Mini didn't make any changes to the Cooper's powertrain choices for 2022. That means that the base model sticks with a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine producing 134 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque, whereas the Cooper S has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 189 hp and 206 lb-ft. In all cases, power is directed to the front wheels only. If you still want more power, take a look at the JCW model that we review separately. The 2022 Mini Cooper S 2-door will take 6.4 seconds to get from 0 to 60 mph with the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and the less powerful Cooper two-door needs 7.6 regardless of which gearbox it's fitted with. The heavier four-door model isn't too far behind, taking 6.5 seconds in Cooper S guise with the dual-clutch and 7.9 seconds with the three-pot engine. In both Cooper S models, going for the six-speed manual increases the 0-60 time by a tenth of a second. All Cooper S variants can reach a top speed of 145 mph. While the Cooper is fun enough, the Cooper S we drove proves that the extra money is worth it. This model's bigger engine simply adds to the car's grin factor.2022 Cooper Hardtop Performance Photos

Two turbocharged engines continue to service the Mini Cooper Hardtop lineup. The first is a 1.5-liter three-cylinder with 134 hp and 162 lb-ft. It's paired to either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. The more potent Cooper S has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 189 hp and 206 lb-ft, and comes with the same transmission options. It should come as no surprise that the combination of the S model's more powerful engine and the manual gearbox is our favorite. However, even the 134-hp model feels sprightly considering the car's weight of under 3,000 lbs. The dual-clutch gearbox is responsive but changing gears yourself in a Mini simply feels right. The catch point on the clutch is right in the middle of the stroke, which makes for easy, smooth shifts at any speed. The throw on the stick shift is comically long though. It likes to be launched hard at about 2,500 rpm - but then get ready for second gear because it comes quickly. As this car is not overpowered, you will have to downshift from cruising gears to lower, attack gears when passing. Or, if you hang in fifth gear on the expressway, you can get from 70 to 90 mph pretty quickly. We'd maybe ask for a little more engine and exhaust noise in the cabin, though.2022 Mini Cooper Hardtop Performance Specs
