Participants, especially MINIacs, will have the chance to experience a lineup of high-performance hot hatches such as the MINI JCW and MINI JCW EV, as well as the JCW Aceman and JCW Countryman ALL4 EV crossover models.
Additionally, MINI Malaysia will provide a full range of the latest models available for test drives, including:

As a reminder, the exclusive MINI Malaysia promotion is still ongoing until June 30, 2025, where each purchase will come with a complimentary 10-year service package for selected models, along with a comprehensive insurance subsidy.
According to Benjamin Nagel, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia, “The MINI JCW Track Day is an extraordinary experience that allows us to bring the excitement of MINI to the maximum level for all MINIacs and driving enthusiasts.
“Driving a JCW model reminds us of the features that make the MINI driving experience so unique, including its responsiveness, precision in every corner, and the tight integration between the driver and the vehicle.
“We hope that participants and MINIacs see this event as a clear reflection of our direction, where passion, precision, and innovation will continue to shape the future of MINI and the JCW experience.”
MINI Malaysia has further expanded its offerings in the local market with the launch of the locally assembled version of the new MINI Countryman S ALL4.
The new Countryman S ALL4’s distinctive design features an upright profile, a slightly widened track, short overhangs, a compact bonnet, and a long wheelbase complemented by large wheels.
It comes equipped with LED headlights with a high-beam assistant and three adjustable light signatures, 20-inch Windmill Spoke wheels in two-tone, and LED taillights – also featuring three unique light signatures. There are six colours to choose from, namely Smokey Green, Slate Blue, Chili Red, Melting Silver, Nanuq White, and Blazing Blue.
Like the Countryman SE ALL4 launched last year, the interior of this model also comes furnished with the Favoured Trim, which includes surfaces made with two-tone recycled polyester fabric through an in-house knitting process.
Equipment-wise, the car features a head-up display behind the sport steering wheel, a 240-mm round OLED display, John Cooper Works sports seats upholstered in vegan leather, Comfort Package Plus, a rear-view mirror with automatic anti-dazzle function, headliner anthracite, and a 12-speaker 365 W Harman Kardon surround sound system.

Front passengers enjoy nearly 3 cm of additional width in the shoulder and elbow areas compared to the predecessor model, while the rear seats offer an enhanced level of comfort with an additional 2.5 cm of shoulder width.
Additionally, each seat can be individually adjusted to 6 positions, including up to a 12-degree tilt for a personalised seating experience. In terms of luggage capacity, the car’s 505 litre space is expandable to 1,530 litres.

Apart from the launch of the MINI Aceman electric crossover model, MINI Malaysia at the same time presents another new model, the MINI Cooper S 5-Door.
With larger dimensions (+160 mm) and a longer wheelbase (+72 mm), the Cooper S 5-Door offers a more practical and versatile alternative compared to the 3-Door Cooper model. It also retains the sporty character of the three-door model.
The exterior features a clamshell hood structure, round LED headlamps, octagon grille, 18-inch alloy rims, triangular-shaped rear lights, and a classic bee-sting radio antenna.
Similar to the Aceman, this Cooper S 5-Door showcases an interior design that emphasizes the use of more eco-friendly recycled materials. Features include sports steering wheel, a 240 mm round OLED central screen, ambient lighting system, head-up display screen, and not forgetting the Harman Kardon surround sound system.
The MINI Cooper S 5-Door provides advanced safety features as a standard, including functions such as Lane Change Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Frontal Collision Warning, Rear Traffic Cross Warning, Active Cruise Control, and Parking Assistant Plus function.
In terms of power, the MINI Cooper S 5-Door is powered by a 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo engine producing 204 hp, with the ability to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.8 seconds.
The driving dynamics of this MINI Cooper S 5-Door are enhanced with specific attention to the chassis, suspension system, and more precise steering, followed by the GO-KART driving mode for a sportier experience.
The estimated selling price of the MINI Cooper S 5-Door starts from RM293,000, excluding service packages and additional guarantees worth RM10,400.
MINI Malaysia today officially launched the latest electric crossover model, MINI Aceman, for the local market.
In terms of size, the MINI Aceman is positioned between the MINI Cooper and MINI Countryman models, but still retains the go-kart-like handling characteristics, thanks to its low center of gravity.
It is powered by a single electric motor producing 218 hp/330 Nm, with acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 7.1 seconds.
The 54.2 kWh battery pack allows a range of up to 406 km on a full charge (WLTP data), making it suitable for urban use and weekend driving.
The MINI Aceman supports 11 kW AC charging, as well as fast DC charging up to 95 kW, allowing the battery to be charged from 10-80 percent in just 30 minutes.
This electric crossover is also equipped with automatic battery preconditioning to ensure optimal charging performance and allow users to set the charging time according to their needs.
Externally, the MINI Aceman features an octagonal grille structure, LED headlights, 19-inch rims, roof rails, and body protection plastic that adorns the wheel arches.
Entering the cabin, the MINI Aceman features a 240 mm OLED circular screen powered by MINI Operating System 9, the use of recycled materials for upholstery, a head-up display screen, and a Harman Kardon surround sound system.
The MINI Aceman also provides the GO-KART driving mode, where the throttle becomes more responsive for a more sporty driving experience.
Loaded safety features include Lane Change Warning, Speed Limit Info, Frontal Collision Warning with brake intervention, and Parking Assistant Plus features such as Active Park Distance Control, Reversing Assist Camera, and Remote 3D View.
The selling price of the MINI Aceman starts from RM213,888 with monthly installments as low as RM2,311 through Easy Drive financing based on a 75 percent loan for a five-year period.
The New MINI Aceman will also be showcased at the MINI Roadshows in all major cities, kicking off at The Exchange TRX from the 9th to the 13th of October 2024.
