Design: Premium not pretentious.
The New MINI Clubman Sterling Edition offers unprecedented aesthetics brimming with serene
elegance. Clever ideas, emotionally charged design and a sophisticated colour and material
mix all come together to exude characteristics of a modern gentleman who is chivalrous,
sophisticated and confident.
One of its key exterior highlights is its Melting Silver body colour with the subtle Matte Black
Jack mirror caps and roof décor. This is complemented further by Black Union Jack symbols
located at the side scuttles to pay homage to its glorious British origins. The bespoke 18” MINI
Yours Masterpiece wheels in burnish black similarly conveys supreme elegance for every
occasion. With stylishness, attention to detail and a high degree of sophistication, the New
MINI Clubman Sterling Edition demonstrates highlights seen for the first time in this form.
Like a finely tailored jacket, its lining is usually fitted with a more vivid and contrasting tone
versus the jacket’s colour as an expression of the owner’s character, class and style. This bold
concept is embodied in the New MINI Clubman Sterling Edition’s interior, with its combination
of Indigo Blue and Pure Burgundy. The Pure Burgundy interior is made available with MINI
Yours Illuminated Interior, which allows the owner to choose from 12 pre-set colours to the
trims, fitting to whatever the mood and liking of the driver and passengers.
Inside, the driver will also be greeted by the supple seats in luxurious Chester Leather
upholstery in Indigo Blue crafted to deliver a smooth feel of the leather against the driver’s
hand with its diagonal quilting. Indeed, these new-generation seats evoke the classic
Chesterfield sofa. Additionally, the design of the sports seats cites the British heritage of MINI
while delivering contemporary interpretations of its characteristic diamond pattern.
The steering wheel also represents the best in British craftsmanship, wrapped in a soft Nappa
leather and completed with a hand finished aluminium coloured stitching. At the bottom of the
steering wheel, there is also the signature union jack insignia.
Premium technology to maximize the experience.
The Parking Assist function automatically steers the new MINI into any parallel parking spaces.
The parking distance control function measures the parking space on both sides of the car as
the driver drives along. Once a suitable parking space is found, the MINI will instruct the driver
to stop where the speed can be controlled in coordination with the guidance given on the
screen using the automatic steering. Reversing into and out of tight spots has also never been
easier as the Rear-View Camera provides a clear picture of what’s behind the driver, and even
provides guidelines to help street the driver in the right direction.
MINI Connected, a new personal mobility assistant.
MINIs are best known for two things: style and superb driving dynamics. But with owners
spending a large majority of their time in the car, MINI’s strongest feature is also the state-of-
the-art infotainment system called the MINI Connected.
The infotainment interface of the New MINI Clubman Sterling Edition is gorgeous – with a 6.5”
high resolution LCD mounted in the central speedometer with graphics tuned to hug its inner
circumference. The MINI Connected infotainment itself features over 30 million songs which
can stream live to the MINI. Intuitive Spotify Interface is ever present in the MINI’s screen and
all control functions are easily accessed with the MINI controller which is small, but comes
packed with features. Owners are able to rotate the stick to scroll through menus, tilt side to
side to move around the interface and then press to select items. Additionally, standard
readings such as current fuel consumption, current fuel range and last known locations can be
viewed via the MINI Connected phone App.
Navigation is also a breeze with easily found new or frequent destinations. Appointments and
addresses that are saved in the owner’s calendar can also be used as pre-set destinations.
With the new and advanced system, route guidance is immediately displayed the moment
MINI owners connect their iPhones to the car.
MINI Roadside Assistance.
The New MINI Clubman Sterling Edition is also covered by MINI Malaysia’s newest 5 Years
Roadside Assistance program, available for all new MINI vehicles with a comprehensive list of
