ASSISTANCE FEATURES
POSSIBILITIES,
PLANNED FOR.
Safety doesn’t stop the moment a collision occurs—what happens next is just as crucial.

If a severe accident occurs and airbags deploy, the car independently connects to emergency services, broadcasting precise GPS location and vehicle data so help arrives as soon as possible. Every modern MINI also features a dedicated SOS button if medical or vehicle related assistance is required.

Standard with every MINI for the first 4 years/unlimited miles, Roadside Assistance is available 24 hours a day, anywhere in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico and offers towing, locked-out service, and on-site assistance.
BMW GROUP
Since joining the BMW Group in 1994, MINI has rapidly evolved while remaining deeply devoted to the heritage, character, and unmistakable flair that’s defined us for decades. For over 30 years, BMW’s world-renowned engineering has helped shape MINI and bring forward new generations of innovation—from intuitive user interfaces and operating systems to advanced driver assistance features.
Step inside Plant Leipzig
Home of the Countryman and synonymous with expanding what’s possible, the first MINI models produced entirely in Germany came to life at Plant Leipzig.
Production at Plant Oxford
A true leader in automotive innovation, BMW Group’s Plant Oxford has served as the birthplace and heart of the Cooper for over twenty years and counting.
SMALL CAR SAFETY
Small but unyielding, safety isn’t defined by size—it’s built through uncompromising engineering and relentless standards. MINIs might be more compact than average, but they’re formulated to protect like few others.
Powerful materials
From spot welds to soldering and bolting to bonding, the chassis of our vehicles are made of high-strength steels and lightweight aluminum forged together by state-of-the-art, ultra-precise robots—with experts ensuring standards of excellence are met at every touchpoint.
Meticulous design
Crumple zones manage crash energy by absorbing and redirecting the brunt of the impact; ours are manufactured using deep-drawn, high-strength steels and lightweight aluminums that come together to create a rigid yet lightweight body structure primed for protection.
Accolades
The results are in.
With Active Blind Spot Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Frontal Collision Warning, and so much more all standard, it’s no surprise the MINI Countryman was an IIHS top safety pick for the second year in a row.
