(February 17, 2024) Mini has globally introduced its next new models — the 2025 Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S. These new 3-door models are part of the most significant transformation for Mini since its founding 65 years ago — a transformation that will see the introduction of a completely new Mini family of vehicles over the course of this year.

Within the new Cooper family, Mini designates the performance levels of its gasoline engines, using the letter C for the Mini Cooper, and using the letter S for the performance-enhanced Mini Cooper S. On the global stage, the attractive powertrain portfolio of the new three door Mini is complemented by two efficient gasoline engines with a choice of three or four cylinders.

For U.S. customers, the new Mini Cooper and Cooper S come exclusively with 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engines. The brand's iconic go-kart feeling is brought to the road in the new generation Mini, while its clean, Minimalist design carries on the instantly recognizable appearance unique to Mini.

“At Mini, 'Power of Choice” means that in addition to current and future electric Mini models, we also offer models such as the new Mini Cooper with gasoline engine. The car is ideal for all those people who want to drive a classic Mini 3-door and appreciate the traditional performance and characteristic sound of a combustion engine,” said Stefanie Wurst, head of Mini.

The interior focuses on Minimalist design and new materials. Technical innovations such as the Mini Operating System 9, the new Mini Experience Modes and a wide range of digital functions create an immersive user experience.

In U.S. trim, the Mini Cooper S 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine generates an output of 201 hp and a maximum of 221 ft-lbs of torque, accelerating the car from 0 to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds. For US customers, the Cooper variant is expected to arrive at dealers in early fall.  Specifications and performance details of the Cooper 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine will be made available closer to U.S. launch.

The Mini Cooper is equipped with a suspension and damping system designed for agile handling. The precise typical Mini steering combined with powerful brakes ensures a high level of driving pleasure, safety, and comfort.

With a purist design and compact silhouette, the Mini Cooper is the embodiment of the brand's basic idea: maximum driving pleasure with a Minimal ecological footprint. The contemporary Minimalism of the new design characterizes the clear surfaces of the body. Short overhangs and a short bonnet contrast with the long wheelbase, giving the car typical Mini proportions.



At the front, the new octagonal grille with its filigree contours defines the Mini Cooper's characteristic face even more. The BMW Group's smallest radar sensor to date is positioned on the horizontal strut between the air intakes. A total of 12 ultrasonic sensors in the Mini Cooper support the driver assistance systems and increase driving safety.

Horizontal LED daytime running lights underline the new appearance in the standard setting. The striking appearance is further enhanced by three selectable light signatures called Classic, Favored, or JCW for the daytime running lights of the Mini LED headlights and the redesigned matrix rear lights.  All three selectable light signatures begin and end with a specially orchestrated welcome or goodbye animation.

The Mini Cooper's elegant, Minimalist interior design is inspired by the classic Mini. The new steering wheel, the typical Mini toggle bar and the two-tone textile dashboard create a sense of spaciousness in the cockpit. Clean lines are the hallmark of the modern interior with its generous amount of space. The panoramic glass roof adds to the bright and friendly atmosphere. By folding down the rear seat in a 60:40 ratio, the luggage compartment can be flexibly expanded from 8.9 cubic feet to provide a volume of up to 34.4 cubic feet.

The most important driving functions (parking brake, gear selector, start/stop key, experience mode toggle, volume control) are directly accessible via the distinctive toggle bar. By moving the gear selector to the toggle bar, the center console now has space to accommodate the new Wireless Charging Shelf 2.0 where smartphones can be stored here and charged wirelessly.

The Mini Interaction Unit has been moved closer to the driver in the Mini Cooper cockpit. An industry first, this thin, high-resolution OLED display with high-quality glass edge has a diameter of 9.4 inches. Its operating logic is like that of a smartphone and can be operated intuitively by touch.

Relevant vehicle-related information, such as speed and fuel consumption, is displayed at the top of the screen. In the main menu, the functions are arranged horizontally as widgets and can be selected by swipe and touch. In the lower area of the OLED display, the menu items Navigation, Media, Telephone and Climate can be selected directly at any time.
