MINI Paul Smith Edition 2026 – An Iconic Staple for Modern Britain’s Automotive Industry

Joining MINI’s illustrious 2026 model offerings, the MINI Paul Smith Edition delivers a unique and eye-catching collaboration that just makes sense. The partnership between MINI and Paul Smith is a decades-old synergy that effortlessly combines class, quality, and impeccable attention to detail. 

Continuing the legacy from these two iconic brands’ first collaboration in 1998, the new 2026 MINI Paul Smith Edition offers a modern yet classic twist. Rooted in a shared spirit of craftsmanship, this edition isn't just a car - it’s a piece of wearable art for the road.

Two Legends, One Lane 

There are few things as recognisably British as a Paul Smith suit or the silhouette of a MINI. When these two forces unite, the result is a celebration of the best of us. This collaboration honours a shared history of meticulous detail and creative courage. It’s a reminder that when you mix old-school legacy with modern innovation, you get something genuinely extraordinary. 

For 2026, Sir Paul Smith has introduced exclusive exterior colours that pay homage to British heritage. Statement Grey reimagines the classic Austin Seven, while Inspired White offers a contemporary nod to vintage aesthetics. Each is complemented by Nottingham Green accents on the mirrors and grille - a tribute to the designer's hometown.

The Paul Smith Edition trim level will be offered exclusively across the MINI Cooper family, ensuring that your preferred driving style is draped in designer flair. The Paul Smith Edition is available in: 

  • 3-door, 5-door, and Convertible variants 

  • All-Electric (J01) models 

  • Internal Combustion (F66/Cooper C and S) models 

Note: This exclusive trim is available across the core Cooper range but excludes John Cooper Works (JCW) variants. 

Inside, the "classic with a twist" philosophy truly shines. You’ll find a bespoke knitted dashboard, Nightshade Blue sports seats, and the iconic Paul Smith Signature Stripe subtly woven into the fabric of the car. Look closely and you’ll even find a hand-drawn rabbit mascot on the floor mats - a playful touch that adds a finer detail.
