2025 MINI Cooper
What's New With the 2025 MINI Cooper
The MINI Cooper has always embodied the spirit of individuality, charm, and fun—qualities that have defined the brand for generations. With the arrival of the 2025 MINI Cooper 3 Door, MINI introduces a completely reimagined version of its signature compact car. Offered in three distinctive trims—the Cooper C, Cooper S, and John Cooper Works—the latest generation preserves the hallmark driving enjoyment MINI fans expect while enhancing comfort, digital functionality, and design. It's an icon redefined for the modern era, now on sale and ready to turn heads wherever it goes.
Exterior
The 2025 MINI Cooper debuts with a fresh, minimalist approach that reduces visual clutter in favour of clean, confident lines. While unmistakably MINI, this generation introduces a newly shaped octagonal front grille and full LED headlights featuring three selectable light signatures: Classic, Favoured, and JCW. Each of these can be paired with animated welcome and departure displays, adding a sense of personality to every journey.
At the rear, new triangular taillights distinguish the Cooper from anything else on the road, while details like flush door handles and sculpted surfaces give the car a refined, forward-thinking appearance. Light alloy wheels ranging from 17 to 18 inches—crafted from recycled aluminium—underscore the Cooper's blend of sustainability and sportiness. A panoramic glass roof and optional Multitone roof options complete the look, ensuring the MINI continues to express individuality from every angle.
Interior
Inside, the MINI Cooper transitions to a more open, refined, and technology-forward layout. The centrepiece of the dashboard is a striking 9.4-inch circular OLED display—the first of its kind in the industry—serving as the main interface for infotainment, navigation, and vehicle settings. This crystal-clear screen is backed by the new MINI Operating System 9, offering intuitive control via touch or voice.
The dashboard and door panels are finished in sustainable textile materials, while MINI's signature toggle switches have been redesigned for improved ergonomics. The cabin is now entirely leather-free, aligning with MINI's sustainability goals, and all seating surfaces are crafted from high-quality, recycled materials. Standard across the range, the heated steering wheel introduces a new two-spoke design with a fabric loop replacing the traditional lower spoke—a nod to MINI's design heritage.
In the rear, the 60:40 split-folding bench allows for up to 725 litres of cargo space when folded flat, making the compact Cooper surprisingly practical for everyday tasks and weekend getaways.
Powertrain
Performance
Under the hood, the 2025 MINI Cooper offers two distinct personalities. The standard Cooper C features a turbocharged 3-cylinder engine designed for efficiency and responsive urban performance. For those seeking greater thrills, the Cooper S is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 201 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque—an upgrade that brings noticeably sharper acceleration and dynamic handling.
Drive
Whether in Cooper or Cooper S guise, both models benefit from MINI's trademark low centre of gravity and short wheelbase, which contribute to the famously engaging "go-kart" handling. The suspension tuning has been refined to offer better ride comfort without compromising agility, and steering remains sharp and communicative. The John Cooper Works model further enhances this with performance-tuned components and visual upgrades.
Technology
Technology in the 2025 MINI Cooper isn't just advanced—it's intuitive and integrated. The new central OLED display is powered by MINI OS 9 and acts as the command centre for everything from media and navigation to vehicle settings and climate control. Users can interact via touch, rotary controller, or by saying "Hey MINI," which activates the Intelligent Personal Assistant—a digital companion that allows natural voice control over core functions.
MINI Experience Modes transform the cabin atmosphere with dynamic lighting, soundscapes, and visual themes projected across the dashboard. From "Timeless" to "Vivid," these modes can be selected to suit your mood or driving context. The navigation system has also been upgraded with real-time traffic data, 3D city views, and route calculation based on live cloud-based processing. The colour of the map display even changes to match the selected driving mode.
Remote services, such as pre-conditioning the interior using the MINI App or via the key fob, are included as standard. The system also supports over-the-air updates, ensuring your MINI stays current long after you drive it off the lot.
New Versions
With the launch of the 2025 lineup, MINI offers three distinct versions of its iconic 3-door model. The entry-level Cooper C provides efficiency-focused drivers with a stylish and fun-to-drive compact. The Cooper S builds on this with increased power and sportier tuning. At the top of the lineup sits the John Cooper Works, the most performance-oriented MINI ever built, blending aggressive styling with advanced chassis upgrades.
Each model offers extensive customization options, including multiple interior themes, wheel designs, roof finishes, and digital enhancements like animated avatars for the Intelligent Personal Assistant. MINI continues to explore electrification options, and although the electric Cooper E and SE are available in select markets, the gasoline-powered variants remain the core of MINI's performance-focused offering in Canada.
