It is available in both three-door and a five-door version , the three-door version has the same dimensions as those of the current generation while the five-door version has larger dimensions than those of the current model, with a larger wheelbase so there is more space for rear passengers.

The five-door 2014 Mini Cooper will be slightly smaller in length than the Countryman.
