The Cooper is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine (134 horsepower, 162 lb-ft of torque), while the Cooper S gets a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (189 hp, 206 lb-ft). Both models come standard with a six-speed manual transmission, though a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is available. The John Cooper Works upgrades the 2.0-liter engine (228 hp, 235 lb-ft) and equips the car with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
