That means the little German/British-hybrid firm will quickly provide seven six-speed fashions. Oh, joyful days. If that wasn’t sufficient excellent news, three particular editions known as Untamed, Untold and Resolute will probably be persevering with into the 2024 mannequin yr due to excessive demand.
But first, back to the manuals. Mini says the 4 fashions receiving the transmission for 2024 are the Mini Cooper Convertible, the Mini Cooper S Convertible (one of the best one), Mini Cooper 4-Door Hardtop and Mini Cooper S 4-Door Hardtop. A handbook possibility was lacking for a fairly a while in Mini’s complete lineup, however in October 2022 the automaker introduced the return of three handbook fashions: the Cooper, Cooper S and John Cooper Works two-door hardtops.
Another 2024 replace is the reintroduction of the bottom Classic Trim for Hardtop, Clubman and Countryman fashions. The vehicles come as normal in Chili Red (a superb shade) or might be upgraded to Nanuq White or Midnight Black II (worse colours).
