Overview

Written by automotive expert Travis Langness

2/11/2020

Aside from the lack of a high-performance John Cooper Works trim level, the four-door Mini Hardtop is exactly what you'd expect it to be. It's a Mini that's a bit larger than the standard model, with a rear seat that can easily fit your kids or squeeze in a couple of adults. Passenger space and cargo space are improved, but you still get all the same fun and throwback styling you expect from Mini.

It's not all a winning formula for the Hardtop 4 Door, though. The two-door model has a limited list of rivals, but the 4 Door goes up against tough competition. The larger Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra GT, Mazda 3 and Volkswagen GTI all offer much more practicality for the price. The Mini Cooper 4 Door is downright expensive for its class, especially in top trim levels. And while the four-door Mini is a bit more comfortable on the highway than its two-door counterpart, it's still rough over broken roads, especially with larger optional wheels.

Despite those drawbacks, the Cooper 4 Door is a likable car. It's fun to drive and good to look at, and it has an upscale interior. In a competitive class of small, peppy hatchbacks, it's a strong pick.

2020 MINI Hardtop 4 Door trim level differences

The 2020 Mini Cooper Hardtop 4 Door is available with two engines and in three trim levels. The Cooper is powered by a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine (134 horsepower, 162 lb-ft of torque), and the Cooper S has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (189 hp, 207 lb-ft). Compare the 2020 MINI Hardtop 4 Door trim levels in-depth.

Which Hardtop 4 Door trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Mini Cooper's standard 1.5-liter engine is efficient but relatively peppy, and that's the engine we'd go with. Separate from the engine, you get your choice of trim level, and we recommend the midlevel Signature. It comes standard with extras such as heated seats, a panoramic sunroof, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
