Overview
The MINI 3 Door is the short, four-seat petrol hatch for buyers who want the three-door MINI format rather than a family-first five-door. In F66 form it sits in the B-segment hatchback class, with a 1,998 cc engine and wet dual-clutch automatic. Prices start at RM279,888 for the Cooper S.
3 Door in 2026 — what's new
The petrol F66 MINI 3 Door carries on into 2026 unchanged. The range remains Cooper S and John Cooper Works, both with a 1,998 cc petrol engine, wet dual-clutch automatic and four seats. For 2026, the separate 1965 Victory Edition is based on the electric JCW 3 Door, so it does not alter these petrol Cooper S and JCW variants.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the Cooper S at RM279,888. It already gets the same 1,998 cc displacement, wet dual-clutch automatic and four-seat layout as the John Cooper Works. The JCW costs RM318,888, so the RM39,000 gap buys 27 hp, from 201 hp to 228 hp. Pay more only if that higher-output JCW version is the point; on paper, the core layout is the same.

Verdict
The MINI 3 Door is best read as a style-led, premium-priced three-door petrol hatch, not a rational B-segment buy. Its 2024-generation petrol Cooper S is a warmed-over take on the outgoing petrol MINI Hatch, while the brand’s clean-sheet new hatch direction is electric. The numbers make the positioning clear: even the Cooper S costs far above a Myvi or Iriz, and the JCW is priced higher than a Toyota GR Yaris.
