MINI has launched the Cooper Oxford Edition in India, a special edition celebrating 25 years of modern MINI. It was unveiled at the newly opened MINI dealership in Lucknow, MINI Speed Motorwagen. The car comes as a completely built-up unit (CBU) priced at ₹55,50,000 (ex-showroom). Bookings are open at all MINI India authorised dealerships, and deliveries begin immediately.
The edition honours Oxford, where the classic Mini was first built in 1959 and where BMW Group has produced the modern MINI since 2001. The 3-door Cooper carries a Union Jack on its white contrast roof, and the flag’s red and white stripe runs along the body. A crossed-flags boot sticker combines the Union Jack with a chequered racing flag. It comes in Indigo Sunset Blue or Chili Red, with white mirror caps and 18-inch two-tone Slide Spoke wheels. Inside, the Union Jack theme appears on the steering wheel, door sills and floor mats. The driver-side mat has a circular Union Jack, and the passenger-side mat has a chequered flag.
The cabin has a 240 mm circular OLED touchscreen running MINI Operating System 9, a “Hey MINI” voice assistant, a head-up display, a Harman Kardon sound system and a Fisheye Camera for selfies and videos. It also has a Digital Key Plus, panoramic glass roof, JCW sport seats in recycled black upholstery, and MINI Experience Modes such as Go-Kart, Green and Vivid. The dashboard and door panels are free of leather and chrome, using recycled knitted fabric.
A petrol TwinPower Turbo engine makes 150 kW (204 hp) and 300 Nm. MINI says the car goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds and has a top speed of 242 km/h, with a 7-speed double-clutch automatic. Safety features include airbags, dynamic stability control, ABS, a rear-view camera and a tyre pressure indicator.
Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO of BMW Group India, said, “Oxford occupies a unique place in the story of MINI – It is where our journey began and continues to this day. With the MINI Cooper Oxford Edition, we bring a piece of that legacy to India, paying tribute to a rich heritage that spans generations. This special edition embodies the brand’s distinctive spirit, expressive design and playful individuality, while proudly showcasing its British roots. The Oxford Edition is created for customers who value authenticity, character and the timeless charm that has made MINI a cultural icon across the world.”
