If you’re gunning for a 4-door Mini, it’s now been updated to match the 2-door hatch.
After debuting the brand-new version of its iconic hatchback, including a purely electric version, Mini is now taking their new styling cues to the Mini Cooper 4-door. “Athletic, practical and versatile”, Mini proclaims, the expanded model is just over six inches longer than its more popular 2-door counterpart, and pretty much identical to the outgoing model.
Fundamentally, the 2025 Mini Cooper 4-door makes the same pitch as ever and is targeting the same demographic. The front end gets a few noteworthy tweaks, from the mildly reshaped front fascia to the more angular taillights.
Like the 2-door (and unlike the EV), the gas-powered 4-door has conventional door handles as well as black cladding along the entire lower edge of the body, although the fenders aren’t flared like they were on the old car.
The key changes with the 2025 Mini lineup are on the inside. Most notably, the 9.4-inch circular OLED display, while buyers also get a standard head-up display. Mini mainly changes up the interior appointments through its “Styles”, which swap thins like the steering wheel trim, dashboard fabric and faux-leather versus cloth seats.
Under the hood, the 2025 Mini Cooper 4-door hatch gets updated versions of two familiar engines. The base Cooper models get a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine with 156 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. The Cooper S, on the other hand, gets a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (also turbocharged, of course) putting out 201 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque (up 22 hp and 12 hp, respectively). While you probably expect an all-electric version, Mini didn’t mention one in its Wednesday statement, so as of this exact moment, it doesn’t appear to be in the cards.
All variants of the Mini Cooper 4-door use a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission — no manual option is available.
Pricing for the 2025 Mini Cooper S 4-door kicks off in July, with a base price of $34,195 including destination fees. The first examples of that model should arrive at dealers in early September. Beyond that, the entry-level Mini Cooper won’t go into production until November, with the first deliveries set for January 2025. Mini also says there is a mid-range Mini Cooper C coming, though we don’t have exact pricing or performance figures on that model or the base Cooper. Those details will arrive closer to their respective market launches later this year.
