Mini hatchbacks have been the bread and butter of the automaker for decades. It is the perfect body style for the quirky styling that is synonymous with the brand, and its small size makes for a very entertaining and engaging driving experience, even if there are some drawbacks in terms of space and utility. And, with the move to electrification, you can now even have you Mini hatch as an EV.
This is a list of the Mini Cooper hatchback models currently for sale in the USA:
Model | Power | Engine | Base Price |
---|---|---|---|
Mini Cooper Electric Hardtop | 181 hp | Electric | $29,900 |
Mini Cooper Hardtop | 134 hp | 1.5L Turbo Inline-3 Gas | $23,400 |

Mini John Cooper Works Hardtop | 228 hp | 2.0L Turbo Inline-4 Gas | $32,900 |
The US may be over the hatchback in general, but those from Mini are an exception since they don’t try to be frugal or practical alternatives to sedans but rather funky little spitfires for driving pleasure. However, this laser focus does come at a cost to other more traditional hatchbacks. So how do Minis stack up against the competition?
