2023 MINI Hardtop 4 Door Trims Comparison

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 are front-wheel-drive and come with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. (Production of manual-transmission models has been halted.)

Note: Mini has temporarily discontinued the base trim, the Classic, due to supply chain issues. No timeline had been given regarding its return at the time of this review. We've included the listing of the Classic trim (based on the 2022 car) for reference purposes, should it be resurrected from the supply-chain ashes.
