Munich introduces the latest iteration of a legend with the launch of the fifth generation MINI Cooper S, equipped with a vivacious four-cylinder gasoline engine. This new marvel redefines the essence of sporty performance melded with timeless design, embodying the iconic go-kart sensation synonymous with the brand. The Classic Trim, in particular, shines a spotlight on the MINI Cooper S’s agile nature, boasting clear body surfaces and compact proportions that underscore its modern aesthetics.
Under the hood, this automotive masterpiece is powered by a robust 2.0 liter TwinPower turbo engine, propelling the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 6.6 seconds, thanks to its 150 kW/204 hp and 300 Nm of torque. Efficiency doesn’t take a backseat, with the MINI Cooper S showcasing a combined fuel consumption of 6.4 — 6.1 l/100 km and CO2 emissions pegged between 144 — 138 g/km, according to WLTP standards.
The Classic Trim elevates the MINI Cooper S with its expressive details, offering a palette of body colors and contrasting roof finishes that include the elegant Ocean Wave Green. This hue, in harmony with the contrasting white roof and mirror caps, magnifies the presence of this iconic three-door model.
The interior is no less impressive, with black-blue surfaces crafted from two-tone knitted material, and high-quality Vescin seats available in grey or black. The design is further enhanced by a perforated houndstooth pattern, blue accent stitching, and patterned fabric inserts that underscore the MINI’s stylish ambiance.
Beyond aesthetics, the MINI Cooper S excels in agility, flexibility, and comfort. Its compact dimensions do not compromise on driving fun, bolstered by an increased track width that optimizes driving dynamics. Advanced driver assistance systems, including Safe Exit and Active Cruise Control, augment safety and convenience, while the innovative MINI Interaction Unit introduces the brand’s first comprehensive voice assistant.
As the new MINI Cooper S rolls onto the scene, it promises to be more than just a car; it’s a fusion of heritage and modern thrills, all packed into a vehicle that looks as good as it performs.
