Overview
The 2014 Mini Cooper Paceman Hatchback is a subcompact hatchback offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $23,300. For that price, it mainly competes with the Volkswagen Beetle Hatchback and the Fiat 500 Hatchback. 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 turbocharged version of the same engine offered in the S trim. Both engines offer a choice between two transmissions - a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic. The Cooper Paceman reaches 60 mph from zero in 9.7 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 7.2 seconds with the turbocharged engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Cooper Paceman can manage a combined fuel economy between 29 and 31 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 9 striking colors the Cooper Paceman comes in really pull you towards itself.
