2025 Mini Cooper 5 Door
Mini unleashed its latest offering the 2025 Mini Cooper 5 Door. Notable changes were done to the old Mini Cooper 5 Door model. For now, it only comes in combustion engines, but it's noted that an EV production is on the way.
According to AutoExpress, the recently launched MINI Cooper 5-Door presents a marginally more versatile option compared to its traditional three-door counterpart. Notably, this model exclusively runs on petrol.
Distinguishing itself from the standard MINI Cooper, the 5-Door boasts increased dimensions with a longer body by 172mm, subtle width expansion, and a lengthened wheelbase of 72mm to comfortably seat five occupants.
MINI asserts that the rear seating area offers enhanced width, ensuring a comfortable space for up to three passengers. Beyond the added doors, the simplistic aesthetic of the standard MINI Cooper is maintained in the 5-Door model.
Featuring charming circular LED headlights at the front, complemented by MINI's contemporary octagonal grille and a compact, subtly contoured bonnet. Moving to the rear, customizable tail-light clusters are linked via a black strip emblazoned with 'Cooper' insignia.
The iconic triangular taillights are a consistent feature at the rear, maintaining the signature design element of the 3 Door model, alongside the preservation of its characteristic short overhangs.
Within the MINI driving experience, users are presented with a selection of seven distinct 'MINI Experience Modes' to tailor their driving encounters. These modes, such as Core, Green, and Go-Kart, offer alternatives to the typical normal, Eco, and Sport modes.
This comes alongside personalized options like Personal, Vibrant, Timeless, and Balance settings. Each mode is designed around a specific theme that influences the OLED display aesthetics and alters the dashboard's projected graphics.

Complementing its playful aesthetics, the 5-door hatchback presents a color palette consisting of 11 body hues and 3 roof color choices. Transitioning into the interior of the new Cooper 5-Door, one encounters MINI's latest design ethos.
A focal point within is the striking 9.4-inch circular OLED touchscreen head unit, operating on the cutting-edge MINI Operating System 9 and featuring the advanced "Hey MINI" voice assistant functionality.
Two Petrol Engines
The MINI Cooper 5 Door, as highlighted by Motoring Chronicle, stands out for embodying the renowned driving enjoyment associated with the brand, along with offering increased space and notable functionality.
These attributes collectively position the five-seater as a standout contender in its market segment. Its distinctiveness is further accentuated by a design that harmoniously merges traditional elements with modern, minimalist aesthetics, complemented by advanced assistance features aimed at enhancing the overall driving experience.
Two efficient petrol engine options are available for the MINI Cooper 5 Door, designed to work in harmony with the contemporary chassis and responsive steering to provide the distinctive go-kart sensation synonymous with MINI driving experiences.
The three-cylinder petrol engine found in the MINI Cooper 5 Door C produces 115 kW/156 hp, while the MINI Cooper 5 Door S is equipped with a four-cylinder petrol engine delivering 150 kW/204 hp.
The characteristic MINI steering system, paired with robust brakes, not only elevates the driving pleasure but also enhances safety and comfort levels for an all-encompassing driving experience.
