2026 Mini Cooper Hardtop
This page is DriveRevu's Cooper Hardtop catalog entry (2-door / 4-door hardtops). Convertible and Electric Cooper are separate stubs. Trade-offs: premium fuel; small-car practicality versus subcompact crossovers.
What's confirmed (EPA 2026)
From the MINI Cooper EPA model page (hardtop-relevant rows):
- Cooper C 4 Door: 32 mpg combined (28/39)
- Cooper S 4 Door: 32 mpg combined (28/39)
- Cooper C 2 Door: 32 mpg combined (27/39)
- Cooper S 2 Door: 32 mpg combined (28/39)
Convertible rows on the same page sit lower (~30 mpg combined) — use the convertible review if that is your body style.
Practical notes
Cross-shop Cooper Electric if you want BEV; otherwise Civic/Corolla hatch and other premium small cars. Wheel/tire packages can move real-world mpg even when EPA rows match.
Safety
Score pending pending IIHS/NHTSA 2026 MINI Cooper matrix fetch.
