Overview
Mini’s most recognizable products—the Cooper Hardtop and Convertible—are receiving a handsome new look for 2025, as part of a tip-to-tail makeover that will see a modernization of both its design and features. We’ve seen production photos of the Cooper Electric, but we expect to see gasoline-powered variants too, including a racier S trim, as is tradition. Powertrains shouldn’t be much different from the previous-generation models, meaning entry-level Coopers should get a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder, and the Cooper S should carry a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. We’re hoping to see a six-speed manual in the mix too, but an eight-speed automatic is likely to be found in the majority of the cars sold in the U.S.
What’s New for 2025?
The 2025 Cooper Hardtop and Convertible should debut before the end of 2023 and go on sale in early 2024 as 2025-model-year vehicles. When we find out more about this new third generation of the spunky compact car, we’ll update this story with details.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
Although the Mini Cooper will be essentially all-new for 2025, its pricing is expected to adhere closely to the current model. While we’ve only seen images and spy photos of the three-door hatchback so far, we’re expecting five-door hatchback and convertible body styles to remain a part of the lineup.
As more information becomes available, we’ll update this story with more details about:
