The current Mini Cooper is 155.9″ long, 68.5″ wide, on a 100″ wheelbase, weighing 3,115 lb. Since 2002 it has grown 8% in length and gained 20% in weight. At 13 feet it fits a standard garage and fits a street parking space.
Every Mini Cooper generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2002–2008 | 143.7″ | 66.5″ | 55.9″ | 97.2″ | 2,590 lb |
| 2009–2012 | 146.1″ | 66.1″ | 55.5″ | 97.2″ | 2,668 lb |
| 2013 | 155.1″ | 66.1″ | 56.3″ | 100.4″ | 2,723 lb |
| 2014 | 152″ | 66.1″ | 55.5″ | 98.4″ | 2,835 lb |
| 2025 | 152.8″ | 68.5″ | 57.1″ | 98.4″ | 3,089 lb |
| 2026 | 155.9″ | 68.5″ | 57.5″ | 100″ | 3,115 lb |
From 2002 to today the Cooper gained 12.2″ of length (8%) and 525 lb of weight (20%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
Cooper year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 15 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.
| Model year | Length | Width | Wheelbase | Curb weight | Body styles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 155.9″ | 68.5″ | 100″ | 4 | |
| 2025 | 154.7″ | 68.5″ | 99.2″ | 3 | |
| 2014 | 153.1″ | 67.7″ | 99.2″ | 9 | |
| 2013 | 153.1″ | 67.3″ | 99.6″ | 11 | |
| 2012 | 148.4″ | 66.1″ | 98″ | 8 | |
| 2011 | 149.2″ | 66.1″ | 98.4″ | 6 | |
| 2010 | 149.2″ | 66.1″ | 98.4″ | 6 | |
| 2009 | 149.2″ | 66.1″ | 98.4″ | 6 | |
| 2008 | 146.9″ | 66.1″ | 97.6″ | 5 | |
| 2007 | 144.9″ | 66.5″ | 97.2″ | 4 | |
| 2006 | 143.7″ | 66.5″ | 97.2″ | 4 | |
| 2005 | 143.7″ | 66.5″ | 97.2″ | 4 | |
| 2004 | 143.7″ | 66.5″ | 97.2″ | 2 | |
| 2003 | 143.7″ | 66.5″ | 97.2″ | 2 | |
| 2002 | 143.7″ | 66.5″ | 97.2″ | 2 |
Will a Cooper fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 13 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 13 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 5.7 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 212 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 68.5″ | 66.1″ | +2.4″ |
| Wheelbase | 100″ | 95.7″ | +4.3″ |
| Curb weight | 3,115 lb | 2,509 lb | 606 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
