Elevate Your Presence with the All-New MINI Countryman S ALL4 & Aceman
The New MINI family product line-up in Malaysia has grown this year as the automaker recently ushered in its latest combustion-powered SUV model in the form of The All-New and locally assembled (CKD) MINI Countryman S ALL4. This follows up from the introduction of The All-electric Aceman before that.
Essentially, The New Countryman S ALL4 continues The MINI marque’s 65-year-long legacy, combining German engineering with its long-storied British heritage at the same time. Revealed back in 2023, The Countryman S ALL4 sits as the largest model in MINI’s new product family alongside its all-electric twin, The MINI Countryman SE ALL4.
As its BEV counterpart already debuted prior, The New Countryman S ALL4 offers buyers a petrol-powered alternative, thus ensuring that there’s a MINI in all shapes and sizes for every lifestyle and preference.
At a glance, The New Countryman S ALL4 represents a departure in design compared to its predecessor, sporting a more ‘conventional’ SUV crossover bodystyle with some distinctive design features dictated by the marque’s ‘Charismatic Simplicity’ design ethos. Key touches amongst these include the new triangular LED headlamps flanking its new octagonal grille, new LED taillights with three unique light signatures, the Favoured Trim package, and the 20-inch Windmill Spoke alloy wheels.
Thanks to these distinct design elements, The New MINI Countryman S ALL4 remains unmistakable still as a MINI, retaining all the traditional tripartite features that sets it apart from others.
What MINI also managed to retain in The New Countryman S ALL4 is the signature Go-Kart Feeling driving dynamics made famous by the Cooper hatch. For the petrol-powered variant, The New Countryman S ALL4 harnesses an enhanced 2.0-litre 4-cyl turbocharged heart delivering 204 HP and 300 NM, altogether granting drivers a similar exhilarating drive as other MINI models do.
Combined with its rugged SUV aesthetics, The New Countryman S ALL4 also comes with MINI’s next-gen ALL4 All-Wheel Drive system that adds enhanced abilities to chart down the unpaved path too.
As The New MINI Countryman S ALL4 grew in size, MINI designers have also laced its innards with tonnes of modern connectivity functions and digital comfort. Chief amongst which is the signature new circular OLED display acting as the main infotainment interface, housing all the connectivity bells and whistles including navigation, media, and wireless smartphone mirroring (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto).
Further elevating The New Countryman S ALL4 driving experience are the array of driving assistance functions. Cutting-edge ADAS functions like the Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Change Warning, Front Collision, and Evasion Assistant all helped to ensure that every journey with The New Countryman S ALL4 was not only safe but also seamless and effortless.
For those who are seeking the same rugged crossover aesthetics but in a more compact and electrified form, perhaps The New, All-Electric MINI Aceman would fit your bill just nicely. Positioned between both the Cooper and Countryman, The New Aceman combines both cutting-edge technology and the classic MINI look and feel, while boasting a pretty decent level of practicality in a seemingly compact package.
The classic MINI look and feel are very apparent on The Aceman’s exterior design, as it gets the same ‘Charismatic Simplicity’ design ethos as The Countryman, resulting in a quirky, bold, and edgy look on this subcompact premium crossover.
Just like any modern EVs out there, The New Aceman is brimmed with tech amenities on-board, with its signature circular OLED display and the ambient lighting system coming in several MINI Experience Modes. With modes like Core, Vivid, Balance, and many more, all these MINI Experience modes have their own signature lighting, soundscape and design, while the Go-Kart mode provides The Aceman with sportier handling, thus further enhancing that MINI feeling inside this electric crossover.
Speaking of Go-Kart, you can also enjoy the iconic Go-Kart feel with The Aceman, with most of the fun provided by its peppy all-electric drivetrain setup and the heightened sporty handling. With 215 HP and 330 NM of twist on tap, The Aceman can deliver the same zippy and exhilarating driving experience made famous by the Cooper hatch of the past.
Comfort is also utmost important inside The New Aceman, as its seemingly compact yet spacious cabin is brimmed with plush eco-friendly materials and upholstery. Be it the high-end knitted fabrics that engulf its front dash, or the leatherette upholstery made from recycled materials, The New Aceman is at the forefront of offering sustainably-sourced comfort.
Bold design with stylish looks, plus a tech-laden cabin that’s also plush and comfortable, not forgetting a sublime yet peppy powertrain delivering MINI’s signature Go-Kart Feeling, there’s no doubting how desirable The All-New MINI Countryman S ALL4 is, why it stands as the perfect urban companion.
Of course, like many of life’s finer things, there is a price to pay, but we’ll argue The New Countryman S ALL4 commands a justifiable premium at RM258,888 sans insurance. With MINI Malaysia’s Easy Financing plan, it could be yours from as low as RM2,338 per month even.
