MINI brings the new 2014 Cooper to Puerto Rico for a test drive with journalists from around the world. Our test drive review can be seen here while today we’re offering a video review of the same car.
The new generation MINI retains the classic MINI proportions, the characteristic three-way separation of body, all-round greenhouse and roof together with a new take on hallmark design features define the exterior of the new model, which has grown by some 4.5 inches in length. Its interior offers extended spatial comfort on all four seats as well as a luggage compartment volume expanded by 3 cubic feet to a total of 8.7 cubic feet.
MINI USA also announced the pricing for the new F56 MINI Hardtop which goes on sale in the spring. The base model Cooper will start at $19,950 and the Cooper S will start at $23,600 – plus a $795 Destination and Handling charge.
