MINI Malaysia announces new equipment for F56 3 Door and F55 5 Door – Cooper, Cooper S and JCW

MINI Malaysia has introduced added equipment to the local MINI 3 Door and 5 Door model range. The base F56 Cooper 3 Door now comes dressed with a high gloss black grille and a tailgate handle, and LED headlamps and LED foglights are now standard for the car (previously, available as an option with the Chili package).

Inside, the Cooper 3 Door is now equipped with a dual-zone climate control system (formerly, manual) as well as a 6.5-inch MINI Visual Boost screen, complete with MINI Connected. The Cooper S 3 Door, meanwhile, adds on Comfort Access keyless start/stop, while the John Cooper Works 3 Door, introduced here in April 2015, also gets Comfort Access as well as an auto dimming rear-view mirror and the addition of a rear-view camera.

The changes going on the entry-level F56 are also to be found on the F55 MINI Cooper 5 Door – new kit consists of a high gloss black grille and a tailgate handle on top of LED headlights and fog lights. The Cooper 5 Door now also features a dual-zone climate control system. Ditto the 5 Door version of the Cooper S – Comfort Access goes on.

No mechanical changes, and so you have the familiar 136 hp and 220 Nm 1.5 litre three-cylinder on the Cooper and the 192 hp and 280 Nm B48 2.0 litre turbo four-pot on the Cooper S, with the JCW continuing on with 231 hp and 350 Nm for output numbers.

As for pricing, the MINI Cooper 3 Door now goes for RM188,888, while the Cooper S 3 Door is priced at RM229,888 and the range-topping 3 Door variant, the JCW, goes for RM293,888.

The MINI Cooper 5 Door, meanwhile, is priced at RM193,888 and the Cooper S 5 Door, RM239,888, all on-the-road without insurance. All the MINI offerings come with a four years unlimited mileage warranty with free scheduled service.

    RM293k for a junk mini? Something must be wrong with Ringgit Malaysia. Collpasing so much, ringgit got no more value.

    In other countries, Mini is so affordable. Even normal McDonalds worker also can afford. Here become like Mercedes prices.

  • I don’t understand why a 5 door is more expensive than a 3 door according to our tax structure

    • Not taxes. Sales pricing.
      If Mini wanna price 3door above 5door, then the taxation will follow accordingly.
