Description

This MINI Coupe delivers a lively and engaging drive thanks to its peppy 1.6 petrol engine and responsive manual gearbox. The sharp steering and compact dimensions make it nimble through town and surprisingly composed on faster roads, while the sport-oriented setup gives a fun, connected feel behind the wheel.

Practical for its size, the Coupe balances economy and usability with good fuel figures and a useable 280-litre boot. The cabin feels purposeful and well-equipped, offering comfortable front seats and sensible storage, making it a great choice for someone wanting a stylish, efficient and entertaining small car.
