Which is the most popular engine in the MINI Hatch?

The petrol engines remain the most popular among used Hatch models. The popularity of petrol motors may be because they are offered most frequently, especially since diesel motors were discontinued in 2018.

Which are the most popular model variants?

The newest lineup includes the Cooper, Cooper S and John Cooper Works, while the Classic, Sport and Exclusive were also available in older lineups. The Cooper has been the most popular with its lower starting price and well-equipped cabin with Bluetooth connectivity, air conditioning and a leather steering wheel as standard.

What optional extras should I look out for?

If you need to transport more luggage for a holiday you may be interested in the roof rails. Additional safety equipment is an optional extra, including park assist with front parking sensors and a rear-view camera.

Is the MINI Hatch a good family car?

The MINI Hatch isn't generally described as a family car, but it could be, especially the five-door model with the rear doors.

Is there a hybrid version of the MINI Hatch?

A PHEV variant of the MINI Hatch is available for a limited time which uses a 1.5-litre petrol engine. This model can be difficult to find among used cars, but MINI has since released an all-electric model that has become more popular.

Is the MINI Hatch available as an automatic?

There's an automatic transmission option among used cars and it's relatively popular. However, there are far more Hatch models equipped with a manual gearbox.

Is there a four-wheel drive version available?

All MINI Hatch models were designed with front-wheel drive, which is typical of a supermini.

Used MINI Hatch buying guide

Engines and transmissions

While the MINI Hatch has been available with petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric powertrains paired with a manual or an automatic gearbox, it has only been offered with front-wheel drive.

Electric

Newest electric MINI offers a driving range of up to 249 miles per charge and generates 184bhp
75kW DC charging from 10% to 80% only takes 28 minutes

Petrol

Cooper includes a 134bhp 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine that takes it to 62mph in 8.1 seconds with the best efficiency of the newest models at up to 51.4mpg
Cooper S models increase the output to 175bhp and have a fuel economy of up to 48.7mpg with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, while the John Cooper Works increases the fuel economy up to 227bhp and 42.8mpg
Discontinued entry-level models had a 1.5-litre three-cylinder motor that produced 100bhp and 58mpg

Diesel

Diesel options were discontinued in 2018. These included a 114bhp or 189bhp 1.5-litre with up to 72mpg, model variant dependant
There was also a 2.0-litre that generated 167bhp and 70mpg

Practicality

The MINI Hatch is great for driving in congested city spaces because of its smaller footprint, and the interior room is as practical as possible for its size.

Interior space

Front seats accommodate tall adults and offer plenty of adjustments
Passengers have more space in the rear seat of the five-door model, but children can fit in either body style
Two rear ISOFIX points for installing a child seat

Boot space

278-litre boot available in five-door and 211-litre in three-door
Folding rear seat gives way to 941 litres of space
Available storage pack offers an adjustable boot floor and a 12-volt socket

Bodystyles

Three-door Hatch has the sportiest look of the two
Five-door Hatch offers more interior space and easier access to the back seat

Safety

Expired 2014 Euro NCAP rating was four stars
Adult occupant rating is 79%, with child occupant close behind at 73%
Standard kit includes rear parking sensors and keyless entry

Technology

8.8-inch touchscreen display stands out in the cabin
Wireless Apple CarPlay is easy to use for fast connections
DAB digital radio and Bluetooth connectivity come in all newer models

Different generations of used MINI Hatch

Building on the original MINI design from the 1960s, the Hatch was first introduced in 1997. Its retro styling hadn't changed much from the original design and it had just enough room to hold four people. Now, the famous model (also known as the MINI Cooper) is in its fourth generation, bringing modern styling and upgraded technology to the classic shape.

Fourth Generation (2023-present)

The goal of the fourth generation was to create more efficiency and excitement with upgraded powertrains, but the styling was also refreshed. LED lights were added to the front of the car and the interior received a minimalistic design without giving up any of the premium features it was known for.

The MINI Cooper SE was electrified and was also given some updates. While this model only came in the three-door design, it did gain flush door handles that gave it a flowing style, and the tilted tailgate received a roof spoiler.

Third Generation (2020 to 2024)

With the help of BMW, the Hatch had grown slightly, creating more interior space. It was also the first time the five-door Hatch hit the roads, making it more family-friendly, though the company didn't discontinue the sporty three-door model.

In 2018, a mild update was released with an air scoop on sportier versions for improved cooling. There were also some new tech features, including a revised powertrain list.

Fuel type:: Full Electric / Petrol
Engine Size:: 1.5
MPG:: 49
Acceleration:: 7.3 - 8.4 seconds
Boot space:: 211 - 278 L capacity
NCAP Safety rating:: 4 / 5 stars

Second Generation (2006 to 2013)

With nearly the same design as the first generation, the second-generation Hatch didn't look very different when it was released in 2006, except for the upgraded headlight design. Its black pillars also helped to give it the impression that the roof was floating. Yet there was almost nothing different inside the cabin.

Powertrain options were built in partnership between Peugeot and BMW, replacing what was previously supplied by Chrysler. There were also new transmission options, allowing for some flexibility.

Fuel type:: Diesel / Petrol
Engine Size:: 1.4 - 2
MPG:: 37 - 74
Acceleration:: 6.3 - 13.2 seconds
Boot space:: 160 L capacity
