KUALA LUMPUR: MINI Malaysia has launched four new 2025 models (including two fully electrified models) namely the Cooper SE, Cooper S, Countryman SE ALL4 and JCW Countryman ALL4.
Florian Kuenstner, vice president MINI Region Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe, Middle Eastand Africa said, "Always unconventional and full of ideas, MINI is an automotive legend that has inspired for more than 60 years. Our story of BIG LOVE encompasses our dedication to celebrating the beauty in individuality, the brilliant potential of doing more with our minimalist design and the passion and fun factor in our Go-Kart feel driving.”
Benjamin Nagel, managing director of BMW Group Malaysia, meanwhile, said, "Today, we are thrilled to introduce the New MINI Family here in Malaysia! With this reinvention and electrifying line-up, MINI continues to inspire with its iconic design and hallmark urban driving fun, while taking a bold step toward a fully electric future."
The new Cooper SE delivers 218hp and 330Nm of torque, bringing the all-electric, 3-door model from 0 to 100kph in just 6.7 seconds, capped at a top speed of 170 km/h.
In comparison, the petrol-powered Cooper S delivers a 204hp and 300Nm of torque, courtesyof a dual-petrol injection system that combines port and direct injection.
To maximise the electrified go-kart sensation in the Cooper SE, the battery is positioned to lower the centre of gravity.
Other intricate design decisions include optimising weight distribution and incorporating a direct steering ratio along a compact steering wheel.
Meanwhile, optimising tyre width improves its lateral dynamics and grip. This results in a delightful, iconic go-kart experience, which is further achieved via highly preloaded stabilisers and Servotronic steering.
With a gross battery capacity of 54.2kWh, the Cooper SE achieves a zero-emissions range of between 387 to 402km on a single charge.
The battery of the Cooper SE can be topped up with an AC Charger at 11kW, while DC Charging allows up to 95kW – the latter which brings the battery from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in just under 30 minutes.
Adding to the ambience are the MINI Experience Modes, which uses specific light graphics to enhance the immersive driving experience, as well as the Harman Kardon surround sound system.
Standard features of the interior are Vescinsport seats, electric seat adjustment with memory, headliner anthracite, the interior and exterior mirror package, interior rear-view mirror with automatic anti-dazzle function, comfort access system and Comfort Package Plus.
Equipped as standard for the Cooper SE are the Driving Assistant and Parking Assistant Plus, with the former including Lane Change Warning with warning when turning and active lane return, Lane Departure Warning with active steering intervention, Speed Limit Info, Manual Speed Limit Assist, Cruise Control with braking function, Front Collision Warning with brake intervention, Evasion Assistant, Rear Crossing Traffic Warning with brake intervention, Rear-end Collision Prevention, and Exit Warning.

Besides that, the optional additional driver assistance feature – the Driving Assistant Plus will also be available to the New MINI Cooper SE, offering Active cruise control with Stop&Go, Steering and Lane Control Assistant, Manual and Automatic Speed Limit Assistant.
The Cooper SE features the New MINI Operating System 9.
Meanwhile, the MINI Intelligent Personal Assistant presents MINI’s first fully fledged voice assistant, enabling voice-controlled navigation, telephony entertainment and numerous other vehicle functions.
