What is the MINI Cooper Hatch like inside?
The MINI Cooper Hatch retains a lot of classic elements in its interior. Such as the old-style large speedometer smack bang in the centre console but now repurposed to house the infotainment screen and other aesthetic features like mood lighting and visual equalisers. It’s retro-modern styled but properly considered and premium.
Style
The looks of the new-age MINI Cooper are unmistakably MINI. Chrome trim, bug-eye headlights, broad shoulders and an undeniable hatchback silhouette. With each passing generation, the style is refined ever so slightly with tasteful additions but not taking away from what makes a MINI recognisable. To add, there’s a Union Jack flag integrated into the taillights.
