Ahead of a debut later this year, MINI reveals the interior of the 2024 MINI Cooper with simple styling inspired by the original Mini. Back in 2021, we revealed photos of the next MINI Hatch, which we now know will be the MINI Cooper (yes, ‘Cooper’ is no longer a trim level), and a glimpse […]
MINI John Cooper Works 1to6 Edition is a £40k farewell to manual gearboxes in MINIs
The MINI John Cooper Works 1to6 Edition is revealed as a limited run of titivated MINI JCWs as the last ever manual transmission MINI. MINI is travelling quickly down the EV road and that means the end of manual gearboxes, but not just for EVs with their single gear, but for legacy ICE MINIs too. […]
Classic Mini ‘Drop In’ electric conversion from Electrogenic costs £18,000
EV Technology specialists Electrogenic add to their EV conversion options with a drop-in EV conversion for the Classic Mini. Electric conversions for classic cars is becoming quite a thing but, in the main, it means spending big wads of cash which pretty much rules out EV conversions for owners of more modest classics.

The millionth MINI 3-Door Hatch of the current (F56) MINI rolls off the line in Oxford
Almost a decade after its launch, MINI is celebrating production of the one-millionth example of the current MINI 3-Door Hatch (F56) in Oxford.

New Electric MINI Countryman E is as big as a BMW X1 – and gets the same EV powertrains
MINI releases camouflaged images of the new electric MINI Countryman and confirms it will be available in FWD and AWD guises. The arrival of the MINI Countryman a decade or more ago raised more than a few eyebrows, so far removed was it from the ethos of the original Mini. But, visual shock aside, it […]

The MINI Clubman Final Edition arrives as a limited run of 1,969 cars marking the end of the MINI Clubman. Costs from £37,000. In Mini’s 1960s heyday, if you wanted a Mini Estate, Mini had the Traveller as a more practical take on the regular Mini. But in 1969, Mini decided they needed a model […]
New MINI Countryman SUV will add to MINI’s electric offerings
The new MINI Countryman, due to be revealed in September, will grow in size and come with an electric powertrain option.

MINI Electric Convertible arrives – at a WHOPPING price
The MINI Electric Convertible arrives as a limited-run open-top MINI EV with fixed specifications and a £52,500 price tag.

The MINI Cooper S Convertible Seaside Edition arrives in the depths of winter as a convertible Cooper S special edition.
