Mini's lineup isn't quite as maxi as it was a couple of years ago. That's a good thing since it has allowed the BMW-owned British icon to dial down overlap between models that didn't really have a mission.
Today's lineup is more focused on what consumers really want—the standard Cooper in classic three-door and more practical five-door configurations and the Cooper Countryman crossover.
This year's changes are modest: the Cooper adds some features to its standard equipment roster, while the Countryman is now available with the brand's first-ever plug-in hybrid powertrain.
Here's a more comprehensive look at what you'll find in a Mini showroom this year:
2018 Mini Cooper:
- Rearview camera now standard.
- Revised gauge cluster.
- Some minor standard and optional equipment shuffling.
2018 Mini Cooper Countryman:
- Rearview camera now standard.
- Plug-in hybrid powertrain now available.
- Apple CarPlay support added to certain models.
