Overview
The 2013 Mini Cooper Paceman Hatchback is a subcompact hatchback offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $23,200. For that price, it mainly competes with the Volkswagen Beetle Hatchback and the Fiat 500 Hatchback. Meanwhile, the Nissan Juke Hatchback is also a potential rival which has four doors whereas the rest has only two. Between 2 trims, the Cooper Paceman 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 Paceman reaches 60 mph from zero in 9.7 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.9 seconds with the 1.6L Turbo Inline-4 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Cooper Paceman can manage a combined fuel economy between 29 and 30 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the Cooper Paceman comes in really pull you towards itself.
