The MINI Hardtop models are compact hatchbacks, designed for urban driving with nimble handling and efficient performance. They come in 3-door and 5-door versions, with the 5-door offering slightly more space and practicality. The MINI Convertible is a drop-top version of the Hardtop, maintaining the compact footprint but adding an open-air experience.

The MINI Clubman is a slightly larger wagon-style vehicle with unique split rear doors. It offers more cargo space and rear seat legroom than the Hardtop models, making it a more practical choice while retaining MINI’s signature driving dynamics.

The MINI Countryman is classified as a subcompact SUV and is the largest model in the MINI lineup. It offers available all-wheel drive (called ALL4), higher ground clearance, and increased interior space, making it suitable for mild off-road use and family travel. This model directly competes with other subcompact SUVs in the market and is the only MINI that fits the SUV classification.

While most MINI Cooper models are classified as hatchbacks or wagons, the MINI Countryman stands out as the brand’s only SUV offering. It blends the MINI’s sporty character with the practicality and versatility expected of a small SUV. Additionally, the newer MINI Aceman, an all-electric crossover set to debut soon, is also considered an SUV and will join the Countryman in MINI's SUV category.
