The F56 MINI Cooper is the last ever internal combustion Cooper model from the brand. Because of that MINI is carrying on the tradition of a few classic colors we’ve known for years. But there’s also a few surprises and one completely new color we’ve never seen before in the range.
There are two solid colors (Chili Red and Sunny Side Yellow) and eight metallic colors to choose from. We expect the JCW Legend Grey to eventually show up with the JCW reveal in October and perhaps a unique launch color with the F67 Convertible around the same time.
The F66 2025 MINI Cooper Model Range
Produced in Oxford, the F66 will take over as the F56 ends production in February of 2024. That means we’ll see the first F66 MINI Coopers roll off the line next March as the plant begins it’s pivots into a new generation of MINIs.
The F66 MINI Cooper Family | Drivetrain | Start of Production |
F66 MINI Cooper | 155 HP (Petrol) | 03/2024 |
F66 MINI Cooper S | 200 HP (Petrol) | 03/2024 |
F66 MINI Cooper JCW | 231 HP (Petrol) | 11/2024 |
F65 MINI Cooper 5 Door | 155 HP (Petrol) | 07/2024 |
F65 MINI Cooper S 5 Door | 200 HP (Petrol) | 07/2024 |
F67 MINI Cooper Convertible | 155 HP (Petrol) | 11/2024 |
F67 MINI Cooper S Convertible | 200 HP (Petrol) | 11/2024 |
F67 MINI Cooper JCW Convertible | 231 HP (Petrol) | 03/2025* |
As you can see above the changeover will happen in three phases. The first is the iconic two door Cooper which is be available at launch in Cooper and Cooper S models (the Cooper C Comes to the US in the fall). Next will be the five door F65 MINI Cooper launch in both Cooper and Cooper S models. Finally the brand will launch its last F66 variant, the F67 convertible in Cooper and Cooper S models. We believe the JCW F67 will either launch simultaneously or follow in March of 2025.
The highly anticipated F66 MINI Cooper JCW will likely launch this fall and begin production in November.
Head over to our first hands-on experience with the all new F66 MINI Cooper if you want to hear our initial impressions. And make sure to let us know what you think of MINI’s last ever ICE powered Cooper in the comments.
I love the colors. Glad to see some old favorites, as well as some new ones. I especially like the vibrant colors, like Blazing Blue, British Racing Green, Chili Red, and Sunny Side Yellow. Too many vehicles these days are just neutral colors. Booooriiiiing. Maybe it’s because manufacturers are charging extra for the brighter colors. Is MINI doing this, too?
If I had to pick a neutral color Melting Silver does look a little shinier than the standard matte silver of other vehicles. Kind of gives me Dragon Quest Metal Slime vibes, which is always a good thing in my book.
Do you know what trim the Blazing blue will show up on or if Trina will be the same in the US? The uk configurator makes options seem so limited with color availability.
I like that ocean blue color has a good shine to it.
It’s interesting to see which colors they show with white roofs and which colors are shown with black roofs. I would hope you can still choose the roof color you prefer. There are still lots of details and I look forward to using the configurator to see how they can be built.
I’m a lifelong enthusiast of Mini and MINI, but at the risk of sounding unkind, the F66 reminds me of an ageing movie star who has just had a rather questionable third Facelift!
If only the plastic wheelarch cladding had been omitted, and the recessed door handles had been added. Why discriminate on the F66 and, presumably, on the F65 and F67.
Looks a bit underwhelming, most are the same colours from f56. Are these the new ones or you’re just repeating the lineup from f56? Because in the first sentence you say “f56 is the last ice…” while f66 is, so that is wrong from the start.
Legend Gray is missing…
I noticed it’s listed in some markets but not all.
It’s a shame because classic colors aren’t very attractive, and not many people want red or yellow
