History/Overview
The Mini Cooper five-door is a more practical interpretation of Mini's entry-level model. Based on the three-door variant, it adds a pair of rear passenger doors and gets a longer wheelbase for extra rear-seat space. Mini added the Cooper five-door to the range in 2015.
What's New / Key Changes from Last Year
For 2020, the only change to the Mini Cooper five-door is the loss of its six-speed manual transmission.
Available Trims
The now-standard automatic is transmission is a seven-speed dual-clutch unit. In the base Cooper, it's matched with a 1.5L turbo three-cylinder engine, and a 2.0L turbo four-cylinder in the Cooper S.
Standard Features
The base Mini Cooper five-door's exterior is fitted with heated side mirrors and windshield washers, rear parking sensors, automatic headlights, a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, rain-sensing wipers, run-flat tires, and 16-inch alloy wheels.
Inside, there's a six-speaker stereo with a 6.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, Bluetooth, satellite radio, six-way manual front seat adjustments, power windows/door locks/mirrors, air conditioning, tilt-and-telescopic steering, and push-button engine start.
Cooper S adds sport seats.
Key Options
