The hatchback rides on fresh diamond-cut alloy wheels and showcases new taillamps with arrow-shaped LED elements.
The interior of the car has been updated with a larger circular touchscreen infotainment system, a modern steering wheel, and a new dashboard design.
Performance
The hatchback will be powered by a 2.0-liter engine
In India, the 2024 MINI Cooper S will be powered by a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder, turbo-petrol engine.
The power output of this engine has been increased to 204hp/300Nm, which is 26hp/20Nm more than its predecessor.
The power will be transmitted to the front wheels through a standard seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
