What is the Mini Cooper Hatch like inside?
The Mini Cooper Hatch retains many classic elements in its interior, such as the old-style large speedometer smack bang in the centre console, which has now been repurposed to house the infotainment screen and other aesthetic features like mood lighting and visual equalisers. It's retro-modern styled but properly considered and premium.
Style
The looks of the new-age Mini Cooper are unmistakably Mini: chrome trim, bug-eye headlights, broad shoulders, and an undeniable hatchback silhouette. With each passing generation, the style is refined ever so slightly with tasteful additions, but they do not diminish what makes a Mini recognisable. To add, there's a Union Jack flag integrated into the taillights.
