This guide ranks every 2026 MINI by its combined fuel consumption rating in litres per 100 kilometres. You will see how each model performs, how much room it offers and which one suits the way you drive. The results hold a pleasant surprise for anyone who wants a little extra punch.

Every gas model uses a 2.0 L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Countryman SE ALL4 figures are in Le/100 km with 18-inch wheels.
The Cooper S 5 Door Leads the Gas Lineup at 7.3 L/100 km
The Cooper S 5 Door earns the top spot among gas models with a combined rating of 7.3 L/100 km. Its 2.0 L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine makes 201 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h takes 6.8 seconds.
Here is the pleasant surprise. The Cooper S 5 Door has 40 more horsepower than the Cooper C 5 Door, yet its combined rating is 0.1 L/100 km lower. Picking the quicker car costs you nothing extra at the pump.
The extra doors make daily life easier too. The 5 Door measures 4,037 mm long with a 2,567 mm wheelbase, so rear passengers get their own doors while the car stays short enough for small parking spaces. Comfort Access with Digital Key Plus and wireless device charging come standard.
Three Coopers Tie at 7.4 L/100 km
Three models share a combined rating of 7.4 L/100 km: the Cooper C 3 Door, the Cooper S 3 Door and the Cooper C 5 Door. Each one uses front-wheel drive and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.
The Cooper C 3 Door makes 161 hp and 184 lb-ft and reaches 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds. Its 6.0 L/100 km highway rating matches the Cooper C 5 Door for the lowest highway figure among gas models. MINI Experience Modes, including Go-Kart Mode, are offered as an option.
The Cooper S 3 Door steps up to 201 hp and 221 lb-ft, with a 0 to 100 km/h time of 6.6 seconds. Both 3 Door models measure 3,877 mm long, weigh 1,367 kg and hold 210 L behind the rear seats or 725 L with the seats folded.
The Cooper C 5 Door rounds out the trio with 161 hp and a 0 to 100 km/h time of 8.0 seconds. It suits drivers who want five doors with the calmest engine in the family.
Open-Air and JCW Models Stay Under 8 L/100 km
Performance and top-down driving add very little to the fuel bill in a MINI. The John Cooper Works 3 Door makes 228 hp and 280 lb-ft, reaches 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds and still earns a combined rating of 7.7 L/100 km.
The Cooper C Convertible matches that figure at 7.7 L/100 km, while the Cooper S Convertible and John Cooper Works Convertible each come in at 7.9 L/100 km. The soft top opens in 18 seconds, closes in 15 seconds and works at speeds up to 30 km/h. The Convertible holds 215 L of cargo behind the rear seats.
The Countryman S ALL4 Adds All-Wheel Drive at 8.7 L/100 km
The Countryman S ALL4 gives you the most cargo space of any gas MINI, with 505 L behind the rear seats and 1,530 L with them folded. Its engine makes 241 hp and 295 lb-ft, sent to all four wheels. It reaches 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds and earns a combined rating of 8.7 L/100 km.
For more power, the John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4 makes 312 hp and 295 lb-ft. It reaches 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds, the quickest time in the gas lineup, with a combined rating of 9.2 L/100 km.
The Countryman SE ALL4 Uses No Fuel at All
The Countryman SE ALL4 is the electric choice in the 2026 MINI lineup. Two electric motors produce 308 hp and 364 lb-ft of torque with standard all-wheel drive. It reaches 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds and uses the equivalent of 2.4 Le/100 km combined with 18-inch wheels.
- Battery: 66.5 kWh gross, 65.3 kWh usable
- Range: 341 km with 18-inch wheels, 328 km with 19-inch wheels
- DC fast charging: up to 130 kW, 10 to 80% in 29 minutes
- Cargo: 460 L behind the rear seats, 1,450 L with the seats folded
At home, the 9.6 kW onboard charger takes the battery from 0 to 100% in 7.5 hours, which makes overnight charging an easy routine.
Which Efficient MINI Fits Your Driving?
Every 2026 MINI keeps a turbocharged engine or electric motors at its core, so there is no slow choice in the lineup. The right pick depends on how many people you carry and how you use your car each week.
- Lowest gas consumption with rear doors: the Cooper S 5 Door at 7.3 L/100 km combined
- Lightest and most compact: the Cooper C 3 Door or Cooper S 3 Door at 7.4 L/100 km combined
- Top-down driving: the Cooper C Convertible at 7.7 L/100 km combined
