Optional upgrades for the MINI family
February 11, 2025
Following the successful launch of the new MINI family, a range of additions and optional extras are being introduced from the spring.

Increasing personalisation across the MINI Cooper, MINI Cooper Convertible and MINI Countryman, customers now have a wider choice of exterior colours and trim combinations, alongside new digital features and improved practicality.
Cooper and Cooper Convertible customers now have a choice of nine exterior paint options when building their new model; Legend Grey, Sunnyside Yellow, Ocean Wave Green, Melting Silver, Icy Sunshine Blue, Midnight Black II, Nanuq White, British Racing Green IV & Chili Red. Cooper Convertible customers also benefit from one further optional colour thanks to model exclusive Copper Grey.
For customers building their MINI Countryman, a choice of nine exterior paints are now available: Melting Silver III, Midnight Black II, Nanuq White, British Racing Green, Blazing Blue, Chili Red, Legend Grey, Smokey Green & Slate Blue.
Additionally, MINI Cooper models built from March 1 onwards now offer increased practicality for those who wish to extend their vehicles storage through a roof box, with the addition of roof rails as an optional extra.
For those who want a breath of fresh air, MINI Cooper Convertible customers can now optionally choose a soft-top roof with iconic Union Jack design, adding flair to the vehicle when the roof is closed.
Previously offered on the MINI Countryman S only, a towbar is now offered optionally across all MINI Countryman derivatives, including the MINI Countryman E and SE. Activated using a button within the boot, a towbar further enhances the usability of the vehicle which can tow the following weights 750kg and 2,000kg dependant on the model.
For vehicles built after March 1, Digital Key will now be extended, giving those who share their MINI with friends and family the possibility to add up to 18 keys for each vehicle. Offered through iOS devices including smart watches, Digital Key allows owners to share vehicle access with others to safely unlock, lock and start the MINI when a vehicle key isn’t present.
Further improvements have also been made to the in-vehicle Intelligent Personal Assistant (IPA), offering more accurate recognition for voice command requests and improved responsiveness. A new MINI-specific male voice will also be included to the IPA catalogue.
