Overview

The 2017 Mini Hardtop 2 Door Hatchback is a subcompact hatchback offered in a single trim, starting off at a base MSRP $20,950. For that price, it mainly competes with the Fiat 500 and indirectly with the Honda Fit and the Chevrolet Spark. With a standalone trim, the Mini Hardtop 2 Door offers a single powertrain. It is a 1.5L Inline-3 engine making 134 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. Transmission duties are carried out by a 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 6-speed automatic transmission. The Mini Hardtop 2 Door reaches 60 mph from zero in 7.4 seconds and can manage a combined fuel economy of 32 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 12 striking colors the Mini Hardtop 2 Door comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

With a standalone trim, the choice for customers lies with the optional packages and equipment. For optional rearview camera, rear parking sensors, a navigation system, and an 8.8-inch display screen, we recommend the Technology package which costs an extra $2,000.
