Overview
The 2013 Mini Cooper Coupe Hatchback is a subcompact hatchback offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $21,450. For that price, it mainly competes with the Volkswagen Beetle Hatchback and the Fiat 500 Hatchback. Meanwhile, the Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback is also a potential rival which has four doors whereas the rest has only two. Between 2 trims, the Cooper Coupe offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 1.6L inline-4 capable of making 121 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 181 horsepower-making 1.6L Turbo Inline-4 engine. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed manual transmission by default but a 6-speed automatic transmission is available as well. The Cooper Coupe reaches 60 mph from zero in 8.3 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.5 seconds with the 1.6L Turbo Inline-4 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Cooper Coupe can manage a combined fuel economy between 29 and 32 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 11 striking colors the Cooper Coupe comes in really pull you towards itself.
