The Mini is a great car to drive. It is modern and stylish and with the engineering, comfort and safety you would expect from BMW.

.

Engineering:-

BMW have a laser measuring system that checks the bodyshell to ensure it’s dimensions are accurate – to within 0.05 mm (about half the width of a human hair). This remarkable precision results in fantastic aerodynamics & handling.

 

Comfort:-

Specifications Include:

  • Dual Controls

  • Power Assisted Steering 

  • Air Conditioning

  • Adjustable Seat and Steering Wheel

  • Easy to Read Dash Board and Speedometer

  • Electric Windows

                                        

Safety:-

The new MINI Cooper D is also one of the safest cars to drive.

 

Safety equipment includes: Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist. Automatic Stability Control + Traction (ASC+T).

 

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) prevent your wheels from locking up and skidding no matter how slippery the road is. It also guarantees optimised braking distances, and keeps the MINI steerable in the event of emergency braking (eg when practising emergenct stops).

Cornering Brake Control (CBC) improves braking control in even the sharpest bends.

Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) manages the balance of the braking force between front and rear axle, according to the weight distribution of the car.

Automatic Stability Control + Traction (ASC+T) prevent the front wheels from spinning, helping you to steer and accelerate, especially in slippery road conditions

Six airbags, torsional stiffness, side impact protection, crumple zones and pedestrian-friendly bumpers.

                                                    

Anti-roll bars and a cutting-edge multi-link rear suspension will keep your wheels glued to the road.

CO2 emissions of 104 g/km make it one of the most environmentally friendly cars on the road today.
