What are the MINI Cooper variants available for the Singapore market?

There’s a 198hp MINI Cooper S (S$244,888) powered by a 2.0-litre turbo (0-100km/h in 6.6 seconds), an electrified 146hp MINI Cooper E (S$195,888) with a battery capacity of 40.7kWh (0-100km/h in 8.4 seconds, range of up to 305km), and a spicier electrified 212hp MINI Cooper SE (S$217,888) lugging a larger 54.2kWh battery (0-100km/h in 6.7 seconds, range of up to 402km).

What are the MINI Countryman variants available for the Singapore market?

There are also 3 versions for the local market. First up, the 292hp MINI John Cooper Works (JCW) Countryman ALL4 (S$292,888), propelled by a 2.0-litre turbo (0-100km/h in 5.4 seconds), followed by the 198hp MINI Countryman E ALL4 (S$229,888) with a 66.5kWh battery (0-100km/h in 8.6 seconds, range of up to 462km) and a punchier 304hp MINI Countryman SE ALL4 (S$243,888) with the same battery capacity as the “E”. 0-100km/h arrives in 5.6 seconds with range calculated at up to 433km.

Do you think they look drastically different from previous MINIs?

The new models have typical “MINI” proportions with short overhangs, a short bonnet and a long wheelbase. The all-electric MINI Cooper and MINI Countryman have sleek surfaces, flushed door handles and no fender flares or side scuttles. The front end is highlighted by a new octagonal front grille.

How does the new MINI’s dashboard look?

The interior design of the new MINI models draws inspiration from the classic Mini's minimalist style. There’s a central round instrument cluster and a toggle bar. The new toggle bar has five switches for functions (parking brake, gear selector, start/stop key, experience mode toggle, volume control). The absence of the gear selector in the centre console creates more storage space. Smartphones can be wirelessly charged in the central storage area.

Are these new MINIs equipped with BMW Group’s most advanced operating system?

The new "Charismatic Simplicity" design language of MINI is evident in the user interface, combining functional and emotional elements with a modern look using new graphics. Static and dynamic elements integrate into the circular OLED display, featuring micro-animations that enhance interactions. The MINI Operating System 9, developed by BMW Group and based on an Android Open Source Project (AOSP) software stack, offers intuitive operation similar to consumer electronics.

What are MINI Experience Modes?

The new MINI Experience Modes enhance driving fun with digital and visual features. Up to seven modes activate special light projections and dynamic backgrounds across the dashboard. Each mode has backgrounds that create a high-quality, vibrant effect. Selecting a mode focuses the display on a relevant “Mode App.” For example, Go-Kart Mode emphasises MINI’s racing DNA with dynamic colours and driving displays.
