Two limited editions of MINI Cooper S Countryman Sports added to range

Since being introduced in Malaysia in 2018, the MINI Cooper S Countryman Sports has been among the more popular variants in the MINI range sold locally. In fact, it accounted for 75% of total MINI deliveries in 2019.

For buyers who want something extra and different with their Countryman Sports and for these customers, MINI Malaysia now offered two limited-edition models. These are the Countryman Sports with Blackline Package and the Countryman Sports with Panoramic Sunroof.

The Countryman Sports with Blackline Package has a sportier and more stylistic appearance, featuring previously chromed elements such as the front grille and MINI emblems now in the elegant Piano Black offering.

Available in British Racing Green or Light White, both of which come with Black roofs, only 38 units will be available for the whole of Malaysia.

*The Countryman Sports with Panoramic Sunroof lets the sky in during motoring, enhancing the sense of freedom.*

MINI TwinPower Turbo
Both cars are powered by the same 2-litre MINI TwinPower Turbo engine which generates 192 ps/280Nm. This output reaches the front wheels through a 7-speed Dual Clutch Sports automatic transmission. Pedal to the floor, the 0 to 100 km/h time can be done in a claimed 7.5 seconds, with a maximum speed of 225 km/h.

To improve fuel economy, there’s an engine start/stop function which activates when the car is going to idle for a while. It can automatically restart when it’s time to move off. Additionally, the coasting function in both the MID and GREEN driving modes also helps reduce fuel consumption as the drivetrain is decoupled upon deceleration.

Interior design language
The interior design language employs black as the dominant theme. Besides the Anthracite headliner, there are the Sport Seats upholstered in Cross Punch leather in Carbon Black. A touch of sophistication is offered via the new John Cooper Works Interior Surface in Piano Black.

For those who want high-quality music reproduction, the Countryman Sports comes with a Speaker Harman Kardon Sound System that has no less than 12 high-performance speakers. Enhancement comes from the 360W DSP Amplifier and Class-D technology.

The car also has a built-in 4G SIM card and owners can also connect their iPhone wirelessly and use the MINI Visual Boost to access numerous features on the phone with Apple CarPlay. Wireless Charging is also available for compatible smartphones.

The Countryman is the biggest MINI ever offered which mean it has more space within. The volume of cargo space is generous and with folding rear seats, it can be expanded as needed.

An 8.8-inch MINI Navigation System comes standard to provide route guidance. And with the latest MINI Connected, there is access to a wide range of digital services such as the Intelligent Emergency Call, MINI TeleServices and Remote Services.

What else an owner gets
As with other MINIs sold in Malaysia, there’s a 5-year Roadside Assistance programme with a comprehensive list of services. These include a 24-Hour, 365-days-a-year Accident and Help on the Phone and On the Spot Hotline, Free Towing Services and when needed (over 200 kms from residential home), Replacement Vehicle, Seamless Mobility, Accommodation, Mobility Services Solutions as well as Repatriation services.

The Countryman Sports with Blackline Package is priced at RM243.280.38 while the Countryman Sports with Panoramic Sunroof is RM247,280.38 (both prices with Sales Tax exemption till the end of 2020 but without insurance).

For those who requiring financing for their purchase, BMW Group Financial Services Malaysia offers schemes starting from RM2,778.00 per month, based on estimates of 80% loan on a 5-year tenure (terms and conditions apply).

Only 15 units of MINI Electric First Edition available for Malaysian market

Following the launch of the MINI Electric last month, MINI Malaysia now offers the First Edition and only 15 people in Malaysia will be able to own one. First Edition models are usually produced in limited runs and come with exclusive or unique features.

In the case of the MINI Electric First Edition, priced from RM238,380.78, there are bespoke side scuttles and door sills which identify each unit as ‘ONE OF FIFTEEN’. An all-new exterior colour, Yours Enigmatic Black, almost makes it debut with this special edition. 17-inch Power Spoke two-tone wheels come with run flat tyres.

MINI Yours appointments
The interior has MINI Yours Walknappa Leather Lounge Upholstery and Walknappa Leather-wrapped steering wheel. At night, the MINI Yours Illuminated Interior Surface lights up from a choice of 12 ambient light colours. Additionally, the Panorama Glass Roof enhances the sense of openness day or night.

ELECTRIC-specific features
The Electric version has its own specific features such as the Electric Cockpit Fascia, Electric Start/Stop button in Yellow, Electric velour floor mats, an electronic selector lever with Electric design, as well as the brake energy recuperation toggle. The driver can refer to the Head-Up Display or the Digital Instrument Cluster which displays key information like speed, range, state of charge of the battery.

The body colour features its front blade and aero-optimised mirror caps in Energetic Yellow. Alternatively, the First Edition is also available in the popular White Silver with Energetic Yellow accents. The roof for both exterior body colours will be available in black. It is equipped with the Lights Package which includes the Matrix LED headlights and LED rear lights featuring the iconic Union Jack design to remind of its British heritage.

In place of an internal combustion engine is a synchronous electric motor developed by the BMW Group. The front-axle electric motor generates 135 kw/184 hp, drawing energy from a 12-module T-shaped battery pack with a net capacity of 28.9 kWh. Peak torque is 270 Nm which is available from the moment the car moves off, providing zippy performance with a claimed 0 to 100 km/h time of 7.3 seconds.

Up to 270 kms of range
With a single-speed transmission and integrated differential, the MINI Electric First Edition can reach a claimed maximum speed of 150 km/h and depending on driving conditions and style, travel for up to 270 kms on a fully-charged battery pack.

Recharging a fully empty battery pack requires approximately 36 minutes to reach 80% capacity when recharging at a DC charging station. Similarly, the MINI Wallbox Plus provides an 80% charge in just two and half hours. At home, recharging can be done in 12 hours using a household power supply. Of course, most owners would not run the battery till it’s completely empty so the actual time required may not be as long.
