MINI Malaysia has launched the facelifted MINI in two body styles i.e. MINI Cooper S 3 Door, Cooper S 5 Door. The more powerful John Cooper Works (JCW) version is available as a 3 Door.

The MINI Cooper S 3 Door is priced at RM226,888, 5 Door at RM236,888, and the JCW 3 Door at RM283,888. These are on-the-road prices, excluding tax and insurance, but includes a four-year unlimited mileage warranty and four-year (or 60,000 km) free service package.

MINI 3 Door Rear, Malaysia Launch 2018The MINI comes with new bi-LED headlights, LED daytime running lights / turn indicators, and Union-Jack themed LED tail lights. It also utilises Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) engine cover to shave about 13% of its weight. MINI engines are now up to 8 kg lighter to give better fuel efficiency, and comply to Euro 6c standards.

The 2.0L turbocharged engine is shared from the BMW Group and still produces 192 hp and 280 Nm, but as it has received numerous updates and improvements, including weight savings, it is now more efficient. The Cooper S 3 Door has an official average fuel consumption of 5.5 litres per 100 km, while the 5 Door, 5.6 litres per 100 km.

For the JCW version, it’s 6.1 seconds and 246 km/h. Power is carried to the wheels via a new 7-speed dual clutch (wet) Steptronic sports transmission with torque converter and an electronic gear shifter. However, the JCW uses an 8-speed automatic. The trasmissions now allow Coasting in the MID drive mode where it was previously available only in GREEN mode. This feature intuitively shifts the engine to idle when the foot is off the accelerator pedal when cruising.

The MINI 3 Door.

MINI Cooper S 3 Door 17-inch alloy wheel, MalaysiaThe new MINI 3 Door comes with 17” Cosmos Spoke in Black, where a coat of special black paint provides a more dynamic look that gives the rims a high-gloss finish and deep black paint effect.
