MINI Cooper S 2024

MINI India launched the new-gen MINI Cooper 3-Door in July 2024. While globally the car is offered in both 3- and 5-door body styles, offered in both petrol and all-electric choices. For now, Mini India will offer the 3-Door hatchback solely in the petrol-powered hot Cooper S-spec with the model imported to India as a CBU. At the moment, the 2024 MINI Cooper comes is sold in India as a completely built unit (CBU) model.

Visually, the new MINI Cooper S 3-Door features an evolutionary design, retaining the iconic profile of its predecessors but now with softer body lines. In terms of dimensions, the premium hatch measures 3876 mm in length, 1727 mm in width, 1414 mm in height, and it comes with a 2495 mm wheelbase.

In term of features you get, new round headlamps with all LED lighting, a redesigned octagonal grille, and a redesigned tailgate replete with new triangular brake lights with the Union Jack light signature. MINI offers a set of 17-inch light alloy wheels. The car is offered in four colour options – Midnight Black, Nanuq White, Rooftop Grey, and Zesty Yellow. And you can get the car in single tone or dual-tone option with either black or white colours for the mirrors and roof.

The changes to the cabin are also extensive with Mini focusing on a minimalist theme inspired by the original Cooper hatchbacks. A large circular central display sits atop the centre console housing both the instrument cluster and central touchscreen and is the nerve centre for almost all in-car functions. A set of toggle switches sit below the central touchscreen and provide access to features such as the engine start and the drive modes.

Under the hood, the new MINI Cooper S comes with a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine under the hood good for 201 bhp and 300 Nm of torque – an increase of 26 bhp and 20 Nm over its predecessor. Power is sent to the front wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox as standard with Mini claiming a 0-100 kmph sprint time of 6.6 seconds.
