The Mini Cooper has come a long way since its humble beginnings. The British icon has evolved from a cute little car from decades past to a slightly bigger but still cute car.

Throughout the years, the Mini has also gotten more powerful, more tech-loaded, and—believe it or not—slightly more practical. While it still doesn’t offer the cabin space (and the rear doors) that most passenger cars have, it now has a roomier interior that these days are also equipped with more amenities to make the daily ride more bearable.
