Product Overview

Mini Hatch F55 LCI is an affordable subcompact 5-door hatchback in production from 2018. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.5 to 2.0 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, the car has a rather more attractive styling upgrade. However, with it, the engines adopted wokeism. They became more complex, less efficient, and less powerful.
Mini has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.
Compared to other cars in its segment, the Mini still boasts independent suspensions.
