Wazzup Pilipinas!?
MINI Philippines has officially unveiled the all-new MINI Cooper 5-Door, blending the brand's signature driving excitement with enhanced space and functionality. This latest model caters to urban drivers seeking both style and practicality.
Exterior Design
The all-new MINI Cooper 5-Door maintains its iconic design with short overhangs, a compact bonnet, and a long wheelbase. Measuring 4,036 mm in length, 1,744 mm in width, and 1,464 mm in height, it offers a spacious interior without compromising its compact footprint. The vehicle comfortably seats five passengers, with a wheelbase extended by 72 mm and an overall body length increased by 172 mm compared to the 3-Door variant, enhancing passenger comfort and cargo capacity.
The front features a minimalist design with classic round LED headlights and an octagonal front grille, creating a distinctive and modern appearance. At the rear, flush-fitting tail lights and a black handle strip with model lettering emphasize the car's broad stance.
Interior Features
Inside, the all-new MINI Cooper 5-Door offers a blend of tradition and innovation. The dashboard is adorned with high-quality, eco-friendly materials, including knitted recycled polyester surfaces that extend into the door panels. A standout feature is the central OLED display, measuring 240 mm in diameter, which serves as the hub for vehicle functions, controlled via touch or voice commands through the new MINI Operating System 9.
The vehicle introduces seven MINI Experience Modes, allowing drivers to customize the interior ambiance with coordinated projections, ambient lighting, and display designs. The redesigned toggle switch strip includes controls for the parking brake, gear selector, start/stop function, Experience Modes, and volume, enhancing user convenience.
Performance and Handling
The all-new MINI Cooper 5-Door is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The base Cooper variant delivers 161 horsepower, while the Cooper S trim offers an increased output of 201 horsepower. Both models feature a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, providing a dynamic and responsive driving experience.
The suspension and damping systems are tuned for spirited handling, ensuring a balance between comfort and the precise steering feel characteristic of MINI vehicles. Larger 18-inch wheels with a tire width of 215 mm contribute to improved driving dynamics and a more commanding road presence.
Advanced Technology
The MINI Intelligent Personal Assistant debuts in this model, enabling voice-controlled interaction for navigation, entertainment, and various vehicle functions. Activated by saying "Hey MINI" or pressing the push-to-talk button on the steering wheel, this feature enhances driving convenience and safety.
