The variants are the Countryman Sports with Blackline Package priced at RM243,280 and the Countryman Sports with Panoramic Sunroof price at RM247,280.
Prices are on-the-road for personal registration without insurance but with sales tax.
The Blackline Package variant comes with stylish upgrades to its exterior elements – going from sleek chrome trims to the elegant Piano Black finishing.
These elements include the front grille, headlight and taillight trims, door handles, MINI emblems in the front and rear, along with the COUNTRYMAN and COOPER S emblems.
The Blackline Package variant will be available in British Racing Green or Light White and completed with Black roof.
This exclusive variant is limited to only 38 units in Malaysia.
Meanwhile, the Panoramic Sunroof variant adds open-top thrill to the driving experience and further enhancing the interior ambience with more light and fresh air.
Both variants feature the powerful 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with MINI TwinPower Turbo that produces 192hp and 280Nm of torque.
The 0-100kph sprint is achieved in 7.5 seconds and a maximum speed of 225kph is possible.
Paired with the seven-speed Dual Clutch Sports automatic transmission, gear shifting is fast with a high degree of shift comfort and optimised efficiency.
Additionally, a coasting function comes as standard and is triggered in both the MID and GREEN driving modes, allowing the MINI to roll along at idling speed to reduce fuel consumption as the drivetrain is decoupled upon deceleration.
Inside, the headliner is covered with Anthracite upholstery, and the Sport Seats are in the luxurious Leather Cross Punch in Carbon Black.
The final touch of sophistication is offered via the new John Cooper Works Interior Surface in Piano Black.
Standard are an 8.8-inch MINI Navigation System which can be operated via the touchscreen, centre console, or even voice control.
The vehicle features a built-in 4G SIM card which is permanently fitted in the vehicle so owners can also connect their iPhone wirelessly to the vehicle and use the MINI Visual Boost to access numerous features on the phone with Apple CarPlay.
They get the latest MINI Connected that offers a wide range of digital services such as the Intelligent Emergency Call, MINI TeleServices and Remote Services.
Wireless charging is available to ensure mobile phones are always charged.
Another highlight is the 12 High Performance Speaker Harman Kardon Sound System with DSP Amplifier and Class-D technology, outputting 360 watts of pure acoustic power.
BMW Group Malaysia managing director Harald Hoelzl said the Cooper S Countryman Sports has remained one of the most popular models in the local MINI portfolio since its introduction in 2018.
"In the two years of its availability here, we have delivered over 800 units in Malaysia.
"The sporty model also accounted for 75% of total MINI deliveries in 2019. These figures are indicative of the model’s significant success within the local market, and we are more than thrilled to introduce two new additions to this line-up," he said.
