We've Tested it! The MINI Cooper is Spacious

01-26-2023

The MINI Cooper definitely draws attention and leaves an impression with its fun and unique personalization options. The drive is also in a total league of its own. Living up to its legendary race car roots, MINI’s distinct go-kart feel, speedy performance, and tight turns will have you drumming up excuses to go for another drive. Although mainly thought of as a small subcompact car that conquers tight spaces and parks with ease, the MINI Cooper isn’t just spacious, it’s deceptively so.

SPACE FOR ANYONE AND EVERYONE.

Being the most compact line, the MINI 3 Door and Convertible holds four passengers comfortably, whereas the MINI 5 Door and Countryman can seat an entire family of five. Enjoy ample legroom in the newest MINI at 41.4 inches for both the 3 Door and 5 Door, and similar headroom at 39.9 inches for the 3 Door and 40.3 inches for the 5 Door.

People that have never stepped inside a MINI may be shocked at first to find a spacious cabin once they open the door. But this magic trick has been performed for over 60 years and stems from innovations that date all the way back to 1959. The Classic Mini introduced a sideways engine and wheels-at-the-corners layout with the goal of creating as much passenger space as possible. Fast-forward to the present, this same design makes the MINI Cooper a winner when it comes to comparing cabin space with the same size compact vehicles.

Plus with heated front seats, heated leather steering wheels, and dual zone automatic climate control, the MINI definitely excels in the comfort category.

GENEROUS CARGO SPACE.

There’s more than just Big Love when it comes to the MINI’s interior space. All models offer a surprisingly large amount of cargo space that’s flexible to carry whatever you need to hit the road or haul back home.

The MINI 3 Door model offers 731 L of cargo space with the rear seats folded down while the 5 Door model offers 941 L. Looking to pack in even more? The MINI Countryman boasts an amazing 450 L boot space or 1,390 L with the rear seats folded down.

From your typical Ikea runs to snowboards and hockey bags and sticks, the MINI Cooper carries it all and we’ve tested it!
