MINI Introduces Petrol Paul Smith Editions Alongside The Return Of The MINI One

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.
