Does the MINI meed modern safety standards?
All MINI models offer extremely high standards of both passive and active safety. Active safety: The MINI is fitted with ABS, EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution) and CBC (Cornering Brake Control) and Brake Assist. All MINI models have ASC+T (Automatic Stability Control + Traction) as standard. DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) is available as an option for the MINI Cooper Classic. Passive safety: The MINI looks after its occupants – award-winningly so, in fact: in April 2007, the MINI Cooper received the highest possible score of five stars in the Euro NCAP Crash Test with regard to adult occupant safety. A number of different measures were introduced in order to meet this target, including the use of extremely stable load-bearing structures and an extremely rigid occupant compartment, highly efficient restraint systems and above all the excellent use of the intelligent deformation pathways, which channel energy in the event of a collision. All MINI have six airbags as standard. For
