The new Mini Cooper 5-Door has arrived, providing a more practical alternative to the old three-door model. Unlike its smaller sibling, the 5-Door is exclusively available with petrol power. To accommodate five passengers, the 5-Door hatch features a wheelbase that is 72mm longer, 172mm wider, and an extended length of 172mm compared to the standard Cooper. According to Mini, the rear cabin area is much roomier and can fit three people comfortably. The 3-door model's short overhangs are kept, and the classic triangular taillights are seen at the rear.

2025 Mini Cooper 5 Door: Design
Similar to the 3-Door model revealed last year, the design of the 2025 Mini Cooper 5 Door is quite different but still has the iconic Mini look and silhouette. The new model's styling cues are similar to that of the 3-Door Cooper, except with two more doors. As a result, the front end boasts sleek, round headlamps with LED daytime running lights and a large split black grille. The painted bar dividing the grille is slightly slimmer than that on the 3 Door.
2025 Mini Cooper 5 Door: Mechanical Specifications
The Cooper 5 Door will come with two petrol engines in Europe. First, there will be a 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged engine, producing 154bhp of maximum power and 230Nm of peak torque; this engine will only be offered in the entry-level Cooper C. This vehicle can hit 225km/h and go from 0 to 100km/h in 8 seconds.
The 2.0-litre four-cylinder Cooper S, which generates 201bhp and 300Nm of torque, is a good choice for those looking for a bit more oomph. The Cooper S reaches its peak speed of 242km/h and can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 6.8 seconds.
With the option for adaptive suspension that includes frequency-selective dampers, Mini claims that the new Cooper 5 Door features a "suspension and damping system tuned for spirited handling." The hatchback will be offered with wheel sizes between 16 and 18 inches; bigger 8.4-inch tyres will be suitable for those who choose 17 or 18-inch wheels.

2025 Mini Cooper 5 Door: Interior and Features
Inside, there are four trim options available. The Essential Trim features black seats with patterned fabric, while the Classic Trim replaces the standard two-spoke steering wheel with a three-spoke one. A Favorite trim with a two-tone houndstooth pattern on the dash is also quite elegant. There is an additional sporty JCW Trim in multicoloured knitted fabric and black faux leather with red stitching.
Along with having 275 litres of boot space (up from 210 litres in the 3-door), the 5-door's significant improvement is in the amount of luggage it can hold when the rear seats' 60:40 split are folded down. The 3-door can only carry 800 litres, while the 5-door model can carry 925 litres.
Drivers can select one of seven 'MINI Experience Modes', including Core, Green, and Go-Kart, instead of the standard regular, Eco, and Sport modes and unique Personal, Vibrant, Timeless, and Balance settings. Each features a unique theme for the OLED display, which alters the graphics projected onto the dashboard.
Every new 5-door Mini Cooper, regardless of trim level, boasts a sizable circular 9.4-inch OLED display in the centre of the dash. This unit runs the most recent version of Mini Operating System 9, which includes the Mini Intelligent Personal Assistant. The display allows the configuration of seven interior settings to change the mood and atmosphere of the cabin.
The new Cooper 5 Door will be available from Mini in eleven paint jobs and three striking roof colour options. The bookings are open. The price of the 5-door Cooper C and 5-door Cooper S start at GBP 24,050 (about Rs 25.63 lakh) and GBP 28,450 (around Rs 30.32 lakh), respectively. This represents a price increase of almost GBP 900 (approximately Rs 96,000) over the comparable three-door model.
