Long respected as one of the most reliable brands on the market, MINI make a lineup of compact, and sporty cars. If you’re in the market for a 2024 MINI Hardtop 4 Door, you may be asking: what differentiates the Cooper from the Cooper S?  Here’s our buyer’s guide to help you pick the perfect zippy hatchback for you.

Trim Levels of the 2024 MINI Hardtop 4 Door: A Closer Look

The 2024 Cooper Hardtop 4 Door 

The entry-level Cooper trim of the Hardtop 4 Door has plenty of standard features to make any driver grin. It comes in at an ultra-compact 158.8 inches long, making it perfect for nestling into petite parking spots that other cars can’t even hope to squeeze into. The 1.5-liter TwinPower Turbo motor generates 134 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, allowing a zippy zero-to-sixty time of just 7.9 seconds thanks to its low curb weight of just 2,846 pounds.

An automatic transmission is available for drivers who prefer the simplicity of letting their MINI do the work. But for those who crave the connection offered by a manual transmission, the Hardtop 4 Door is available with a six-speed manual transmission that lets you row the gears to your heart’s content.

The Ride Inside

The interior has an average of 36.9 inches of legroom in each row and almost 40 inches of headroom making for a comfortable ride for up to 5 adults, with an additional 13.1 cubic feet of trunk volume for luggage. The center console is dominated by an 8.8-inch circular infotainment touchscreen, while the driver can enjoy a Dynamic Digital Instrument Cluster for easy information consumption. The sport steering wheel is draped in leather, offering a premium feel.

The 2024 Cooper S Hardtop 4 Door

The difference between the Cooper and the Cooper S trims is the motor beneath the bonnet. The 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo offers a fourth cylinder compared to its sibling’s three, and ups the power significantly. Making 189 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of torque, the Cooper S shaves its 0-60 time down to just 6.6 seconds for an even more thrilling drive.

Whether the Cooper calls to you or you crave the zesty acceleration of the Cooper S, one thing is true: the MINI 4 Door begs to be driven. Test drive one today at MINI of Morristown in Morristown, NJ
