As we all know that in the worldwide car competition, the compact car is apparently the most cutthroat segment and that’s the reason why the company has reworked the 2014 Mini Cooper S to match up with its rivals. The main difference between the older model of Cooper S and the recent generation will be the wheelbase. The latest Cooper S model has the 4 inches shorter wheelbase which results in some interior sizing that are tighter than the previous generation especially in rear seat comfort. On the other hand, the company promises that this latest model will provide several advantages in terms of features and performance as compared to its predecessors.
Interior
Inside the 2014 Mini Cooper S, you will find out several standard interior equipments which consist of full power accessories, cruise control, air-conditioning system, tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, split folding rear seat, emergency communication system, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, a touch screen infotainment interface, 6-speaker sound system, CD player and satellite radio. The upper trim level may boast heated mirrors, upgraded upholstery, Mini phone integration, voice controls, internet radio compatibility, an auxiliary audio jack, an iPod/USB audio interface, remote vehicle start, dual-zone automatic climate control, 8-way power driver seat with power lumbar and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Exterior
Towards the exterior features, the Mini Cooper S comes equipped with 16 inches alloy wheels, automatic headlights and keyless entry while upper trim model will be added with 18 inches alloy wheels, xenon headlights, a sunroof, fog lights and a compact spare tire. Towards the sizing, the latest Cooper S vehicle is actually wider as compared to its predecessor resulting in more hip and shoulder space. Unluckily, the wheelbase has been reduced in size which signifies that there will be less rear leg space than other mid-size vehicles. That’s why this car is less powerful than 2014 Toyota Tundra.
Engine
Under the hood, all of the Mini Cooper S models will be backed up with a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine that will produce 197 hp and 191 pound-feet of maximum torque. A 6-speed automatic is the only transmission available for all models. The estimated fuel economy of this family vehicle stands at 22 mpg city or 34 mpg highway and 26 mpg in combined driving. Using this kind of engine, the Chevy Cooper S can run from zero to 60 mph in approximately 8.2 seconds.
