The GREEN mode in your MINI offers you a consistently consumption-reducing setting for a maximum range. To activate GREEN, press the MINI Driving Modes switch down until GREEN is displayed in the instrument cluster.

The ALL4 all-wheel-drive is an intelligent torque vectoring system that maximises traction on virtually any surface. It's electrohydraulic multi-disc clutch* is linked to Dynamic Stability Control and smoothly varies the amount of drive torque distributed from the MINI TwinPower Turbo engine to the front and rear axles according to the driving situation.That all means optimal traction, maximum stability and even more fun cruising around corners.

MINI Connected is a group of 'connected' products available in different bundles or packages that use mobile and internet technologies which enable connectivity in and outside of your vehicle. 

WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) is the legally binding test procedure for all car manufacturers that determines figures for exhaust emissions and fuel consumption. This laboratory test will also be supplemented by an emissions test that measures pollutants directly on the road; RDE (Real Driving Emissions).

The MINI App is like a remote control on your phone. You can check your range and top up your charge, plan routes based on your battery usage and activate the air con with Pre-Conditioning to get the cabin temperature just right before you even get in. Start from the comfort of your couch by planning your route from the app, then send it directly to your MINI’s infotainment system so you’re ready to go. Plus, you can use the MINI App on your smartphone to track down where you’ve parked and even check whether you locked your doors.

The greenness of any electric car ultimately depends on the source of the main electricity that feeds the battery. Another aspect of the lifetime CO2 footprint is the energy used to manufacture the battery pack. With this in mind, tests showed that if the MINI Electric is charged using a renewable electricity mix, it breaks even or has ‘worked off’ the CO2 released during its manufacturing after approximately 19,000 km. Over a full life cycle, the emissions of a MINI Electric are 40% (EU mix) and 70% (renewable mix) compared to that of a petrol-driven MINI Cooper S. That means, using typical daily driving distances, it takes just twelve months of driving for the MINI Electric to offset the extra global warming emissions from producing it.

The Driver’s Guide app is an Owner's Handbook for selected MINI models. It provides MINI customers with complete and interactive vehicle information for their vehicles on their smartphone or tablet computer. The app is available for download free of charge in more than 30 languages and more than 55 markets in the Apple and Google app stores.

To use the Driver's Guide for the first time, you need an internet connection. Once you have entered the vehicle identification number (VIN), the Owner's Handbook that matches your vehicle is downloaded and is then also available without an internet connection. 

In addition to a quick reference and detailed vehicle information, the Driver's Guide app also explains the particularly innovative vehicle functions using photo-realistic animations. A link to the How-to area of the BMW YouTube channel provides more explanations in the form of short video clips in English with subtitles.

A "360° view" function with interactive information also allows drivers to explore their MINI from the outside and inside. Users of an Apple iPhone can also use the "Smart Scan" function in combination with the camera of their smartphone. With it, the Driver's Guide app recognises symbols or texts of the function keys in the vehicle interior and automatically provides the corresponding explanations. The better drivers are familiar with their vehicle, the more confidently they will react in traffic.
