Mini Hatchback — TIMING CHAIN OR BELT?

MODEL LIST - (UPDATED 2023)

| Home / Mini / List of Mini Hatchback Models without Timing Belt

The Mini Hatchback, Mini Hatch or Mini Hardtop is a high-end subcompact car (B-segment in Europe) from the British brand Mini. It is manufactured by BMW. Although it is considered a classic, the model we know nowadays was released in 2000 under the umbrella of BMW Group, leaving behind the era when Mini belonged to the Rover Group.

The Mini Hatchback is sold in 3-door and 5-door versions and is often called just “Mini”. Depending on the trim and features chosen, it can be called Mini Cooper or Mini One. However, this is the case for all the brand’s vehicles. From the Mini Hatchback are born other adjacent models based on the same concept, such as the Mini convertible (called Mini Cabrio) or the Mini Coupé. We could also consider the Mini Clubman as the family version of this car and the Countryman as its SUV version.

The Mini Hatchback has 3 generations to date. The current version is mounted on the BMW UKL1 platform, which is exclusive to Mini brand vehicles. Among its competition we could name the Audi A1.
