Used 2021 MINI Hardtop 2 Door Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The Mini Hardtop 2 Door comes in five main trim levels. The gas-powered Minis include the Cooper, Cooper S, John Cooper Works (JCW) and John Cooper Works GP. Mini also offers the all-electric Cooper SE. From there, you can pick subtrims such as Classic, Oxford Edition, Signature and Iconic. You can consider them packages that essentially add features.

From here, you can add more features through packages and stand-alone options. The exact packaged features differ slightly depending on which main trim you pick, but broadly these packages include:

Oxford Edition
A budget-friendly package available on the Hardtop 2 Door base Classic trim that adds:

  • 17-inch wheels
  • Heated seats
  • Panoramic sunroof

Signature

  • LED headlights
  • Heated front seats
  • Keyless ignition and entry

Iconic
Includes the above, plus:

  • Premium leather upholstery
  • 8.8-inch touchscreen with navigation
  • Head-up display
  • Apple CarPlay smartphone integration
  • Premium package
    • Auto-dimming mirrors
    • Harman Kardon sound system
    • Satellite radio

Some of the packaged features are also available as stand-alone options. A Driver Assistance package (adaptive cruise control, parking sensors and automated parking system) is available with all three subtrims. Mini also offers a range of ways to customize your Hardtop with special wheel designs, unique exterior and interior trim, and special hood or roof graphics.

Which Hardtop 2 Door trim does Edmunds recommend?

Step up to the Cooper S. This trim adds the punchy turbocharged 2.0-liter engine and upgraded sport seats. We would choose the midlevel Signature trim, not for the excessive panoramic sunroof but for its helpful automatic emergency braking and LED lighting.
