2023 MINI Hardtop 4 Door

This is MINI's four-door hatchback, the practical take on the classic Cooper that still fits in tight city parking spots. It keeps the brand's go-kart feel with quick steering and a firm, controlled ride that makes back roads fun. The cabin feels premium with big round dials and quality materials, and the extra doors make back-seat access genuinely easier. Cargo space is still modest, so it's best for singles or couples without a lot of gear to haul. This is the Cooper S, the one you pick if you want the extra punch over the base Cooper without going all the way to the John Cooper Works. Its 2.0L I4 makes 189 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of torque, routed through a seven-speed automatic to the front wheels, and it'll return 31 mpg combined. The optional Dynamic Damper Control lets you firm up the suspension for cornering or soften it for daily driving, which is a rare trick in this class.
