MINI introduces petrol Paul Smith Editions, welcomes back the MINI One and announces wider range updates for July 2026.

MINI is introducing a number of additions to its UK line-up, led by new petrol-powered Paul Smith Editions, the return of the MINI One as an entry model to the brand, and further updates across the model range.

Paul Smith Edition is now available for petrol-powered MINI Cooper models.
Building on the success of the MINI Cooper Electric Paul Smith Edition, the portfolio now expands to include petrol powered models, marking the next step of the celebrated partnership. The petrol-powered models include the MINI Cooper 3-door, MINI Cooper 5-door & MINI Cooper Convertible. Mirroring the electric model offerings, the Paul Smith Edition will be available for both C and S models.

The petrol Paul Smith Edition is available in three exterior paint choices; Edition-exclusive colours of Statement Grey and Inspired White, or in Midnight Black which can already be found in the MINI family. The MINI Cooper 3-door & 5-door models are available with the contrast Nottingham Green roof colour, meanwhile the MINI Cooper Convertible receives the optionable Union Jack soft-top roof. Nottingham Green mirror caps and detailing continue to provide a subtle nod to Sir Paul Smith’s heritage.

The interior highlights include a Paul Smith striped knitted dashboard, door panels and seats. The iconic Paul Smith signature stripe is found on the steering wheel, and Paul Smith handwritten motto ‘Everyday is a new beginning’ on the door sills. A graphic of a hand-drawn rabbit by Paul Smith is found on the front floormat.

Inside and out, the MINI Paul Smith Edition continues to embody Sir Paul Smith’s ‘classic with a twist’ design philosophy. Unique colour combinations, thoughtful detailing and playful signature elements bring together MINI’s design language with Paul Smith’s unmistakable style, celebrating individuality and creativity across both electric and petrol variants of the MINI Cooper.

UK pricing for the petrol MINI Paul Smith Edition starts from £31,285 OTR for the C & from £32,335 OTR for S engine models. First customer deliveries are expected in Q3 2026.

Introducing a range of MINI models updates from July 2026.
From July 2026 new paint options available on more of the MINI family. The familiar Indigo Sunset Blue paintwork will now be available for all trim levels of the MINI Cooper Electric, meanwhile Blazing Blue will be offered on all petrol-powered MINI models, as well as the MINI Aceman in Classic and Exclusive trim levels.  

To further increase the individuality of each MINI, different interior colours are newly available to a range of models. Beige Vescin seats in combination with black knit on the dashboard and door cards will be available on every model specified in either Exclusive, Sport or JCW trims. Meanwhile, Brown Vescin seats in combination with black knit on the dashboard and door cards will be offered to on both petrol and electric versions of the MINI Countryman when specified in Exclusive trim.

MINI Connected – which was previously only available via the online store – will become equipped for the first four years after initial purchase for all Level 2 & Level 3 specified cars. This additional functionality will give customers access to key aspects such as real-time traffic and congestion updates without active route guidance. Also included will be more detailed visualisations of complicated junctions as well as 3D buildings within navigation. Another key perk of MINI Connected is the access of AirConsole games and video streaming when stationary.
