MINI Australia has confirmed the launch of the MINI Paul Smith Edition. The first model to arrive is the all-electric Cooper SE, priced from $60,990 before on-road costs. Additional variants based on the Cooper 3-door, 5-door and Convertible are expected to follow later in 2026.
This is not the first time the two brands have worked together. The original MINI Paul Smith edition dates back to 1998. The latest version continues that partnership with a focus on design changes rather than mechanical upgrades.
Exterior Design
The Paul Smith Edition is available in three colours: Inspired White, Statement Grey, and Midnight Black II. Each is paired with exclusive Nottingham Green accents. The car rides on 18-inch Night Flash Spoke Black and Dark Steel wheels. Unique badging and trim details set it apart from the standard model.
Interior
Inside, the cabin uses Nightshade Blue Vescin Vegan Leather and knitted cloth combination seats. The dashboard and door cards are made from recycled polyester. Blue accents and bespoke detailing, including unique door sills and interior stitching, distinguish it from the standard model.
