A minimalist front end with round headlights, octagonal front grille and LED headlights which are individually adjustable into three light signatures, complete the models front design. Clear surfaces, flush-fitting taillights, and a black handle strip with distinctive model lettering at the rear round off the vehicle design.
THREE TRIMS WITH INDIVIDUAL EQUIPMENT OPTIONS
The new MINI Cooper 5 Door is available in three trims: Classic, Exclusive and Sport, with each trim offering an array of exterior and interior personalisation options. Classic trim presents a reduced overall appearance while highlighting key elements such as the MINI wings logo, which is finished in Vibrant Silver.
A range of five exterior paint finishes, two contrasting roof colours, and two different wheel options give customers maximum flexibility.

A contrasting Chili Red roof and red/black bonnet stripes are also available. Inside the vehicle, Sport trim features a JCW black/red dashboard knit, a partially perforated Vescin steering wheel with red accents, and a lidded storage box in red/black knit.
THE INTERIOR
The interior of the new MINI Cooper 5 Door is focused on the circular infotainment screen, characteristic toggle switch and steering wheel. Behind the steering wheel is a slim head up display, ensuring all relevant content appears in the driver’s field of vision.
An innovative use of materials creates a versatile cabin using a specially developed knitting process to create an easy-care structure in a two-colour design of recycled polyester which extends across the curved dashboard and into the door panels.
The generous space in the front seats and the clean lines give the cockpit a modern look while the panoramic glass roof ensures a bright and open cabin with room for three passengers in the rear.
INTERIOR TRIMS FOR INCREASED PERSONALISATION
Classic Trim offers a three-spoke steering wheel with a textile band at the six o’clock position, black/blue Vescin/cloth upholstery as standard across the seats, dashboard and door contrasts, or grey/blue Vescin/cloth optionally.
Exclusive trim offers sports seats in Vescin Nightshade Blue as standard or Beige optionally, while Sport Trim offers a performance interpretation of the new material concept combining Vescin and Cord in dark night, with red accents also found on the dashboard and door trims.
HIGH-RESOLUTION OLED DISPLAY REVOLUTIONISES USER EXPERIENCE
Central to the MINI Cooper’s interior is a circular, 24cm OLED display, where all vehicle functions can be operated via either touch or voice control using MINI Operating System 9.
The upper half of the screen displays vehicle-related information such as speed and important information on vehicle status, while the lower area houses Navigation, Media, Phone and Climate. All other functions can be accessed via the menu with the display returning to the default setting via the home button. The optional head-up display presents the most important information in the driver’s line of sight.
In conjunction with the MINI Connected Package, the full MINI Navigation Package supports the driver during the journey with realistic 3D visualisation of turn situations, a display of the current traffic situations even when route guidance system is not active, and information on parking facilities.
THE MINI EXPERIENCE MODES
Seven MINI Experience Modes are available on the new MINI Cooper: Core, Green, Go-Kart, Personal, Vivid, Timeless and Balance. Each mode has specially designed backgrounds and when one of the seven is selected, the display focuses on a relevant “Mode App”. Giving drivers the opportunity to personalise the inside cabin, the MINI projector housed on the back of the OLED display immerses the dashboard in matching colour schemes and patterns, while the combined ambient lighting provides a unique cabin experience.
“HEY MINI” – THE NEW MINI INTELLIGENT PERSONAL ASSISTANT
Just say “Hey MINI” to activate the MINI Intelligent Personal Assistant (IPA) on the OLED display. A 3D visualisation then appears in the form of a car avatar or MINI’s digital companion, Spike. Interacting with the MINI IPA, the driver can use their voice to control a wide range of options such as navigation, telephony, entertainment, and other vehicle functions.
Built at the home of MINI, MINI Plant Oxford, the new MINI Cooper 5 Door is priced from €33,435 OTR, with first customer deliveries commencing in August 2024.
