All-New 2014 Mini Hatch Priced from $19,950* in the USA

Not only does the third generation of Mini developed under the BMW Group’s ownership keep a similar appearance to its predecessor, but it also retains a similar pricing strategy in the States, as we found out today.

The base Cooper version of the all-new 2014 Mini hatch starts at $19,950 or $250 more than the outgoing model, while the more potent Cooper S from $23,600, an increase of $300 over the 2013MY, with both prices excluding a $795 destination and handling charge (*).

“The product team worked diligently to sustain a minimal price increase over the previous model while adding a number of new technologies and features”, commented Patrick McKenna, Head of MINI Product Planning and Events. “People will be amazed at the interior quality of this car combined with legendary MINI go kart handling and all-new BMW Group engines.”

Speaking of engines, the entry-level 2014 Mini Cooper gains a brand new 134HP (136PS) 1.5-liter three-cylinder mill, and the Cooper S, an also new 189HP (192PS) 2.0-liter 4-cylinder unit. Both powerplants are linked to a standard six-speed manual with a six-speed auto offered optionally.

The new model is 3.85 inches (98mm) longer, 1.73 inches (44m) wider and 0.27 inches (7mm) taller than the second generation Mini hatch, while also riding on a 1.10-inch (28mm) longer wheelbase and wider tracks.
