Mini
Every Mini MotorGPA has graded — 3 models across 3 scored model years, each with a full report card.
How Mini grades
Across the 3 Mini models graded here — one SUV, one convertible and one hatchback — the median overall GPA is 1.82 (C-), 0.62 below the 2.44 median across every graded model. All 3 are gas-powered — no hybrid or electric option among them.
Subject by subject against the rest of the fleet, ownership cost is where Mini does best — a median of 1.13 against 0.85 elsewhere — and safety is where it gives most away, at 1.61 against 2.95.
The highest-graded is the 2026 Mini Countryman at 2.02; the lowest is the 2026 Mini Cooper Hardtop at 1.78. Every grade is normalized inside its own segment, so these are cars measured against their direct rivals rather than against each other.
