It’s time to spruce up your Mini

YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN UNIQUE DESIGN Other improvements to the range include new headlights, upgraded engine and new gearbox.

Mini has updated its range by adding a selection of improvements to some of its vehicles. Most of these revolve around changes to the headlights aesthetically, but there are functional aspects as well.

Optionally available, the adaptive LED headlights automatically adjust their brightness to the situation on the road. When driving through a city or in the event of limited visibility due to the weather, it is possible to add in the dimmed turning light so as to intensify illumination of the side section of the roadway. A specifically increased range of the low beam ensures optimum illumination of the road when driving on the motorway.

The adaptive LED headlights now also feature an automatic selective dip function for the high beam. The innovative Matrix technology for the high beam increases visibility range while at the same time avoiding any dazzle effect for other road users.

For this purpose it is divided into four horizontally arranged segments, which are activated and deactivated independently of one another at speeds of over 70 km/h. The high beam segments are controlled based on the situation on the road.

The Mini Yours Customised programme includes retrofit products whose design can be created by customers themselves. The Mini Yours Customised range includes side scuttles, decorative strips for the cockpit fascia, LED door sill finishers and LED door projectors.

Mini Yours Customised products can be selected, designed and ordered through a specially created online shop (www.yours-customised.mini).

Customers can choose between various colours, patterns, surface structures and icons, as well as contributing their own texts and adding a touch of personal style.

The three-cylinder petrol engines of the Mini One now draws its power from a capacity of 1.5 litres. This increases maximum torque by 10 Nm, taking it to 190 Nm. In addition, all petrol engines feature petrol direct injection with the maximum pressure increased from 200 to 350 bar and turbocharger blades made of highly heat-resilient material.

As an alternative to the standard 6-speed manual transmission, a 7-speed Steptronic transmission with double clutch is optionally available for the models Mini One, Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S.
