Anniversary Model Distinguished by Exclusive Logos



The "MINI" was born in 1959. Its unique driving feel, known as "go-kart feeling," and its charming style have been loved for 60 years.

The limited-edition "60 Years Edition," commemorating its 60th anniversary, is based on the MINI 3 Door and MINI 5 Door, expressing a unique personality rooted in its British heritage.

The body colors include British Racing Green, reminiscent of classic British racing cars, along with Midnight Black Metallic and Moonwalk Grey Metallic. The roof and door mirror caps are finished in Pepper White, creating a striking contrast.






Additionally, a special logo featuring a "60" design in a stripe motif is placed in various locations. This logo appears on the bonnet stripes and side scuttles, as well as through a logo projection that illuminates the driver's footwell when the doors are unlocked. Furthermore, the 17-inch exclusive alloy wheels feature a unique design with a stripe motif similar to the logo.

The interior features leather seats and a sports leather steering wheel, with the 60th-anniversary logo also present on the seats, steering wheel, and interior panels. The specifications clearly convey that this is an anniversary model at first glance.






Safety features include the Camera & Parking Assist Package and Cruise Control, along with special equipment such as front heaters and an LED light package. The "Cooper S" and "Cooper SD" models are also equipped with Active Cruise Control.

The prices for the special edition models are as follows: "Cooper 3 Door" MT is 3.82 million yen, AT is 4.00 million yen; "Cooper D 3 Door" is 4.17 million yen; "Cooper S 3 Door" MT is 4.09 million yen, AT is 4.28 million yen; "Cooper SD 3 Door" is 4.45 million yen; "Cooper 5 Door" is 4.16 million yen; "Cooper D 5 Door" is 4.35 million yen; "Cooper S 5 Door" is 4.44 million yen; and "Cooper SD 5 Door" is 4.63 million yen.
