When designers set out to create the original Mini over 50 years ago, their goal was to build a four-passenger car that was both fuel-efficient and affordable. The result today is a ride many people equate with a high-powered sports car. So how did it happen? Pushing all four wheels to the corners and turning the engine sideways, MINI increased the passenger room and the stability at the same time. These simple innovations have resulted in the unparalleled MINI handling that so many enjoy today. Other more recent innovations have further enhanced MINI’s world-famous handling.
TwinPower Turbo Engine
The TwinPower turbo engine helps MINI maintain speeds like never before, supplying immediate torque that holds through the engine’s power curve. The Turbo engine is available on the MINI Hardtop 2 Door, MINI Hardtop 4 Door, the MINI Clubman, and MINI Convertible. This award winning TwinPower Turbo engine is the perfect complement to MINI’s precise handling.
Dynamic Stability Control
By automatically applying selective brake pressure or engine power, Dynamic Stability Control helps you stay on course and in control. If your MINI starts to stray, DSC uses sensors to measure the steering angle and lateral acceleration to determine the direction you need to go. It’s reassuring to know that your MINI is always looking out for you.
Adjustable Driving Modes
For shifting moods and changing driving conditions, MINI has an adjustable drivetrain. Choose Sport mode for tighter steering and a more aggressive and thrilling drive. Switch to Green mode for optimal fuel economy. By tweaking the shift points and adding a coasting feature, Green mode actually disengages the automatic transmission when your foot is off the accelerator. Adjustable Driving Mode is standard on all MINI models.
ALL4 All-Wheel Drive
Don’t let a little thing like winter slow you down. ALL4 all-wheel drive is available on the MINI Countryman and MINI Paceman. With less than one tenth of a second response time thanks to its integration with the Dynamic Stability Control System, you’ll feel safe and secure no matter what the conditions.
