Joint market launch in March 2022: Resolute Edition for the MINI 3 door, the MINI 5 door and the MINI Convertible, Untold Edition for the MINI Clubman and Untamed Edition for the MINI Countryman. Unmistakable charisma through exclusive design and equipment features. With new edition models in spring 2022, MINI is increasing enthusiasm for driving fun, expressive design, premium quality and individual style. For the first time, all current models of the traditional British premium automobile manufacturer will be launched at the same time in a specific special edition. From March 2022, the MINI 3 door, the MINI 5 door and the MINI Convertible will hit the streets in the Resolute Edition. This is also available for the MINI Cooper SE. At the same time, the MINI Clubman will be offered in the Untold Edition and the MINI Countryman in the Untamed Edition.

The edition models present themselves as particularly authentic product personalities, each with their own orientation. Their exclusive and precisely coordinated design and equipment features emphasize key elements in the character of each model. The Resolute Edition for the brand's small car models makes a clear statement for the individuality, traditional style, self-confidence and unmistakable charisma of the original in the premium segment of this vehicle class.

The versatile qualities of the MINI Clubman, which are associated with its stylish design and its unique body concept, are emphasized particularly intensively in the Untold Edition. In the Untamed Edition, the MINI Countryman primarily sharpens its profile as the perfect companion for spontaneous adventures beyond urban mobility. A model-specific characteristic of the respective special edition is ensured with particularly attractive body paint finishes and light-alloy wheels, a high-quality interior design and exclusive decorative elements for the exterior and interior.

In addition, in conjunction with the new MINI editions, a vehicle configuration based on personal wishes and needs is also possible. Their range of equipment can be combined, for example, with the model-specific comfort, driver assistance and connected packages. Individual options such as the Steptronic sports transmission, the adaptive suspension, the Harman Kardon hi-fi loudspeaker system or the panorama glass roof are also available in the appropriate version for additional customization.

The MINI Resolute Edition: Pure driving pleasure, unique charisma.

As an original in the premium segment of small cars, the MINI combines exciting driving fun with an unconventional charisma that is attractive to different target groups, which is characterized by its unmistakable design and its modern premium characteristics. This results in the unique status that MINI has in this competitive environment. The MINI 3 door with its classic body concept, like the MINI 5 door with its extended functionality, stands for eventful urban mobility in the 21st century. Joie de vivre and openness are essential components of the typical MINI feeling, which is now also enriching the world of electromobility. The MINI Cooper SE combines the style of the original with locally emission-free driving fun. In addition, the MINI Convertible complements the unmistakable appearance of the brand with a particularly extravagant, youthful, fresh appearance.

The Resolute Edition is available for the MINI Cooper 3 door (combined fuel consumption: 6,1 – 5,5 l/100 km; CO₂emissions combined: 137 – 124 g/km according to WLTP) the MINI Cooper S 3 door (combined fuel consumption: 6,6 – 6,2 l/100 km; CO₂emissions combined: 151 – 140 g/km according to WLTP), the MINI Cooper 5 door (combined fuel consumption: 6,1 – 5,5 l/100 km; CO₂emissions combined: 139 – 126 g/km according to WLTP) and for the MINI Cooper S 5 door (combined fuel consumption: 6,8 – 6,2 l/100 km; CO₂emissions combined: 154 – 141 g/km according to WLTP). It is also available in conjunction with the all-electric MINI Cooper SE. The MINI Cooper Convertible (combined fuel consumption: 6,4 – 5,9 l/100 km; CO₂emissions combined: 144 – 134 g/km according to WLTP) and the MINI Cooper S Cabrio (combined fuel consumption: 6,9 – 6,5 l/100 km; CO₂-Emissions combined: 157 – 148 g/km according to WLTP).

Expressive accents and color combinations.

The exclusive design and equipment features of the Resolute Edition take up the original characteristics of the small car models from MINI and combine them with high-quality and modern accents. The features of its exterior design include both a color scheme characterized by traditional style and the absence of chrome elements, which will be mandatory in future MINI models in favor of optimized sustainability. The body paintwork in the Rebel Green variant, which was previously exclusive to the top athlete MINI John Cooper Works (combined fuel consumption: 7,1 – 6,8 l/100 km; CO₂emissions combined: 162 – 156 g/km according to WLTP). It is combined with a Pepper White paintwork for the roof and the exterior mirror caps of the MINI 3 door and the MINI 5 door. In the Resolute Edition of the MINI Convertible, the electrically operated soft top and the exterior mirror caps are black.

Brand-typical design features are executed in the exclusive color Resolute Bronze. These include the surrounds for the headlights, the radiator grille and the rear lights, the side scuttles on the front side walls, the handles on the doors and tailgate and, in the case of the MINI Cooper S, the air inlets in the front apron and the fuel filler cap. The brand logos and model lettering, which are finished in Piano Black like the inner frame of the radiator grille, the tailpipe trim of the exhaust system and the horizontal radiator grille strut of the MINI Cooper S, create an attractive contrast. On the MINI 3 door and on the MINI 5 door in the Resolute Edition, there is also a black strip running all the way around the lower edge of the windows.

Both the bonnet stripes and the door sills of the edition vehicles have a pattern of parallel lines with a color gradient between a light and a dark gold tone as well as the lettering "RESOLUTE". The asymmetrical design gives them a particularly high-quality and unconventional look and feel in typical MINI style. The discreetly sporty appearance of the edition vehicles is rounded off by 18-inch light-alloy wheels in Pulse Spoke Black design. The MINI Cooper SE has 17-inch light-alloy wheels in the Electric Collection Spoke design. Alternatively, 17-inch light-alloy wheels in Tentacle Spoke Black are available for all models.

Sport seats in the fabric/leatherette version Black Pearl / Light Checkered, which are combined with black armrests and knee rolls, contribute to the exclusive flair in the interior of the edition vehicles. This color scheme harmonises perfectly with the Rebel Green exterior paintwork and the black and gold exterior design features. The MINI Yours Leather Lounge variant is also available as an option in Carbon Black with particularly distinctive seams and piping and a perforated Union Jack motif on the headrests. The Nappa sports leather steering wheel has an edition emblem on the lower spoke, and the roof lining of the MINI 3 door and MINI 5 door models is anthracite.

Just like the available seat variants, the interior surfaces specially created for the Resolute Edition also emphasize the high-quality style of the vehicles. Parallel and evenly curved lines in a light gold tone form an elegant pinstripe pattern on the black background of the surfaces. At the same time, they pick up on the structure of the bonnet stripes. The specific design features are atmospherically staged with the help of the light package, whose LED units ensure targeted illumination of the interior, and with the ambient light, which also includes a laser-engraved ring for the central instrument, light piping in the doors and in the cockpit area, and illuminated door handles and door entry areas. The MINI Driving Modes are also part of the scope of equipment for the Resolute Edition.

The exclusive design features of the Resolute Edition form a carefully put together overall package for high-quality style on the outside and inside. They also tie in particularly harmoniously with the clear and puristic design language of the MINI small car models. In the interior, the classic, sporty flair of the colors and materials is combined with advanced digital technology. The latest generation of the MINI operating system optimizes the possibilities for quick and intuitive control of vehicle functions, audio program, communication, navigation and apps. Live widgets on the 8,8-inch touch display of the central instrument are used to activate the desired menu item, which can be selected with a swipe movement, similar to a smartphone.

The MINI Untold Edition: Sporty understatement.

The MINI Clubman is an exception in the premium compact segment. Its modern interpretation of the classic shooting brake concept combines tradition and understatement with progressive and lifestyle-oriented characteristics. The unique body concept with four doors, a particularly long roof line and the split doors at the rear, consisting of two laterally opening wings, not only gives the MINI Clubman an extravagant appearance, but also a high degree of functionality. Its interior offers five seats and a generous, variable storage volume that can be expanded from 360 to up to 1 liters.

The Untold Edition exclusively underscores the role of the MINI Clubman as a stylish individualist in its vehicle class. The cultivated sophistication of its design is combined in a new way with authentic accents for powerful sportiness. The Untold Edition is available in conjunction with five model variants. The selection includes the MINI Cooper Clubman (combined fuel consumption: 6,5 – 6,0 l/100 km; CO₂combined emissions: 148 – 136 g/km according to WLTP), the MINI Cooper S Clubman (combined fuel consumption: 7,1 – 6,7 l/100 km; CO₂combined emissions: 161 – 152 g/km according to WLTP), the MINI Cooper D Clubman (combined fuel consumption: 5,2 – 4,8 l/100 km; CO₂emissions combined: 136 – 125 g/km according to WLTP) and the MINI Cooper SD Clubman (combined fuel consumption: 5,3 – 5,0 l/100 km; CO₂-Emissions combined: 139 – 130 g/km according to WLTP). The 225 kW/306 hp top athlete MINI John Cooper Works Clubman (combined fuel consumption: 7,9 – 7,4 l/100 km; CO₂emissions combined: 180 – 168 g/km according to WLTP) available in the Untold Edition.

Distinctive body features, stylish interior ambience.

The unmistakable appearance of the MINI Clubman is enhanced to a charismatic appearance by the specific design features of the Untold Edition. Stylish sportiness is signaled in particular by the bodywork finish in Sage Green metallic, available for the first time for the MINI Clubman, and the unique design of the front and rear aprons inspired by the John Cooper Works aerodynamic kit. In keeping with this, the typical MINI trimmings at the lower end of the body are not in black as usual, but in a dark shade of green for the first time. The five narrow Sport Stripes arranged parallel to each other, which run in the middle over the bonnet and the roof, are also specific features of the Untold Edition. The side scuttles, manufactured using a high-quality 3D printing process, have a specific stripe pattern. This exclusive graphic can also be seen in the logo projection emitted from the door mirrors and on the door sills.

The 18-inch light-alloy wheels in the Untold Spoke design with two-tone surfaces in the combination Jet Black/Refined Brass were also developed exclusively for the edition vehicles. The color scheme, which is based on refined brass, is also used for the surround and the cross brace of the radiator grille on the MINI Cooper S Clubman, MINI Cooper SD Clubman and MINI John Cooper Works Clubman models, as well as for the "Clubman" lettering on the split doors at the rear . A black finish for the roof and the exterior mirror caps is available as an option. Irrespective of this, the Piano Black exterior equipment with door handles, exhaust tailpipes, MINI logos and model lettering in black is an integral part of the Untold Edition.

Sports seats in the exclusive MINI Yours Leather Lounge Sage Green version transfer the characterful aura of the exterior to the interior of the edition vehicles. A particularly stylish impression of the seat surfaces is created by light-colored seams and piping as well as textile inserts in the upper and outer areas of the seat backrests. Alternatively, sports seats in the MINI Yours Leather Lounge Carbon Black variant are also available. In the cockpit, illuminated accent strips in the color sage green and exclusively designed interior surfaces with a subtle stripe pattern and green coloring are combined. The surrounds of the air vents, which are finished in refined brass, add another classy touch. An edition emblem can be found on the lower spoke of the sports leather steering wheel in nappa as well as on the floor mats.

In addition to the exclusive design scope, the MINI Clubman in the Untold Edition also offers particularly high-quality equipment. In addition to the standard equipment of the premium compact model, it also includes Adaptive LED Headlights, the MINI Excitement Package and the MINI Driving Modes as well as the anthracite-colored headliner and the lighting package for the interior.

The MINI Untamed Edition: For adventures beyond the city limits.

The largest model in the MINI brand range is also the most versatile: the MINI Countryman has established itself in the premium compact segment as a particularly stylish all-rounder. Four doors, a large tailgate, five seats and an exceptionally versatile interior with a luggage compartment volume of 450 to 1 liters ensure a high level of practicality. The optional ALL390 all-wheel drive ensures that power is distributed as required under all weather and road conditions. The MINI Countryman handles everyday traffic in the city just as confidently as it does trips that take it onto unpaved terrain. He has also secured a pioneering role on the way to particularly sustainable mobility. The MINI Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 (combined fuel consumption: 4 – 2,1 l/1,7 km; combined power consumption: 100 – 15,9 kWh/14,8 km; CO₂-Emissions combined: 47 – 39 g/km according to WLTP) thanks to its plug-in hybrid drive offers the opportunity to experience locally emission-free driving fun in city traffic and beyond. Its electric range, determined in the WLTP test cycle, is up to 51 kilometers.

The characteristic of a nature-loving adventurer is emphasized even more intensively with the new Untamed Edition for the MINI Countryman. The exclusive design and equipment features of the edition vehicles focus on the robust appearance and off-road potential. The Untamed Edition is offered for the MINI Cooper Countryman (combined fuel consumption: 6,9 – 6,2 l/100 km; CO₂combined emissions: 157 – 142 g/km according to WLTP), the MINI Cooper S Countryman (combined fuel consumption: 7,1 – 6,6 l/100 km; CO₂emissions combined: 163 – 151 g/km according to WLTP), the MINI Cooper D Countryman (combined fuel consumption: 5,2 – 4,7 l/100 km; CO₂emissions combined: 137 – 124 g/km according to WLTP) and the MINI Cooper SD Countryman (combined fuel consumption: 5,5 – 5,1 l/100 km; CO₂emissions combined: 144 – 134 g/km according to WLTP) and for the MINI Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 plug-in hybrid model.

Robust appearance, exclusive details.

With the exterior design specifically geared towards robust versatility, the MINI Countryman in the Untamed Edition encourages more than ever to spontaneously set out into nature and explore completely new roads and paths. Not only does the bodywork finish in the exclusive Momentum Gray metallic color contribute to the distinctive look, but also the MINI ALL4 exterior look, the specific decorative elements of which are also in the body colour. The harmonious coloring emphasizes the clear design language for the exterior of the MINI Countryman. The edging of the lower air inlet including the implied underbody protection and the inserts of the Air Curtains in the front apron are painted in Momentum Gray metallic, as are the side skirts and the inserts of the reflectors and the lower insert in the rear apron. And a glance at the MINI brand logos on the bonnet and tailgate shows that the black lettering and graphic elements of the emblem are also combined with a background in the vehicle colour.

Four diagonal stripes in the color Frozen Bluestone in the lower area of ​​the doors signal versatile sportiness on all journeys. A design developed exclusively for the edition vehicles distinguishes the 18-inch light-alloy wheels in Untamed 2-tone design with high-sheen surfaces. In addition to the roof and the exterior mirror caps, the roof rails and headlight housings of the MINI Countryman are also painted black in the Untamed Edition. The Piano Black exterior option, which is also part of the equipment scope of the edition vehicles, adds further black design features: the surrounds of the radiator grille, headlights, rear lights and side scuttles, the door handles, the tailpipe trims, the model logos and, with the appropriate equipment, the ALL4 emblems on the front side walls .

The side scuttles, like the door sills, feature a graphic pattern inspired by a mountain landscape and the inscription "Untamed". Corresponding lettering is also applied to the rear side windows. In addition to the inlays and the carrier plates of the side scuttles, the E logo on the tailgate of the MINI Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 plug-in hybrid model is also in Frozen Bluestone.

Green and blue tones inspired by nature dominate in the design of the interior of the MINI Countryman in the Untamed Edition. On the surfaces of the sports seats in the MINI Yours Leather Lounge version, the exclusive color Highland Green is combined with blue and green contrasting stitching. Alternatively, the equipment MINI Yours Leather Lounge Carbon Black is also available. Like the door sill trims, the illuminated decorative strip in Frozen Bluestone is printed with a landscape pattern. In this area of ​​the interior, for the first time, a large-scale graphic representation is used as a motif instead of a uniform structure. An additional effect is achieved by the lettering "Untamed" recognizable in the night design. The accent strips in the cockpit and on the center console are painted in Frozen Blue metallic, the door trim strips in Arctic Silver metallic and the surrounds of the air vents in high-gloss black.

In addition, the MINI Countryman as an edition model has emblems with the lettering "Untamed" on the seats and in the lower spoke of the sports nappa leather steering wheel, floor mats with a three-dimensional embossed landscape pattern in the style of the door sills and decorative strips, and an anthracite-colored headliner. The characteristic graphic of the mountain landscape also adorns the subtle pins in the outer area of ​​the seat backrests in a stylized form. The equipment scope of the Untamed Edition for the MINI Countryman also includes the light package, the MINI Excitement Package and the MINI Driving Modes.
