MINI Unveils 2026 Lineup with Fresh Style, Smarter Tech, and More Personalization

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 11, 2025 – MINI USA has revealed its 2026 vehicle lineup, and fans of the iconic brand are in for a treat. From fresh styling upgrades to smarter digital tech and more ways to personalize, the new offerings continue MINI’s tradition of driving fun, design flair, and driver-focused innovation.

Style Meets Performance: JCW Package Now Available Across More Models

MINI is expanding the reach of its performance-inspired John Cooper Works (JCW) Style package. For the first time, all Cooper S and Countryman S models can sport this $1,200–$1,400 upgrade, adding dynamic flair with:

  • A JCW Aero Body Kit
  • Exclusive wheels
  • Dynamic Damper Control
  • Paddle shifters and enhanced brakes when paired with the Iconic Trim

This move lets more MINI enthusiasts enjoy the signature JCW look and feel—without having to jump to the full JCW model.

More Freedom to Personalize with Sport Stripes

Customization takes center stage with expanded Sport Stripe options. For 2026, customers can pair Black Sport Stripes with a variety of roof and mirror cap colors, depending on trim level:

  • JCW Style with Iconic Trim: Jet Black or body-colored accents
  • Classic or Favoured Style with Signature Plus or Iconic Trim: Jet Black, Glazed White, Multitone Blue, or body color

Sport Stripes remain an optional add-on at $250—perfect for drivers who want that extra splash of individuality without any compromises.

Bold New Wheels at No Extra Cost

MINI Countryman S ALL4 gets a sporty style boost with a new 18” Asteroid Spoke wheel in black—and best of all, it comes standard with Signature Plus or Iconic Trim at no additional charge. Paired with all-season tires, these wheels complement the Countryman’s adventurous spirit while offering practical performance year-round.

Smarter Access with MINI Digital Key Plus

Kicking off with production starting July 1, 2025, MINI introduces a new digital key system on most 2026 models (excluding Convertibles). The MINI Digital Key Plus lets owners unlock and start their vehicle via smartphone, combining:

  • One physical key fob
  • A setup card
  • A service card

Convertibles retain both physical fobs but now include the new cards, offering a hybrid key experience. This shift is part of MINI’s push toward intuitive tech that fits seamlessly into modern lifestyles.
