2013 MINI Cooper Review, Specs, Photo

2013 MINI Cooper Review, Specs, Photo. - Now, MINI is working on a whole new range of models, each based off a brand new front wheel drive platform being developed together with parent company BMW, which will use it for its own range of entry level hatchbacks due in the coming years.

We’ve reported several times before on the new front wheel drive BMWs but these latest images reveal some never before seen details for the new MINI Cooper, which is expected to be revealed next year as a 2014 model. For 2013, Bluetooth is now standard on all Mini Coopers, while satellite radio is now an option instead of standard equipment. A USB/iPod adapter is now standard, and John Cooper Works models are now available with an automatic transmission.

Price :
Price Range: $19,700 - $35,700

Interior :
The big eyed front end, the short nose, the low hood, and the classy wrap-around beltline, with blacked out pillars and a 'floating' roof, are all distinctive design elements that make this modern MINI a standout. Inside, the quirky, occasionally funky design is undeniably racy, and while its retro rocker switches feel somewhat at the expense of practicality (so might the somewhat gimmicky, plate size speedometer in the middle of the dash), and there's an element of busyness in the details, it's a cohesive look, and the color options introduced last year spruced it up.

Exterior :
MINI Coupe models (and the MINI Roadster) have essentially the same packaging from the front seats ahead, but with their lower roofline (MINI proudly calls the roof a 'helmet') there's less usable headroom, there's no rear seat in these models either just a small cargo shelf. MINI Clubman models, on the other hand, offer a bit more headroom in back, making a somewhat more spacious four seater, with a funky center opening, side hinged hatch arrangement.

Performance and Engine :
The 2013 Mini Cooper comes with a 1.6 liter four cylinder engine good for 121 horsepower and 114 pound feet of torque. A six speed manual with hill start assist is standard, and a six speed automatic is optional. Mini estimates a manual equipped hatchback will go from zero to 60 mph in 8.3 seconds (9.5 seconds with the automatic). EPA estimated fuel economy is 29 mpg city/37 mpg highway and 32 mpg combined with the manual (27/35/31 convertible) and 28/36/31 with the automatic.
