With several first-in-class features and all the aesthetic hallmarks of the MINI brand, the 2024 MINI Hardtop 2 Door takes the phrase “small yet powerful” to a whole new level. Here are four different trims to test-drive at your local MINI dealer.
A First Look at the 2024 MINI Hardtop 2 Door
The Cooper: The Staple of Any MINI Dealer
Across trims, drivers can expect a compact ride that does not feel too cramped. Each Hardtop 2 Door is equipped with two passenger doors and seats four in total: two in the front and two in the back. Legroom in the front is similar to that in the Hardtop 4 Door at just over 41 inches. In the back, passengers have 30 inches of legroom, and trunk volume stands at 8.7 cubic feet.
The differences between Hardtop 2 Doors begin to materialize in engine power and economy. For example, the Cooper is an extremely efficient vehicle with a fuel economy of 32 miles per gallon and 134hp.
The Cooper S: Extra Power, No Cuts to Economy
The Cooper S is aesthetically identical to the Cooper, but with 189hp, it is packaged with a little extra power. Fortunately, its oomph does not come at the expense of efficiency; like the Cooper, the Cooper S has a fuel economy of 32 miles per hour. This means that the Cooper S accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 6.4 seconds, whereas the Cooper covers this in 7.6 seconds.
Like all variants of the Hardtop 2 Door, the Cooper S is equipped with technological features such as Apple CarPlay, active driving assistance, roadside assistance, and access to the MINI app, which unlocks even more opportunities to personalize the vehicle.
The Cooper SE: The Electric Option
What sets the Cooper SE apart from the other Hardtop 2 Doors is the fact that it is an electric vehicle. It has a combined fuel economy of 110 miles per gallon, which is nearly quadruple that of its sister models. Though this feature will likely increase the vehicle’s price up-front, you may find that the electric option will save you money in the long run.
The John Cooper Works: The Ultimate Ride
When car-shopping, some drivers prioritize innovation. Others prioritize sportiness and style. For those who want the best of both worlds, they need not look further than the John Cooper Works.
With the help of its TwinPower Turbo engine, the John Cooper Works has 228hp and a top speed of 153 miles per hour. Though it takes some cuts to its fuel economy (the John Cooper Works gets 29 miles to the gallon), it can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles in just 5.9 seconds. These specifications, in tandem with is dapper Piano Black exterior, Union Jack tail lights, and multi-tone roof, make it one of the snazziest sports car on the block.
