While global automakers seem to be putting their newest EVs front and center, British brand Mini opted to launch the gas-powered versions of its iconic Mini Cooper first for 2025. Mini says it’s committed to the “Power of Choice” so its customers can choose the powertrain that suits them best.
2025 MINI Cooper
- New looks inside and out, including a fresh steering wheel and new horizontal LED daytime running lights with three selectable light signatures
- Slightly more cargo room
- Kicks off the fourth generation of Mini Hardtop for 2025
Overseas, the two models will come with a choice of three- or four-cylinder engines. U.S. customers interested in the 2025 Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S will be offered a single power option: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Mini announced that the S variant will be good for 201 hp and 221 ft-lb of torque and says the diminutive car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds. The brand will release details about the power specs of the standard Cooper closer to its launch later this year.
Notably, the 2025 Mini and Mini Cooper S will be equipped with automatic transmissions only. A spokesperson confirmed the manufacturer won’t offer a manual transmission option, which may be a disappointment to those who like to choose their own gears.
The 65-year-old company also made some interior improvements to the Mini Cooper and Cooper S. A new steering wheel fits into the minimalist aesthetic, enhanced by a panoramic glass roof. Plus, it’s a little roomier this time; cargo space expands from 8.9 cubic feet behind the seats (up from 8.7 cubic feet in the previous model) to 34.4 cubic feet when the rear seat is folded in a 60/40 split.
When Mini redesigned the grille for 2025, it added new horizontal LED daytime running lights with three selectable light signatures that feature welcome and goodbye animation. Twelve sensors are placed around the car for driver assist functionality.
The Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S includes a unique round 9.4-inch central infotainment screen and a small selection of physical buttons.
The U.S. version of the sportier Mini Cooper S comes first, starting production in March 2024, with a starting price of $33,195. In July, the Mini Cooper will begin production with a base price of $29,945.
The Mini continues to offer a consistent look and feel that's perenially fun in both gas-powered and all-electric versions.
