Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 11 July 2024:
Abu Dhabi Motors, the official importer of BMW Group vehicles in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, has launched the all-new MINI Cooper 3-Door and the revolutionary all-electric MINI Countryman SE ALL4 John Cooper Works Trim. The latest additions to the next generation of the MINI family celebrate the innovation and dynamic spirit that defines the MINI brand.
The new iteration of the beloved MINI Cooper 3-Door, launched in two variations by Abu Dhabi Motors – MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper S John Cooper Works Trim – set a new benchmark in the compact car segment. This model marries the brand’s iconic design language with cutting-edge technology and connectivity to deliver an unmatched driving experience.
A refreshed aesthetic characterises the new MINI Cooper 3-Door, paying homage to its storied heritage while also embracing a futuristic design. The standout new front grille, modernised lights, and sleek OLED screen are just the beginning. Inside, the cockpit dazzles with high-quality equipment details, black-blue surfaces made of two-tone knitted material, and Vescin seats adorned with a perforated houndstooth pattern, blue accent stitching, and patterned fabric inserts.
Under the hood, the MINI Cooper S John Cooper Works Trim features a performance-enhanced 2-litre TwinPower turbo four-cylinder engine that delivers 204 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. This powerhouse of an engine is paired with a finely tuned suspension and damping system designed for nimble handling, propelling the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds.
The MINI Cooper is powered by a 156 hp TwinPower turbo three-cylinder engine, delivering a maximum torque of 230 Nm and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds.
With four trim levels — Essential, Classic, Favoured, and JCW — the new MINI Cooper 3-Door offers an extensive range of customisation options. Depending on the trim, the new MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper S are available with different body paint finishes and interior trims. New, aerodynamically optimised designs are available for the rims ranging from 16 to 17 inches, with every detail tailored to suit individual preferences.
Safety and comfort are further enhanced by advanced driver assistance systems such as the Safe Exit function, Active Cruise Control, and the standard Parking Assistant. Additionally, the brand’s first full-fledged voice assistant simplifies the operation of the MINI Interaction Unit, which features the first round OLED display in the automotive industry with a refreshing user interface design.
The all-electric MINI Countryman SE ALL4 John Cooper Works Trim
Meanwhile, the all-electric MINI Countryman SE ALL4 John Cooper Works Trim brings a bigger dose of MINI-ness with its powerful build, bold SUV design, and imposing presence. Ruggedly handsome and effortlessly stylish, this model is equally at home in the city and the great outdoors. Available in two different styles — Favoured, or JCW Trim—and with standard all-wheel drive, there is a perfect companion for every adventure.
The new MINI Countryman SE ALL4 John Cooper Works Trim comes in a bigger iteration now – at 13cm longer and 8cm taller – making it the most grown-up MINI ever, both in size and maturity. Its contrasting roof comes in several distinctive color options and is paired with a stylish C-Pillar design.
With a fully charged battery, the all-electric MINI Countryman SE ALL4 John Cooper Works Trim can reach a range of up to 433km, making it perfect for both city commutes and long getaways outside your emirate. Whether you prefer to charge at home or on the go, it comes with the right cables and adaptors as both standard and optional equipment for a seamless charging experience.
Performance-wise, the MINI Countryman SE ALL4 boasts a power output of 313 hp and 494Nm, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds and reaching a limited top speed of 180km/h.
The all-electric MINI Countryman also includes standard equipment with eight MINI Modes, accessible via the OLED display or a simple toggle bar, to choose from: Core Mode, Green Mode, Go-kart Mode, Vivid Mode, Timeless Mode, Balance Mode, Personal Mode and Trail Mode.
Each mode offers its own signature lighting, soundscape and design to enhance your driving experience, bringing a fun-to-drive ethos and ensuring that every journey is unique and immersive. Core Mode provides a calm and neutral environment, while Go-Kart Mode enhances the sporty, agile feel with a stiffer steering response and sportier sounds. Green Mode focuses on efficiency with live visual feedback and soothing green lighting, and Vivid Mode transforms the cabin lighting to match your music’s artwork. Timeless Mode reimagines the essence of the original Mini with classic-inspired graphics and soundscapes, while Balance Mode promotes relaxation with softer lighting and optional massage seats.
Personal Mode allows complete customisation by uploading personal images as the OLED display background, reflecting the colour of your chosen image in the cabin lighting. Exclusive to the MINI Countryman, Trail Mode encourages exploration with naturally inspired lighting, an on-screen compass, and vehicle inclination data.
Additionally, the 5-seater vehicle offers 460 litres of cargo space, which can be expanded to 1,450 litres by dropping the 40/20/40 split rear seats, providing ample room for all your plans.
