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.

In terms of performance, the 1.6-litre powertrain produces 121hp, with a top speed of 127 mph, resulting in a 0-62 mph in 9.3 seconds, making the One perfect for first-time drivers. The car will begin production in July 2026, with first customer deliveries expected in Q3 2026.

On top of the above changes to Cooper models, MINI has also announced model updates to the rest of the range, from July 2026. Indigo Sunset Blue paintwork will now be available for all trim levels of the MINI Cooper Electric, meanwhile Blazing Blue will be offered on all petrol-powered MINI models, as well as the MINI Aceman in Classic and Exclusive trim levels.  

To further increase the individuality of each MINI, different interior colours are newly available to a range of models. Beige Vescin seats in combination with black knit on the dashboard and door cards will be available on every model in Exclusive, Sport, or JCW trims. Meanwhile, Brown Vescin seats in combination with black knit on the dashboard and door cards will be offered on both petrol and electric versions of the MINI Countryman when specified in Exclusive trim.

MINI Connected, previously only available via the online store, is now included for the first four years after initial purchase on all Level 2 and Level 3 cars. This additional functionality gives customers access to key additional features such as real-time traffic and congestion updates, without active route guidance. Also included will be more detailed visuals of complicated junctions, as well as 3D buildings within navigation. Another key perk of MINI Connected is the access to AirConsole games and video streaming when stationary.
