MINI vehicles are known for their signature go-kart handling and peppy performance, but they also have selectable driving modes for customized drives: Green, Mid, and Sport. Optimize how your MINI behaves with a touch of a button for maximum fuel efficiency, sporty responsiveness, or a balance of the two. Let's take a closer look at the three MINI driving modes.
Green Mode
To increase fuel efficiency, switch to the Green mode setting. It adjusts throttle mapping, transmission shift points, and climate control to prioritize fuel economy over performance. Driving feels more relaxed and saves money at the pump, making Green mode ideal for road trips and work commutes.
Mid Mode
As your MINI vehicle's default setting for everyday driving, Mid mode (also called Normal mode) balances efficiency and fun. The throttle response is snappier without being overly aggressive, and steering feels sharp and sporty. Mid mode lets you enjoy your MINI vehicle's sprightly character without significantly impacting fuel economy.
Sport Mode
Nothing beats Sport mode when you want maximum go-kart thrills. The throttle gets more responsive, the steering tightens, and the transmission holds gears longer for powerful acceleration. Sport mode makes the car feel livelier and makes it fun to toss into corners. Fuel economy takes a backseat in Sport Mode, but that's part of the joy of driving a MINI.
The ability to choose between Green, Mid, or Sport modes ensures you can always match the driving mode to your mood. To learn more about these drive modes and owning a new MINI, visit MINI of Anchorage for a test drive in the latest models.
