Overview

The 2017 Mini Hardtop 4 Door Hatchback is a subcompact hatchback offered in a single trim, starting off at a base MSRP of $21,950. For that price, it indirectly competes with the compact hatchback options such as the Mazda 3 Hatchback, the Ford Focus Hatchback, and the Honda Civic Hatchback. With a standalone trim, the Mini Hardtop 4 Door offers a single powertrain. The base engine is a 1.5L turbocharged Inline-3 capable of making 134 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. Transmission duties are carried out by a 6-speed manual transmission as standard with a 6-speed automatic transmission as optional. The Hardtop 4 Door reaches 60 mph from zero in 7.5 seconds and can manage a combined fuel economy of 32 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 12 striking colors the Hardtop 4 Door comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The Hardtop 4 Door offers an impressive turbocharged three-cylinder engine. So the only available Cooper trim would suffice the needs of most shoppers.
