MINI Paul Smith Edition Pricing Announced Ahead of US Debut in Los Angeles

[DimON]

MINI held the Americas reveal of the Paul Smith Edition at the Paul Smith flagship store on Melrose in Los Angeles, with Sir Paul Smith and MINI Design Chief Holger Hampf both on hand. We’ve been covering this one since October, and if you want the full breakdown, our buyers guide has everything you need. The US debut brings the market-specific information that matters most: which body styles are coming here, how it’s priced, and when you can order one.

Three variants are confirmed for the US: the Cooper 2-Door, 4-Door, and Convertible. Electric models are not included. The collaboration with Paul Smith now spans nearly 30 years, beginning with a limited-edition classic Mini in 1998, and this is the most widely available version of that partnership yet.

MINI Paul Smith Design Recap

The exterior palette includes two exclusive colors alongside Midnight Black Metallic. Statement Grey reinterprets the 1959 Austin Seven’s original hue with a blue tint. Inspired White draws from classic MINI Beige. Nottingham Green, developed as a direct nod to Sir Paul’s hometown, runs as an accent color across all variants on the mirrors, grille, and wheel hub covers. It also anchors the optional roof treatment, which pairs it with Paul Smith’s multicolor Signature Stripe. A matte and gloss Jet Black stripe roof is available as a quieter alternative. All models ride on 18-inch Night Flash Spoke Black alloys, and Paul Smith’s personal signature appears on the rear handle strip. See how it looks in the real world here.

Inside, Nightshade Blue Vescin sport seats and a knitted black treatment on the dashboard and door panels set the tone. The steering wheel gets a Signature Stripe textile band, and three exclusive Paul Smith backgrounds are available in Personal Mode on the round display. A “Hello” projection activates on the floor when you open the door. “Every day is a new beginning” runs along the door sill. A hand-drawn rabbit motif by Paul Smith appears on the floor mat. Hampf specifically called out the projection and the handwritten details at the reveal as things designed to make you smile when you get in — which, given the broader conversation about where MINI’s interior is heading with the LCI, feels like a deliberate statement of intent.

MINI USA Pricing and Launch Date

The 2026 MINI Cooper Paul Smith Edition is a $1,400 package that requires Iconic Trim as a prerequisite, which adds $4,100. In other words think it as a $5,500 package that you’d add on a Cooper C or Cooper S. And no, it will not be available with the JCW Style or on the full Cooper JCW model.

Model	Base MSRP	Iconic Trim	Paul Smith Edition	Total
MINI Cooper 2-Door	$29,500	$4,100	$1,400	$35,000
MINI Cooper S 2-Door	$32,800	$4,100	$1,400	$38,300
MINI Cooper 4-Door	$30,500	$4,100	$1,400	$36,000
MINI Cooper S 4-Door	$33,800	$4,100	$1,400	$39,300
MINI Cooper Convertible	$34,600	$4,100	$1,400	$40,100
MINI Cooper S Convertible	$37,900	$4,100	$1,400	$43,400

At $1,400 for the Paul Smith package itself, the ask is modest given the level of detail involved. The real number to factor in is the $5,500 when you include the required Iconic Trim. Still in our eyes Pre-orders open June 3 at miniusa.com, with US deliveries expected to begin in early August.
