A few weeks ago we gave you a preview of the 2023 pricing and equipment updates with CarPlay becoming standard across all models. This week we’re back with full pricing and equipment changes across the range. The big news? MINI USA is holding the line on almost all prices.

For the 2023 Model Year, MINI USA raised the price of only the Cooper variants by $500, and kept pricing unchanged for the remaining model variants. This is the second year in a row that MINI has aggressively held the line on pricing.
