Mini has always offered an excellent driving experience in a small package, and the 2022 Mini Hardtop 4-door is no exception. There's a choice of engines and numerous trims to choose from, so there's sure to be the right mini out there for you. Read on for our guide to the four-door Mini and see if it's right for you. Overview The Mini has undergone some serious visual upgrades for the 2022 model year. The restyled front and rear ends help to give the car a modern look, while LED headlights are now standard across all models. There are also new colors available, which include the new Multitone roof which featured a range of color gradients. In addition, the interior has been updated with digital instrument panels, a larger touchscreen and a satellite radio. Powertrain and Performance There are two engine options available for the Mini four-door. The entry-level Cooper has a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine that can produce up to 136hp and 162lb-ft of torque, while the higher-end Cooper S gets a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4. Available for both trims is a choice of a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic or a six-speed manual. Both transmissions power the front wheels. It's fast too; models with the more powerful engine can make 0-60 in just 6.5 seconds. The Mini boasts excellent fuel economy across the board: with an automatic transmission both the Cooper and the Cooper S can boast an EPA rating of up to 38mpg on the highway and 28mpg in the city. The figures for the manual transmissions are also impressive, with combined mpg ratings of 31 and 27 respectively. Interior and Cargo Space The Mini manages to cram lots of space for both cargo and passengers into its trademark small frame, with enough legroom for adults to sit in the rear seats comfortably. Folding down the rear seats gives even more space for cargo. The interior décor is comfortable, with a leather-wrapped steering wheel as standard, and comfortable seating with plenty of storage space in the doors and center console. Technology The Mini now has a standard 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment display, which sits in a unique rounded center console. Available Apple CarPlay can connect your devices with ease, and in-dash navigation, the Sirius XM satellite radio system and wireless phone charging are all also available as optional extras.

What's New in 2022 The significant update this year is the restyling of the exterior. The front bumper fog lights have been removed and put into each headlight assembly, and the safety bar across the grille is no longer black but body-colored. The chrome trim along the door handles, tailpipes, and badges is now a glossy black, which is in stark contrast to the two new colors that have been introduced, Rooftop Grey and Island Blue. If you really want to stand out from the crowd, you can opt for a contrasting roof color. Roof colors now include blue, yellow, grey, white, and black. On the inside of the car, 8.8-inch infotainment screens are now standard, and each model is equipped with a satellite radio. You can now add Apple CarPlay, a heated steering wheel, and ambient lighting as optional extras. Trim Levels There are three trim levels on the new Hardtop, with a few standard features for all models. All three models are fitted with a 6.5-inch touchscreen, but you can choose to replace that with an 8.8-inch touchscreen with a Touchscreen Navigation Package, and the more luxurious Premium Package. All models also have a rear camera and parking sensors, and the choice to add the Driver's Assistance package for some extra support and guidance on the road. MINI Cooper John Cooper Works The John Cooper Works is fitted with a standard 4WD 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder, 6-speed manual powertrain but offers an available 8-speed Sport Automatic if you require something with a little more oomph. 17-inch alloy wheels come standard with an option to increase to 18-inch tires for an extra cost. MINI Cooper S The standard engine in the S trim is also a 4WD 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder, 6-speed manual powertrain. However, there is an available 7-speed DCT for better fuel efficiency and smoother, quicker gear changes. 16-inch alloy wheels are standard with the option to fit 17-inch or 18-inch alloys instead. MINI Cooper The Mini Cooper comes standard with a 4WD 1.5L TwinPower Turbo 3-cylinder, 6-speed manual engine but also has the option of the greener 7-speed DCT. 15-inch wheels are standard but can be upgraded to 16- or 17-inch alloys.
