1.The new MINI. More Safety, More Fun. (Short Version) 2. The new MINI.
More Safety, More Fun. (Long Version) Small car, big safety reserves:
scoring the maximum number of five stars in the Euro NCAP crash test,
the new MINI impressively proves its all-round concept of occupant
safety. The foundation for this best performance in the demanding test
regimen is set by the construction of this new premium compact car
conceived and designed from the start for a supreme level of passive
safety. Indeed, the robust structure of the body with its clearly
defined load paths and deformation zones, just like the high level of
standard features comprising six airbags, three-point seat belts on all
four seats and ISOFIX child seat fastenings at the rear, as well as
central safety electronics for appropriate management of the car's
restraint systems, is a clear expression of the great significance given
to occupant safety in developing cars according to BMW Group standards.
Hence, the new MINI has everything it takes to rank No 1 in its segment
as a premium offer also in terms of safety. The five-star score in the
Euro NCAP crash test was achieved by the new MINI Cooper. But it is
obvious that the positive judgment passed by the testers in the NCAP
(New Car Assessment Programme) also applies to the other models in the
range, all the more so as the MINI Cooper S, the MINI Cooper, the MINI
One and the MINI Cooper D all have the same identical features in terms
of passive safety. For maximum occupant protection in the event of a
collision is an absolute must in all versions of the new MINI.
