Mini Cooper (2024) Price & Specs

Turbopetrol-powered variants of the 2024 Mini Cooper 3-door hatchback have quietly arrived in South Africa. Here’s how much you can expect to pay for the newcomers.

Codenamed F66, the 2024 Mini Cooper 3-door has quietly arrived in South Africa, with the first units already in dealerships. Like their predecessors, ICE versions of the Cooper are produced in Oxford.

Visually, the 2024 Mini Cooper has a minimalist look and while it’s polarising, there’s no denying this is any brand other than Mini. The new-look rear taillights are interesting as they’re full LED units.

The 2024 Mini Cooper is available with either a 1.5-litre 3-cylinder- or a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbopetrol.

Badged as the Cooper C, the base model’s 1.5-litre engine produces peak outputs of 115 kW and 230 Nm of torque and that’s enough to see it dash from zero to 100 kph in 7.7 sec. The punchier Cooper S’ 2.0-litre motor develops 150 kW and 300 Nm and the variant is said to scamper to 100 kph in 6.6 sec.

The Cooper C is the more efficient of the two, with claims of 6.2–5.9 L/100 km, while the Cooper S consumes 6.4–6.1 L/100 km. The 6-speed manual gearbox has been ditched in favour of convenience – both variants make use of a 7-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission.

Inside, the cabin has been given a minimalist design and there’s a focus on new materials. The central circular infotainment system features the new Mini Operating System 9 and we’ve already had a first taste from our Munich visit back in September 2023.

It’s sensational, both in terms of usability and visual appeal. You’ll also notice there’s no gear selector –instead, you’ll select your gear via a neat and discreet drive selector integrated into the dashboard.
