Summary
MINI has released new images of the Cooper S 5-door in Nanuq White. The five-seat hatchback uses a 150 kW/204 hp four-cylinder petrol engine and has a listed WLTP fuel consumption of 6.8 l/100 km.
MINI has released new images of the Cooper S 5-door finished in Nanuq White, highlighting the model’s five-door layout, five seats and flexible luggage compartment. The manufacturer positions the compact hatchback as a more practical version of the MINI format while retaining the brand’s emphasis on agile handling and driving character.
The release, issued by BMW Group on 16 September 2026, is primarily a presentation of the five-door model and its equipment and performance specifications. It does not announce a new electric variant or battery system: the Cooper S 5-door described here uses a four-cylinder petrol engine.
A five-door MINI with 204 hp
The Cooper S 5-door is powered by a petrol engine rated at 150 kW, equivalent to 204 hp. MINI says the engine is intended to provide sporty performance in both urban driving and longer leisure journeys.
The five-door body adds two rear access points compared with a conventional three-door hatchback layout, while the five-seat cabin is designed for routine passenger use. MINI also highlights a flexible luggage compartment, presenting the model as suited to weekend trips and everyday carrying needs.
The vehicle’s compact proportions include short overhangs, which MINI links to its handling characteristics. The manufacturer describes the steering and driving response as part of the model’s typical MINI driving feel. Those descriptions are company characterisations rather than results from independent road testing.
Fuel consumption and emissions
For the German automotive market, MINI lists combined WLTP fuel consumption of 6.8 litres per 100 kilometres. The corresponding carbon-dioxide figure is 152 grams per kilometre, placing the vehicle in CO2 class E.
The figures were measured using methods required under Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715, as amended. MINI notes that WLTP values can take optional equipment into account and are used as a basis for vehicle taxes and other duties where those charges depend on CO2 emissions.
The Nanuq White presentation therefore combines a practical five-door configuration with the higher-output Cooper S petrol powertrain. Its significance is less a change to the MINI range than a clear depiction of how the model is intended to serve buyers who want the brand’s compact format with easier rear access, five-seat usability and additional luggage flexibility.
