The Mini Hatch, stylized as MINI Hatch, also sold as Mini Cooper, or simply called the BMW Mini, are a family of retro-styled two door supermini hatchbacks. They were introduced in July 2001 by German automaker BMW under the ‘Mini’ brand. The second generation was launched in 2006 and the third, adding a longer 4/5-door hatchback, in 2014. A two-door convertible version was added in 2004, followed by its second generation in 2008. With the launch of the fourth generation in 2024, the Mini Hatch has been renamed to Mini Cooper.
