2024 Mini Cooper pricing and features: Electric & petrol models detailed

The Cooper S and Cooper C variants will serve as the swansong for the petrol-powered hatch before the iconic little car makes room for its electric future.

To align itself with the styling of the electric Cooper E, the exterior design has been tweaked accordingly to include the eight-sided grille and the usual rounded, spherical headlamps, along with the triangular tail lights recently seen on the Mini Cooper SE.

The 115kW/230Nm three-cylinder turbo petrol Cooper C claims a combined fuel consumption figure of 5.9 litres per 100 kilometres.

The more performance-focused Cooper S calls on its four-cylinder turbo petrol engine to provide 150kW/300Nm, up from the 141kW of the previous Cooper S.

Fuel economy for the Cooper S is claimed at 6.1L/100km, which is an improvement over the outgoing model's 6.5L/100km. Not bad, considering the Cooper S will accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 6.6 seconds – over a second quicker than the Cooper C's 7.7 seconds.

Assuming a 44-litre fuel tank, the Mini would achieve around 700 kilometres on a full tank, compared with the claimed 400km range of the Cooper E.
