The MINI Cooper lineup has expanded and grown in size over the years. The current 5 Door model stands nearly four metres long, or 24 cm longer than the 3 Door model, so it’s not exactly “mini.” Engine selection includes a turbocharged 1.5-litre triple-cylinder engine (134 horsepower) and a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine (189 horsepower). There is no John Cooper Works trim. Watch out: a new generation is coming for 2025.
