The overview

The redesigned Mini Cooper is immediately recognizable and retains its charm, agility, and fun-to-drive nature, But alas, a manual transmission is no longer available. You can choose between two-door, four-door, and convertible body styles, and all are available in standard, sportier S, and ultra-sporty John Cooper Works versions. The 201-hp, 2.0-liter turbo-four in the two-door Cooper S we tested makes punchy power and sounds sporty. The standard seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission shifts quickly but causes uneven power delivery at low speeds. Fuel economy is commendable at 33 mpg overall. Handling is super agile, but the ride is stiff and choppy. The redesign brings a minimalist cabin but is still adorned with whimsical details and has a premium vibe. The large, circular center screen acts as the infotainment and climate functions interface, and is augmented by a head-up display--vital, due to the lack of a separate driver's instrument screen. BSW, RCTW, and adaptive cruise control are optional.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
