Nothing impressing on the outside, because Mini wanted to keep the traditional lines. The engine line-up will consists of the same units that we find on the three door version. This means we will have a Cooper, a Cooper S, a Cooper D and a Cooper SD. Along this popular units, Mini offers two transmissions, a six speed manual or a six speed Steptronic.
