The first BMW-parented MINI Cooper was launched in 2001, after BMW took over the rights to the Mini brand name. Through a fresh and modern design, the new Cooper recovered the classic Mini’s characteristic lines and manages to make a good simulation of what driving the old model felt like. This model was produced until 2006, when a new Cooper model took its place on the market.
topThe Cooper MkI receives power from its 1.6-liter Tritec engine, which stands on a front-wheel drive platform. These Coopers are fitted with either a conventional 5-speed manual gearbox or a CVT (continuously variable transmission) unit.
