2014 MINI Cooper Spied During Testing

MINI's new 2014 Cooper has been spied testing once more, offering a revealing look at the light hatch's new interior and LED tail-light design.

The images suggest that the new model's rear lights will be larger than on the current model, while also revealing a new look to the circular dash design.

The new Cooper appears to be wider and lower than the current-gen R56 model, with more organic styling to emphasise each wheelarch and give a more compact appearance to the car's glasshouse.

The windscreen also appears to have a more shallow rake than before, which should bring aerodynamic improvements as well as a sleeker silhouette.

In addition, a wider and shorter grille will add some visual width to the new Cooper's fascia.

This prototype’s interior also suggests a continuation of previous MINI retro shapes, but with more contemporary details and switchgear.
