This month marks MINI’s 55th worldwide anniversary as well as Malaysia’s Independence Day. To celebrate this memorable milestone and occasion, MINI Malaysia today announced that the company will be selling a special limited edition of the MINI Cooper Countryman dubbed ’55 Edition’ MINI Countryman.
Limited to only 55 units, the special edition MINI Countryman is made exclusively for Malaysian customers at a retail price of RM188,888 on-the-road without insurance, with 3-years MINI Service Inclusive. That’s RM30,000 cheaper than the standard MINI Cooper Countryman.
“Malaysia has been our home for more than 10 years now and with the loyal support of our MINI customers here, we are proud to have established ourselves as the number one premium automotive company here. The new 55 Edition MINI Countryman is our way of thanking our Malaysian “MINIacs” and paying tribute to Malaysia for all that she has been to us,” said Mr. Alan Harris, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia.
What sets this limited edition model apart from a standard MINI Countryman is the addition of an exclusive 55 Edition Sports Stripe which runs across its front bonnet, side skirting and rear tailgate, as well as a 55 Edition Badge which proudly sits on its characteristic hexagonal radiator grille.
The car is also fitted with distinctive halogen head lights and fog lamps which provide drivers with optimum visibility when on straight or bending roads alike. Additionally, the robustness of the car is further emphasized by 16-inch 5-Star Single Spoke Light Alloy Rims.
The 55 Edition MINI Countryman is powered by the familiar 1.6-litre naturally aspirated engine that’s capable of generating a maximum output of 120hp and 155Nm of torque. This enables the car to sprint from 0 to 100km/h in 11.6 seconds while registering an average fuel consumption of only 7.6 litres per 100 kilometres.
Inside, the 55 Edition MINI Countryman is fitted with Cloth Cosmos Carbon Black upholstery to highlight a contrast between the car’s exterior and interior colours. This contrast is further emphasized with elliptical door bezels in Piano Black with a Polar Beige inlay. The interior of the special edition MINI Countryman also prides itself with a selection of functional safety features including rain sensors, automatic driving light control as well as an automatic anti-dazzle rear view mirror.
In terms of in-car entertainment offering, the new variant of the MINI Countryman also features on-board MINI Radio Basis with Bluetooth interface which allows drivers to comfortably and safely operate their smartphones via Bluetooth from the multifunction steering wheel.
The new 55 Edition MINI Countryman is available in a range of exterior colours including Blazing Red, True Blue, Royal Grey, Light White and Brilliant Copper. Roof and mirror cap options in black are made available with all exterior colours, however, white roof and mirror cap options are only exclusively available with the Blazing Red, True Blue and Royal Grey exterior colours.
