New Mini, New Models, New Engines, New Look

The problem with a Mini is, the shape is the car and the car is the shape. It is probably the reason the hatch is still the model most shoppers snap up. The huge (by Mini terms) Countryman is next.

“Cooper” was a tern used in the classic Mini models for the go-quick versions. Cooper continues to live on. Model designations are now Mini Cooper C and Mini Cooper S

Mini is bringing the new Coopers in with 150kw 4cylinder and 115kw 3cylinder petrol engines, and of course electric options.

ABOVE: 2024 Mini Cooper

The exterior looks barely changed, but a close look reveals a stronger 8-sided grille, fancy headlights, and a brand new tail light design. It is more triangular than rectangular, but still carries the Union Jack influence from the previous model.

The cabin has fancy ambient lighting systems, and a the familiar central OLED information display. Cabin design has a rock-solid look while keeping a minimalist feel. The veneer is laid over technology as expected from a BMW Group brand.

The wireless charging, retro controls, and “Hey Mini” assistant make the minimal interior function without being festooned with clutter.

The centre screen displays driving data at the top, and other information such as navigation and entertainment is in the lower section. While some might prefer a driver instrument panel, the centre speedo is as seen in the original version so popular with the 60’s “it” set.

Mini has included standard safety and driver aids, and you can use your phone as a digital key.

Finally, the schemes are a combination of roof, body, and interior colours to create: Essential, Classic, Favoured and JCW trim. Wheels are 16” or 18”.

More information will come closer to the launch dates.

Mini moved 4,289 cars in 2023, up from 3,002 the previous year. While the numbers are bijou, the trajectory seem to be indicating that more buyers are saying, “Hey Mini.”
