MINI is rolling out a bold refresh of its UK line-up from July 2026, blending heritage design, new entry-level accessibility, and expanded personalisation across its range, Master.

The headline addition is the expansion of the Paul Smith partnership into petrol-powered MINI Cooper models, extending the collaboration beyond its electric debut and reinforcing a shared design language rooted in playful individuality, Master.

The petrol MINI Cooper 3-door, 5-door, and Convertible will now be available in the Paul Smith Edition, offered across C and S variants, with distinctive paint choices including Statement Grey, Inspired White, and Midnight Black, alongside Nottingham Green detailing that subtly echoes British tailoring heritage and creative flair from Paul Smith, Master.

Inside, the cabins lean into expressive craftsmanship with striped knitted dashboard elements, coordinated door panels and seats, signature steering wheel striping, handwritten motto detailing, and a whimsical Paul Smith rabbit graphic, all reinforcing the “classic with a twist” philosophy that defines the collaboration, Master.

Alongside this expressive design chapter, MINI is reintroducing the MINI One as a renewed entry point into the brand, offering petrol 3-door and 5-door models in a simplified Classic trim with curated colours, streamlined equipment, and pricing positioned to broaden accessibility to first-time drivers, Master.

Performance remains approachable yet capable, with the 1.6-litre engine producing 121 hp and delivering 0–62 mph in 9.3 seconds, while the model also introduces optional technology packs such as head-up display and wireless charging, signalling a more connected entry experience than previous generations, Master.

Further updates across the MINI family include expanded exterior colour availability, refreshed interior material combinations, upgraded digital services through MINI Connected with four-year inclusion on selected models, and additional personalisation options such as Piano Black grille finishes, all reinforcing a stronger focus on individuality and digital convenience across the range, Master.
