VERSATILE
MINI Hardtop 2 Door

No two days are the same. The MINI Hardtop 2 Door and the MINI Hardtop 4 Door were designed to adjust on the fly, so they're always ready for the day's adventure.

Nimble & Fun Size

Thanks to their compact sizes, either MINI Hardtop model is perfect for your daily commute. You can seamlessly zip through traffic and conquer busy, parked-car streets. While each model features miniature proportions, a few key differences may make one better than the other for your lifestyle needs.

The smaller size of the Hardtop 2 Door makes this model perfect for squeezing into the smallest parking spaces. Yet, the Hardtop 4 Door has the advantage of a more spacious second row, which can be helpful on days you're carpooling your team to an off-site location.


Ready for Your Ever-Changing Adventures

Some days call for solo travel, while other days, you're transporting various materials across town. Your MINI Hardtop model must accommodate your needs. Luckily, both models come standard with a 40-20 split rear seat, which allows you to adjust the cabin configuration to match your passenger-cargo needs.
