MINI Cooper S Favoured Trim

Add some racing flair to your MINI. These distinctive John Cooper Works sports seats for driver and front passenger put you in full control of the power beneath you. Developed using special sport-seat geometry, they feature integrated headrests and provide extra shoulder support for when you take the corners with legendary MINI handling. There’s also a convenient storage pocket at the back. They are included in the Favoured and JCW trim.

Inspired by jet cockpit technology, the MINI Head-Up Display puts everything you want to know right in your line of sight. Installed on your dashboard, the transparent screen displays key data such as driving speed, maps, driver assistance features and entertainment details. As clear as can be, it provides excellent image quality even in brightly lit environments. You can easily adjust height and brightness, and you can tailor the information it displays to your needs. It also adapts to the MINI Experience Mode you have chosen so you enjoy a consistent and holistic experience – and stay fully in the picture.

See things you might have missed. In addition to LED daytime running lights and powerful Bi-LED low- and high-beams, this package offers cornering light in LED technology. This is adaptive light distribution with increased illumination at the sides enabling you to see around curves and corners – for city, rural and motorway traffic as well as in bad weather. The high-beam assistant detects oncoming vehicles, and automatically activates your low-beam to avoid dazzling other drivers. In the light menu, you can choose from three distinctive light signatures created by daytime running light, front and rear light combinations – complemented by a corresponding welcome and goodbye orchestration.

Immerse yourself in a compelling orchestration of light and sound. Choose from up to eight MINI Experience Modes and transform your interior into a new sensory experience. Each mode has its own creative design, colour, dynamic background and sound palette. Flick the switch in the toggle bar and personalise your surroundings to how you're feeling. Core, Go-kart and Green come as standard – and four optional modes – Personal, Timeless, Vivid and Balance – give you more ways to see, hear and feel your mood in the cockpit. An optional light projector on the back of the MINI Interaction Unit bathes the whole dash in colours and patterns to match the Experience Mode selected. And the optional Head-up Display also adapts to the mode you have chosen.

Like having an extra pair of eyes. The camera and radar-based Driving Assistant warns you from a speed of 20 km/h or more about vehicles in the “blind spot” and if needed actively supports steering your MINI back into the lane. In addition it helps detecting crossing traffic behind you when you are reversing with your MINI. It also helps preventing accidents in the rear e.g. by warning approaching traffic by flashing your MINI ‘s hazard lights. Last but not least it warns you when you open the door for exiting your MINI in case there is a risk of a collision with traffic passing by from the back (e.g. a cyclist). Please note that the systems contained in this equipment only provide assistance within specifically defined limits. Drivers bear the final responsibility to adapt their driving to respond to the traffic conditions. Subject to country-specific regulations.

MINI Comfort Access is a keyless entry system for your car. It detects the key in your pocket or bag when you come within approx. three metres on either side of your MINI. It then switches the ambient lighting and light carpet on, welcoming and guiding you to the door. It can automatically unlock your MINI when you are approaching your car and one metre away without you having to touch the door handle. It automatically locks your vehicle when you move approx. two metres away. In both cases, there's no need to reach for your fob – the whole process is quick and easy. It’s just perfect for when you need to come and go quickly. You can’t lock your key inside by mistake, either.

Enjoy new perspectives, a wider field of vision and greater ease. This package adds extra functions to your MINI’s exterior and interior mirrors to make your drive safer and more comfortable. Electrically-folding side mirrors protect your MINI from damage when you park. The front-passenger side mirror tilts automatically when you reverse so you can see the curb. The smart-tinting glass dims to protect your eyes from glare. And you can save your preferred mirror and seat settings using the memory function. In cold weather, your mirrors automatically warm up to reduce condensation and prevent ice building up. And you get greeted on board every time by the MINI logo projection from your external mirror.

Cooler than you might think. Steering wheel heating gets the rim of your steering wheel to a comfortable temperature in a very short time. So in the winter months, this will keep your hands warm as you drive and make your daily commute or road trip a far more pleasant experience. When it comes to environmental friendlyness also a cool feature. Much more efficient than to heat up the whole interior, especially on short trips.
