2014 MINI Paceman: What's New

Vehicle Overview

The four-seat Mini Paceman represents the seventh body style in Mini’s quickly multiplying lineup. It shares its underpinnings and wheelbase with the four-door Countryman; like the Countryman it also has available all-wheel drive.

The Paceman comes in Cooper Paceman or Cooper S Paceman variants, signaling a normally aspirated or turbocharged four-cylinder. Manual or automatic transmissions come with either car, but the Cooper S Paceman is the only one with optional all-wheel drive.

New for 2014
Heated mirrors and washer jets are now standard. The unusual Center Rail sliding-console system has been replaced by standard dual cupholders for the backseat with a 12-volt power outlet and iPod holder. The Comfort suspension is now standard with the Sport suspension as a no-charge option.

A newly available City Package includes an alarm system, power-folding side mirrors, heated mirrors and washer jets, auto-dimming rearview and side mirrors, rear parking sensors and a proximity key. Also available for 2014 are interior and exterior John Cooper Works packages that add the sportier styling features of John Cooper Works models, but not their performance upgrades.
