OUR SAFETY HEROES.

Our crash test dummies do a lot of work to make sure MINI drivers can have the safest fun on the road. Rigorous testing ensures that passengers and pedestrians are equally protected by the most sophisticated safety features available. With active and passive systems working in sync.

 

From the rigid chassis that reduces body torque, to computer controlled handling that adjusts precisely to the driving conditions, your MINI has it all figured out – so you can concentrate on the thrill of the drive.

ASSISTANT SYSTEMS.

Who said a safe drive had to be boring? At MINI, we think you have more fun on a new adventure if you know you’re secure. The optional Driving Assistant system provides you with features like collision and pedestrian warning. The camera in the windscreen identifies critical situations, gives you a two-step warning and prepares the braking system in order to reduce reaction time. It also features helpful functionality such as traffic sign recognition, high beam assist and active cruise control. And you’ll find other optional safety features onboard a MINI that combine not only to protect but also to improve the world-famous MINI go-kart handling experience. Head Up display or Rear view camera do the hard work in your favour, so you can have all the fun.

Emergency Call.

If the unfortunate happens, MINI is on hand to help. With the optional Emergency Call system, your MINI automatically sends a distress call to the BMW Group Call Centre with your position, direction of travel, and number of airbags activated. Help will arrive rapidly. 

Rigid chassis.

The body structure of a MINI is rigid, but collapsible – essential for absorbing impact. It shields you at all times in the case of impact from the front, rear and side, or if the car rolls over. Using high tension steel, optimized for weight and rigidity, your MINI retains a sporty feel to the drive. Reducing body torque, making that super-tight handling even sharper.

Advanced Braking.

Advanced braking technology gives you total control over your MINI.

Anti-lock braking

Latest-generation, four-sensor, anti-lock brakes allow you to stop quickly even on slippery roads.

 

Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)

Automatically distributes braking force between wheels to suit the driving conditions, as well as your MINI’s current weight distribution.

 

Cornering Brake Control (CBC))

Taken a turn a little too quickly? CBC improves stability on cornering at speed.

 

Brake Assist

Helps you stop faster in emergency situations, by speeding up the process and minimising the braking distance.

Three levels of control.

Three different driving modes have been engineered to keep you safe at all times, while allowing you as much (or as little) control as you want.
