GORGEOUS looks, great tech, fun “go-kart” drive style – and all starting from £23,150.* No wonder the MINI Cooper zoomed into top spot at The Sun Motor Awards 2024.
The glowed-up legend combines iconic design with futuristic flair – sleek lines, clean surfaces and balanced proportions.
And that eye-catching restyling (as well as nifty handling) was more than enough for the judges to crown the Cooper The Sun Car of the Year.

MINI MASTERPIECE
SUN CAR OF THE YEAR wows with sharp redesign and HANDLING
The classic round headlight design features powerful LEDs with optional cornering lights, and the rear lamps have been jazzed up with a distinctive triangular design.
There’s a choice of three front and rear light signatures** and side mirror gadgets beam out a projection of the MINI logo.
The wheels are placed further apart, making the new MINI Cooper – launched this year – roomier inside and giving it an agile yet compact silhouette.
And stylish 16in to 18in alloys, made with recycled aluminium, are engineered to be lightweight.
A futuristic cabin shows off the MINI’s less-is-more design. The circular central infotainment panel is now a 240mm-wide touchscreen OLED display.
The display comes with impressive tech, functioning as an instrument cluster and entertainment hub.
Important driving functions – including gears, hazards and parking brake – have tactile toggle controls, redesigned to be easier to reach and operate.
The new steering wheel is smaller to ramp up the classic MINI go-kart vibe, with a cool fabric strap replacing the third spoke.
Entertainment, driver assistance systems and communication controls are just a click away.
Using the OLED touchscreen and MINI’s voice-activated Intelligent Personal Assistant, the bang-up-to-date MINI Operating System 9 offers a personalised hi-tech drive.
Drivers choose from up to seven “experience modes”, with ambient lighting and soundscapes to set the mood.
Go-Kart Mode gives you a more dynamic drive. Personal Mode uses your favourite photos for the OLED display background – ambient lighting automatically adjusting to the images.
Wake up the MINI assistant with the steering wheel-mounted talk button or the voice command “Hey MINI” to make phone calls, adjust the temperature, access journey information and check the weather.
Navigation comes as standard, but with seriously boosted performance. Cloud-based and intelligent, its simple destination entry saves time inputting addresses.

Route calculation is based on real-time traffic data so there are no nasty surprises along the way.
Directions are easy to follow, with navigation showing full screen on the OLED. Software updates are free.
With the MINI app you don’t even need to be in the car to use its smart features and functions.
You can plan your route before leaving home and simply ping it straight to the vehicle.
The MINI Cooper comes with three or five doors and in three designs: Classic, Exclusive and Sport. Each has an optional contrast roof and unique features with tailored details.
Classic boasts a slick high-gloss grille surround in black with the MINI logo in Vibrant Silver colour scheme, two-tone knitted material styling on the dash and doors, and perforated houndstooth pattern seats.
Exclusive’s distinctive Vibrant Silver exterior accents are set off by the “knitted” dashboard finished with recycled fabric, and smart sports seats in perforated synthetic leather Vescin.
The Sport version is race-inspired, with a jaunty front and rear end design, black and red dash and door panels, sports seats and black Vescin JCW sports steering wheel.
Sustainability is built in, with leather-free interiors and components made from recycled materials. Dashboard, armrests, seat surfaces, steering wheels and wheels all feature recycled parts, reborn in future-facing style.
The MINI Cooper is a homegrown hero too, packed with British engineering. The petrol engines are made at Hams Hall near Birmingham and the body panels in Swindon – and it’s all put together at the MINI plant in Oxford.
You can also buy an all-electric MINI Cooper and, as EV owners will tell you, it’s brilliant fun to drive.
The 2024 all-electric Cooper SE delivers head-turning looks and an impressive range of up to 249 miles on a full charge.
It has all the excitement of MINI’s legendary handling with the added oomph of electric torque.
The kit for public charging – MINI Charging Card and Mode 3 charging cable – is included.
The MINI app will help you find the nearest charging station and send the info directly to the car’s navigation system.
It will also monitor charging so you know when you can get back on the road. And on the go, the MINI Cooper SE powers up from 10 per cent to 80 per cent charge in a speedy 30 minutes.
