MINI Malaysia Introduces the All-New Locally Assembled MINI Countryman S ALL4. - A New, locally assembled petrol-powered version for those that want something traditionally powered



Recently MINI Malaysia introduced the All-New MINI Countryman S ALL4, expanding on the New MINI Family in Malaysia with a locally assembled petrol-powered variant that ensures there is a MINI for every lifestyle and preference. This is for those that want the largest MINI in a traditional petrol powered form and it will cost you from an estimated RM259,000.



Benjamin Nagel, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia states, “2024 was a redefining year for MINI in Malaysia as we introduced the concept of Charismatic Simplicity for the first time here with the new generation of MINI that celebrates essential design, purposeful functionality, and the timeless appeal of the MINI spirit. Today, we are thrilled to begin 2025 with the introduction of the All-New Locally-Assembled MINI Countryman S ALL4 to our portfolio, broadening the horizons of the New MINI Family for our customers in Malaysia and delivering the full spectrum of versatility and excitement that MINIacs in Malaysia have come to cherish.”




Locally assembled, the All-New MINI Countryman S ALL4 features its signature proportions and the Favoured Trim with the MINI Countryman SE ALL4 variant introduced in 2024. Like its electrified SE counterpart, the All-New MINI Countryman S ALL4 makes a bold statement – taller and lengthier compared to its predecessor, while remaining distinctly MINI. The new dimensions offer more spaciousness, enhanced comfort and heightened safety, making it a versatile and family-friendly vehicle. 

Additionally, the All-New MINI Countryman S ALL4’s all-wheel drive powertrain, robust crossover design, upright profile and a slightly widened track makes it a perfect companion for both everyday commuting and outdoor escapades. This is the largest MINI you can buy, and now in the a powertrain which I still prefer to get my cars in.

2025 MINI Countryman S ALL4 product summary


The All-New MINI 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. At the front, the intricate octagonal grille is flanked by LED headlights, enhanced with a high-beam assistant and three adjustable light signatures. Meanwhile, the side profile highlights a seamlessly integrated, gently curved roofline that merges elegantly into the C-pillar, while a characteristic wraparound black band adds a contemporary touch to the vehicle's exterior aesthetics. 

The traditional tripartite division of the vehicle body is further accentuated through the new design language, underscored by 20-inch Windmill Spoke wheels in two-tone. The All-New MINI Countryman S ALL4’s taller, longer, and wider roof underscores the vertical design, delivering a bold and commanding presence.
