ACTIVE BRAKES
Brakes that will automatically ready themselves for an emergency stop when your foot suddenly leaves the gas, dry themselves in wet weather when your wipers are on, and actively work to reduce erratic driving.
The real key to driver safety? Avoiding accidents altogether. That's why a MINI's world-famous handling and numerous Active Safety features help you steer clear of hazards. And in the rare chance an accident is unavoidable? Your MINI's predictive brakes, protective frame, airbag system and more are already prepared.

Up to 8 front, side-impact, ceiling-mounted, side-curtain and knee airbags monitor collision severity to adjust inflation rates and help protect you and your passengers with as much force as needed. In extreme cases, they’ll stay inflated longer to keep you safe from shattered glass.
