From its iconic looks to its quality build and agile driving, there’s plenty to love about the MINI. It comes to no surprise that MINIacs in Malaysia enjoy the go-kart exhilaration that MINI has to offer, an experience the brand looks forward to raising with its recently-launched new MINI models.

The New MINI 3 Door, MINI 5 Door, and MINI Convertible represent MINI’s excellence in design and technology, as they harmonise the classic MINI go-kart thrill with contemporary needs to stay ahead of the curve. The new models cement MINI’s position as a premium provider of driving fun, expressive design and individualisation.

Designed to be the perfect driving companion, the MINI 3 Door, MINI 5 Door and MINI Convertible were some of the brand’s best-selling models in 2020 – it delivered just over 240 units of these models combined in Malaysia, despite the slowdown in the automotive industry.

The New MINI models stay faithful to their legendary roots but are now also the epitome of agile driving combined with an unmistakable look; they meet the highest standards in terms of technology and quality in their vehicle class. The New MINI 3 Door, MINI 5 Door and MINI Convertible achieve all this while setting new benchmarks once again in emotive design and clever functionality, while preserving MINI’s signature go-kart handling.

The New MINI 3 Door, MINI 5 Door and MINI Convertible arrive with a progressive look, thanks to a new front design, characteristic side scuttles, and a redesigned rear apron. The new models also set new benchmarks for signature design elements such as the light alloy wheels, new MINI colours, a redesigned steering wheel, interior surfaces, and air outlets.

The new models are also made more distinguishable by the Piano Black Exterior offering that embellishes the door handles, exhaust tailpipes, MINI logos, model badges and fuel lid in black, further complemented by the modernised side scuttle with LED indicators and model-specific inserts. Towards the rear, the widened geometry of the rear bumper emphasises the wider stance and sportiness of the new models, along with the new rear fog lamps styled in a centred LED light.

Inside, the new models are equipped with a redesigned steering wheel that features horizontal spokes with a new look for the lower spoke, and buttons which are integrated on an even surface with a Piano Black finish. The cockpit decor panel geometry is now refreshed with enlarged decor parts and the introduction of new decor designs. The inner and outer air vents have been modernised as well, and are integrated into the cockpit fascia.

The models' new generation central instrument cluster, with new Piano Black high-gloss surround, also features a larger 8.8-inch display with Navigation and Apple CarPlay, along with modern graphics that now come as standard in the New MINI models. The new Digital Instrument Cluster with 5.0-inch colour display, which also uses black panel technology, displays all relevant driving information, with configurable live widgets and two-colour schemes: Lounge and Sport. The new MINI Ambient Light with six different colours rounds off the refreshed interior atmosphere of the new models.

The new variants are powered by a 2.0-litre 4-Cylinder MINI TwinPower Turbo Engine. The engine is complemented by the 7-Speed Dual Clutch Sports Automatic Transmission to deliver up to 192HP and 280Nm of torque.

What do these translate to? The New MINI 3 Door and MINI 5 Door can go from zero to 100km/h in 6.7 and 6.8 seconds, respectively, and have a top speed of 235km/h. The New MINI Convertible goes from 0 to 100km/h in 7.1 seconds, and has a top speed of 230km/h.

How eco-friendly are they? The New MINI 3 Door and MINI 5 Door consumes 6 litres of fuel for every 100km and emits 136g of CO2 per km while the New MINI Convertible has a fuel consumption of 6.3l/100km and CO2 emission of 143g/km.

All three models arrive with the MINI Driving Assistant as standard – digital high-beam assistant, speed limit information, person warning with light city braking function, and approach control warning with light city braking function, Parking Assistant, and Lane Departure Warning. The last two features are new to the MINI family line-up and now a standard across all new MINI models. They help the driver stay safely on the chosen course at speeds between 70 and 210 km/h. To prevent unintentional lane departure, the system registers markings at the edge of the lane and alerts the driver if there’s a risk of deviation by vibrating the steering wheel.

Drivers will now also be able to have greater digital interaction with the New MINI models via the new MINI App which provides easy access to a wide range of Remote Services, on-the-go navigation, and e-Mobility features. In addition to the Digital Instrument Cluster, Teleservices, MINI Online, Intelligent Emergency Call, Remote Services, and telephony with wireless charging are also standard across all variants.

The New MINI 3 Door and New MINI 5 Door come in White Silver, Island Blue, Chili Red, British Racing Green and Rooftop Grey, complete with Jet Black Roof and Black Bonnet Stripes. The New MINI Convertible is available in the exclusive Zesty Yellow, White Silver, Island Blue, Chili Red, and British Racing Green, complete with MINI Yours Softtop.
