MINI Cooper S

MINI Cooper S

BMW India that had launched the new-generation of the MINI 3-door and 5-door in India in November 2014, is now planning to launch the more powerful S trim of the car this month. Powering this vehicle is a four-cylinder TwinPower turbo petrol engine that is good for 189bhp and 280Nm. This engine will come mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.

The Cooper Hardtop is a sporty three-door hatchback that serves as the backbone of 

BMW's ever-expanding MINI brand. Now in its third generation, it combines quirky, vintage

 British charm with near-luxury levels of refinement and extremely agile handling. Two

models are currently available: the 134-horsepower Cooper and the 189-horsepower 

Cooper S, and buyers looking for more space can step up to the new Hardtop Four-Door.

Overview
All new for the previous model year, the Hardtop continues to feature the traditional MINI 

compact hatchback shape. Details like the oval headlamps, the down-swept grille and the 

vertical tail lamps provide visual links to the original 1959 model produced by British Motor 

Corporation, and all Cooper models sport a power dome hood bulge.

The Cooper and the Cooper S look similar when viewed from the outside but the latter 

adopts a sportier appearance thanks to more aggressive bumpers on both ends and a mesh radiator grille..

A brand new BMW-developed platform crafted with high-strength steel helps the third-gen Hardtop shed a considerable amount of weight. In addition to increasing agility, the lower weight improves the Hardtop's acceleration and fuel economy.
