screen technology supports multi-touch with pinch to zoom-in functionality for maps and typing.
The New MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrid also features an eDrive button which allows the driver to choose between different electric drive modes: the standard AUTO eDrive mode, the purely electric MAX eDrive mode, and the SAVE BATTERY mode, in which charging status of the high-voltage battery is maintained at a constant level.
In the AUTO eDrive mode, the intelligent energy management system coordinates the interaction of all drive components with the electric motor to combine the best possible efficiency with great driving excitement, while increasing the electric range. For example, if the battery charging status is between 100% and 7%, drivers can drive up to 80km/h – free of local emissions without using any fuel. At higher speeds, the petrol engine comes on automatically. For maximum drive output, the electric motor supports the petrol engine as eBoost.
In the MAX eDRIVE mode, drivers can enjoy purely electric driving up to speeds of 120km/h. Short distances can be covered on purely electric power with a range of 40km. The SAVE BATTERY mode meanwhile comes into play when the battery charging status is low. This mode enables the battery to be charged by the petrol engine or allows the charging status to be maintained at 90%. In this mode, mainly the petrol engine is employed.
The MINI eALL4 System plays a role to emulate the hallmark MINI Go-Kart driving experience. The ALL4 all-wheel drive comes with Dynamic Stability Control which distributes the propulsive force of the engines to both axles. The petrol engine propels the front axle wheels while the electric motor propels the rear axle wheels. The ALL4 system helps to counteract oversteer as well as understeer and ensures an optimum propulsion. This means supreme traction on every road surface, maximum stability, and even more fun cornering. With the MINI eALL4 system, firm grip is guaranteed wherein the MAX eDrive mode activates rear wheel drive, the SAVE BATTERY mode activates front wheel drive, and the AUTO eDRIVE mode with eBoost will activate four wheel drive.
Being the first of its kind in MINI, the new MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrid effectively offers a petrol engine driving the front wheels and an electric motor powering on the rear wheels. With 6-speed automatic transmission, the new MINI is capable of producing 224hp and 385Nm of torque, thus making the model the torquiest MINI model in its range. The New MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrid accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 6.8 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of up to 198km/h while consuming only an average of 2.1 litres per 100km of fuel. It also offers an all-electric driving range of up to 42km with a maximum speed of up to 120km/h.
The New MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrid can be charged at home by connecting it to a power socket via the Home Charging Cable for approximately 5 hours (230V), depending on the voltage of the household power grid, or at one of 270 public charging facilities across Malaysia for approximately 3:15 hours (230V), depending on the voltage of the power grid of the public charging station.
To reward owners of the New MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrid, MINI Malaysia will also introduce the ChargeNow offering bundled with the MINI Public Charging Cables as well as a 1-Year free subscription of unlimited charging at all 270 ChargeEV stations.
The body and roof colour combination offered for the New MINI Countryman are Chili Red, British Racing Green, Thunder Grey, Light White, and Melting Silver with Black Roof; and in Island Blue with White Roof.
