Concept and safety.
AUTOMATIC START/STOP FUNCTION. The Automatic Start/Stop function
(manual transmission only) means that when the engine is idling – for example,
at a red light or in a traffic jam – it is automatically switched off. As soon as the
clutch pedal is depressed, the engine is switched back on.
SHIFT POINT DISPLAY. The Shift Point Display (manual transmission only)
tells you via instructions in the revolution counter what gear you should be in to
maximize fuel economy, reducing your emissions and your expenditure on fuel.
MINIMALISM. True to the motto that less is more, a host of innovative technologies
combine to ensure that the MINI Countryman and MINI Paceman are not only
great fun to drive, but very economical in the process. In the combined driving
cycle, the diesel models consume just . to . litres of fuel per kilometres
( – grams CO
per kilometre), and the MINI One Countryman requires . litres
( grams of CO
). The MINI Cooper Countryman and MINI Cooper Paceman models
are similarly impressive in the combined cycle, using just . litres per kilometres
( grams of CO
), while the Cooper S models consume . litres ( grams of CO
)
over the same distance.

BRAKE ENERGY REGENERATION. Brake Energy Regeneration uses Intelligent
Alternator Control to convert unneeded kinetic energy into electricity. When the
driver’s foot is not on the gas, more energy is diverted to charging the battery than
when the car is under acceleration.
COMMON-RAIL TECHNOLOGY. High-pressure injection at a consistent , bar
and multiple pre-injections ensure the diesel enters the cylinder as a fine mist, which
makes the engine run more quietly and improves both output and fuel economy.
FULLY VARIABLE VALVE TIMING. Fully variable timing of intake valve lift increases
power output while simultaneously improving the efficiency of combustion. On all
models with petrol engines.
The MINIMALISM ANALYSER.

Part of the optional MINI Connected infotainment
system (see the “Technology and equipment. Entertainment and communi cations”
section for more details), the MINIMALISM Analyser monitors a number of variables
to determine how economically you are currently driving, and gives you advice on
how you could use less fuel. After each journey, you can review and compare your
driving data with the user-friendly MINI Connected app, and refine your driving style
for even greater fuel-efficiency.
