New MINI Cooper S 5 Door Debuts In Malaysia

After a preview in October, MINI Malaysia has now officially confirmed the MINI Cooper S 5 Door’s price which starts at RM293,888 on-the-road and comes with a standard two-year warranty. The Extended Warranty and Service Package, which includes unlimited mileage for four years, costs RM304,288.

MINI Cooper S 5 Door

The two “all-new” petrol-powered MINI Cooper models that will be available in Malaysia are the F65 five-door and the F66 three-door. However, as their model codes suggest, the two are more of a significant facelift from the previous generation model than a completely new model, unlike the J01 fully electric MINI Cooper SE.

As a result, its powertrain is exactly the same as it was before, boasting a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four engine mated with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that generates 204 horsepower and 300 Nm and powering the front wheels. Performance metrics include a top speed of 242 km/h and a zero to 100 km/h time of 6.8 seconds.

The Cooper S 5 Door’s basic package is much the same as that of its three-door sister, including exterior features like 18-inch Slide Spoke two-tone alloy wheels, adaptive LED headlights, matrix LED taillights, and piano black trimmings. The five-door model’s dimensions remain the same, but it is 160 mm longer to provide room for a larger rear passenger compartment.

The interior employs a head-up display behind the steering wheel, a dual-zone climate control system, a knitted fabric dashboard cover with a light projection ambient lighting system, manual seats with multi-coloured leatherette upholstery, a 12-speaker 360W Harman Kardon surround sound system, and the brand’s newest 9.4-inch round OLED display in the centre of the dashboard for infotainment purposes.

The Driving Assistant Plus package, which includes cutting-edge driver assistance features like autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with stop-go functionality, lane centering assist, blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert with collision warning, and traffic sign recognition, will also be standard on the Cooper S 5 Door in Malaysia as an added bonus for the RM14,000 premium you will be paying over the standard three-door.

There are five exterior colour options for the new MINI Cooper S 5 Door: Chilli Red and Nanuq White, both of which have a black roof, as well as two unique colours called Icy Sunshine Blue and Legend Grey, which have white wing mirrors and a white roof.

CARLIST THOUGHTS 

For MINI fans this model is a godsend as it offers the best of British styling, the convenience of four doors, a gutsy 204hp turbo engine, a well-appointed interior, 12-speaker sound system and a competitive price of RM293,000.
