Could be introduced later this year

The 2015 MINI Cooper five-door has been spied showing new details.

Caught in broad daylight, the model features shorter front doors and two new rear doors. There also appears to be a new side window and a tailgate-mounted spoiler.

While the rear doors will improve access to the rear seat, the latest spy photos show the opening is relatively small and best left for children and petite adults.

Engine options are expected to carryover from the standard model so choices should include:

• A 1.5-liter three-cylinder petrol with 134 bhp (100 kW) and 170 lb-ft (230 Nm) of torque


• A 1.5-liter three-cylinder diesel with 114 bhp (85 kW) and 199 lb-ft (269 Nm) of torque


• A 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol with 189 bhp (141 kW) and 221 lb-ft (300 Nm) of torque
