It’s only February, but that hasn’t stopped MINI USA from announcing pricing and details for their 2024 lineup.
The changes are relatively minor, but manual fans are in for some good news as the six-speed gearbox is returning to the Cooper Convertible, Cooper S Convertible, Cooper 4-Door Hardtop, and Cooper S 4-Door Hardtop. Thanks to the change, the company will offer seven different models with a manual transmission.
Besides expanded manual availability, the 2024 MINI lineup sees the return of the entry-level Classic trim on Hardtop, Clubman, and Countryman models. Furthermore, the Signature trim now includes MINI navigation with real-time traffic information.

If those don’t tickle your fancy, the Untamed, Untold and Resolute Editions are sticking around for 2024. They were originally launched in 2022 and have proven popular with buyers, so they aren’t going anywhere for the time being.
While price increases have been the norm, the Cooper Hardtop 2-Door falls from $28,600 to $25,800 thanks to the return of the aforementioned Classic trim. Likewise, the Cooper Hardtop 4-Door now begins at $26,800 instead of $29,700.
The 2024 Cooper S Clubman falls $450 to $34,050 while the Cooper Countryman drops $2,300 to $32,650. More notably, the plug-in hybrid Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 now starts at $42,700 instead of $48,600 thanks to the addition of a new Signature trim. The model’s Iconic Trim 2.0 also gains additional equipment including active cruise control, parking assist, and a power tailgate.
While most models benefit from price cuts, the Cooper Convertible bucks that trend as pricing climbs from $33,800 to $35,700. Americans also won’t be seeing the recently introduced Cooper SE Convertible.
