oops, the steering is in the front seat review mini cooper 5 door by autonetmagz finally i'm in the right position so it turns out if this is a 5-doors mini cooper this is a mini cooper, but it's 5 doors, it has 2 extra doors maybe for some mini cooper purists, they will be pissed off... because a mini cooper has to be 3 doors only, not 5, right? but let me explain, this thing also ever happened to porsche and bmw... when at that time, porsche made an suv and a four-door sport saloon...
called.. what? panamera so many protests at that time, but it turns out that other car makers also follow their step... just like bmw when they first released the x5 "seriously? bmw, the premium saloon maker suddenly has made an suv?" now, from that point we can learn if a transformation can give us a positive result... for example, this mini cooper why it has to be 5 doors? in europe, the biggest market for mini, hatchbacks market share is 70% dominated by 5 doors hatchback... which clearly, it's more practical...
and for the 3 doors hatchback, the market share is less than 30% so imagine, how many people out there who want to buy a mini cooper... but they cancel it because it just have 3 doors and narrow acces to the back seat? so this is the chance for mini to get further to... "here, we offer you the 5 doors version" when you look at the exterior, you won't notice a difference between the 3 doors and the 5 doors version... if you look it directy from the front or from the rear.. everything almost exactly the same and from the side, you can see the difference...
first, it has 1 more doors at each side... of course it has, it's a 5 doors mini... and then furthermore, it has a difference at the glass... if the 3 doors version has frameless glass, this one isn't a frameless i don't like it a bit, because the unique side of a mini cooper 3 doors, the frameless door is pretty cool... and even it has extra doors, but the wheelbase is only extended by 72 mm... meanwhile the length of the car is extended 161 mm which is, if you compare together, the 3 doors and 5 doors is not so much different... even from the side the 5 doors looks much longer, but mathematically it's not quite much longer
and if you pay attention from this car, maybe you'll se if... "oh, the current mini has no floating roof anymore" because the roof color is black, just like the pillar color... but this is just beacuse of the color option... in fact, for the mini cooper 5 doors non-s type, the flagship color is this grey ... we also have another color option, especially if you want a white colored roof... without 1,5 million idr extra cost for choosing another color you know what car that i mean, don't you? now, when you jump in to the interior, everything is exactly the same with the 3 doors mini cooper, almost no differences...
yup, from the steering wheel, dashboard design, everything is exactly the same as the 3 doors version the seat height is also the same, a little bit buried just like the old mini cooper so, from the interior this mini cooper 5 doors only different in a larger rear space ... so from the front, we don't have to tak about it anymore, because it's already featured in the old video, as well as the exterior... and now we'll try to drive. first of all, the engine is still similar with the mini cooper 3 doors... it's a 1.5 litre, 136 hp and 220 nm of torque quite a big torque, isn't it? that's why, the engine power is still the same, 3-cylinder with twin power turbo... but, if we read the spesification, based on the claim, it is only slower 0.1 seconds...
even though this car is longer, bigger and heavier this is such a great figure, remembering those extra doors at the back... and if you switch to sport mode... the feeling is still the same, it still very good... so, if you want to overtake, you don't need to downshift the gear, just kickdown the accelerator... this car is very responsive and if we tak about handling... to be honest, this car isn't as good as the 3 doors version obviously, because the wheelbase is longer...
and if we talk about the suspension, this is much more comfortable when driving through speedbumps or broken roads... which is, yes, if you want to fit peoples inside this car until it's full... this car has to be comfortable for city driving, but without reducing the go-kart feel... yes, i admit, it is clear that the 3 doors version has better handling compared to this one... but if you compare this with another 5 door hatchbacks in its class... for example... vw golf maybe? but the price is different... yeah, you can conclude yourself... the other 5 doors hatchbacks, obviously, this car's handling still has a go-kart feel... even though isn't as good as the 3 doors
yeah, let's say if you want a mini cooper for a daily use... so, because the different is not much, the performance, the handling isn't much different.. and the comfort, thumbs up for this car, it's more comfortable for daily driving and it's more practical... so, the conclusion is, this is a mini cooper... which i want to have so we can drive in style but still suitable for daily use, not just for weekend as a hobby car... but this is a daily car which you can use for its comfort, its functionality, to go with your friends... and if you want to be a liitle bit naughty on the streets... it can serve you well anytime
it has good acceleration... even though this car hasn't got any paddle shift, because this isn't mini cooper s version... maybe if we drive the mini cooper s which is faster, has different engine, different suspension, we can tell you many things... because the feature is obviously different but because this is still an ordinary mini cooper, so you can look at the video below for more information... how is the back seat? let's find out about it this is the back seat, and because it has a back door acces, it much easier to get here... this is my driving position and i still have sufficient leg room, so i think it's quite large, more spacious than the 3 doors... and the headroom is very good even the seat is too upright
and this car has 3 headrests here, so here in the middle, it supposed to be occupied by a person... but it has center console... so if you want to sit here in the middle, you have to raise your legs... like this maybe mini cooper has it on purpose for the john cooper works version which has got mini all4, the four wheel drive system not just that, here, there's a unique thing here if for example, it has 2 step reclining... so if we... we open it, then it can be made to be more upright so if we make it more upright, it will look like this...
but unfortunately, the difference with the 3 doors version is... this car, the 5 doors version, it feels more... not more upright, but feels like bending our body... just like hillsat thinking about his destiny... "why am i still single?" let's put it back on the first position, so easy, and this is the ideal position how about the trunk? let's see and this is the trunk, it is 67 litre bigger so it's more spacious it has a tray and like the 3 door version, the trunk can be made bigger by putting this up here
here too, we'll get tool kits under here this is.. the spider net, cargo net... but we won't get any spare tires... because it's based on bmw, where it always uses run-flat tires... so if the tires gone flat, you can still use it for several kilometers00:09.28.49this is what i said earlier, we make this bigger... now, so much difference right? between the normal position and forwarded position to carry more stuff... so, this is a mini cooper which is useable to carry many things... if mr. bean carrying his chair, he don't have to put it on the roof, maybe he can put it here so the conclusion from this mini cooper 5 doors, this is a mini cooper which more suitable for daily use...
which is, if people used to buy mini cooper 3 door to be used on weekend with friends, driving in style... but this mini cooper is a proper mini cooper for your daily activity, for example, going to college or office... yes, this is a mini cooper which appropriate for such things... it's ore flexible, it has 5 doors, it has bigger trunk, and also it's got more comfortable suspension... but if suddenly you meet an empty road, this car still has a really good performance... and for a hatchback, the suspension still has the go-kart feel... if this car isn't enough, yes, you can buy the mini cooper s with different suspension, different engine, and more features fitted in the car so, because we're... i'm not so... even borrowing the ordinary mini cooper, not the mini cooper s, it feels very special for us
yes, but i want this car for my daily driving because this car is so appealing on the road, it just looks so cool... it's different to another sport hatchbacks, because it's more unique that's the conclusion from autonetmagz, and last... this is a mini cooper with openable rear window, so you can wave your hand from here don't forget to subscribe for you who haven't, like this video and share this video to your social media account bye
