Gearbox Type: 7-Speed Dual-Clutch (DCT) / 1-Speed (EV)
The petrol model utilizes a 7-speed Steptronic Dual-Clutch Transmission, providing lightning-fast shifts that enhance the sporty driving experience. The electric Cooper E features a seamless single-speed automatic transmission, ensuring a smooth and silent glide through traffic.
Drive Type: Front Wheel Drive (FWD)
Both variants retain the signature MINI front-wheel-drive layout. This setup, combined with a low center of gravity (especially in the EV with its floor-mounted battery), provides the precise, sharp steering that defines the brand's identity.
