The 2025 Mini Cooper has been redesigned, but will retain the Oxford Edition available as part of the lineup of previous-generation models, Mini confirmed Thursday.
Available with the 2-Door and 4-Door hatchback body styles, the Oxford Edition will be produced in limited numbers, but those customers who can get their hands on one will pay thousands less than the normal base price of a 2025 Mini Cooper while getting comparable features.
The Oxford Edition gets 18-inch alloy wheels (on summer tires) in place of the 17-inch wheels of the base Signature grade, and three paint options: Sunny Side Yellow, Nanuq White Metallic, and Blazing Blue Metallic. Inside, the Oxford Edition features a combination of synthetic leather and cloth upholstery in a two-tone grey and blue pattern.
Aside from design-oriented features like wheels, paint and upholstery, though, feature content doesn’t differ much from the Mini Cooper Signature. Features like a panoramic sunroof and park assist, for example, are already standard on that lower grade.
Expect the Oxford Edition to have the same powertrain as the base Mini Cooper as well. That’s a 2.0-liter turbo-4 rated at 161 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and front-wheel drive. Mini still offers a Cooper S, with a more powerful version of the turbo-4 producing 201 hp and 221 lb-ft, and has engineered the current-generation Cooper to accommodate an all-electric powertrain. But the BMW-owned brand has pumped the brakes on bringing the latest Cooper EV to the U.S.
The 2025 Mini Cooper Oxford Edition costs $26,125 and $27,125 in 2-Door and 4-Door forms, respectively, including a $1,175 destination fee. That’s $3,820 less than the Cooper 2-Door Signature and $4,000 than a 4-Door Signature model. But while the Signature is a regular-production trim level, the Oxford Edition will be capped at a limited number of units (a number Mini did not specify).
Customers interested in ordering an Oxford Edition can reserve one now with a $100 refundable deposit. Production is expected to start in March.
