It’s Raining Manuals 

Mini is bringing back manual transmissions to four of its Cooper variants for the 2024 model year. The Convertible, S Convertible, Hardtop 4-Door and S Hardtop 4-Door now come standard with a six-speed manual transmission. Buyers can swap it out for a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, however. 

Powertrains otherwise carry over from the previous model year. The base Hardtop model comes standard with a 134-horsepower, turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine. Moving up to the Cooper S gives a 189-hp, turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder; the John Cooper Works makes 228 hp with a version of the same engine, but it has an available eight-speed automatic. The Cooper SE comes with a 181-hp electric motor and a 32.6-kilowatt-hour battery. Front-wheel drive is standard.

Trim Option Updates

To offer a lower-priced option for fans of the Hardtop, Mini is bringing back the base Classic trim. It comes in Chili Red, but buyers will have the option of a $650 upgrade to British Racing Green, Island Blue, Melting Silver III, Midnight Black II or Nanuq White.

The mid-range Signature trim level now gets standard navigation, which includes real-time traffic information. Buyers of the all-electric Cooper SE Signature can also now purchase the Upholstery Package, which adds silver checkered interior surfaces and carbon-black leather, for an extra $1,750.
