2025 MINI Hardtop: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

The 2025 MINI Hardtop is fully redesigned, marking the debut of the new F66 2 Door and F65 4 Door generations in the U.S. This is a big-change year, led by the new cabin with its circular central display.
About the 2025 MINI Hardtop
All-new F66/F65 Hardtop family, first U.S. model year for this generation in 2025.
The 2025 MINI Hardtop is MINI’s small, premium hatchback built around compact size, distinctive design, and the brand’s trademark go-kart feel. In 2-door form it is the classic, city-friendly MINI formula; in 4-door form it keeps that personality while adding easier rear-seat access and more everyday usefulness. MINI positions it as a stylish alternative to ordinary small cars, with more personality, upscale cabin design, and unusually generous standard features for its size.
The Cooper remains the city-friendly entry model, while the Cooper S has a more athletic character and the limited Oxford Edition emphasizes useful comfort and safety features. Signature versions add conveniences such as remote start, keyless entry, and wireless charging, while the later-arriving JCW 2 Door brings sport seats, upgraded brakes, adjustable dampers, and premium audio.

2025 MINI Hardtop Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2025 MINI Hardtop.
“The quality of the vehicle is OUTSTANDING! The technology is top of the line as well as the interior and exterior. I'm absolutely thrilled with the interior and all of the “extras“! The heated steering wheel as well as the driver seat massage is wonderful for my long commute. The craftsmanship of the interior is the highest quality. There's so much technology. I think I discover something new and wonderful every day!”
“The JCW is a super fun vehicle to drive. There are hot hatches with more power, but you don't need any more. MINIs in general are very distinctive and drive differently than other hot hatches. The "go-kart handling" characteristic of MINIs is very real!”
