MINI Malaysia has introduced the new MINI Clubman
Sterling Edition, a limited-edition model that is exclusively available for
booking online via a dedicated website. The flash sale is set to go live from
August 15 to 26, so if you want to secure one of the 20 units being offered.
Based on the F54 Cooper S Clubman, the Sterling
Edition comes with a Melting Silver exterior body colour, matched with Matte
Black Jack mirror caps and roof decal. The side scuttles near the front wheels
also feature Black Union Jack symbols within them as a homage to the brand’s
British origins.
Exclusive to the Sterling Edition is a set of
18-inch MINI Yours Masterpiece alloy wheels finished in black, which differ
from the regular Cooper S’ gloss black 18-inch Star Spoke units. Meanwhile, the
cabin adopts a Pure Burgundy and Indigo Blue combination, the latter being the
colour of the upholstery for the Chester leather seats.
The Pure Burgundy interior also comes with the MINI
Yours Illuminated Interior, offering owners 12 pre-set colours to choose from,
similar to what you’ll find in the latest Countryman. The Chrome Line interior
trim and an anthracite headliner are still part of the interior design.
The Sterling Edition is fitted with a
MINI Yours ‘Walknappa’ steering wheel wrapped with Nappa leather and featuring
aluminium colours stitching and the union jack insignia (Cooper S Clubman has a
John Cooper Works steering wheel).
Other additions include the MINI Parking Assist
function, which helps make parking a little less stressful for the driver,
along with the help of a rear-view camera. The MINI Connected infotainment
system also receives a boost, now offering a navigation function.
Everything else on the Sterling Edition is similar
to the regular Cooper S Clubman, including the 2.0 litre four-cylinder engine
and eight-speed sport automatic transmission. The engine outputs 192 hp at
5,000 rpm and 280 Nm (300 Nm on overboost) at 1,250 rpm, with the century
sprint being accomplished in 7.1 seconds (228 km/h top speed).
The Clubman Sterling Edition has an estimated price
tag of RM 268,888 on-the-road without insurance, and as part of the flash sale
mentioned earlier, interested parties will need to fork out a RM 2,000 booking
fee. Each purchase includes a four-year/unlimited mileage warranty,
four-year/60,000 km free service package and five-year Roadside Assistance
programme.
