By the Editorial Team · Thursday, July 23, 2026

Mini has launched the Oxford Edition, a special model celebrating its British roots with Union Jack design elements and multiple paint and engine options. This edition highlights the brand’s heritage by referencing its original 1959 production site and offers customers a choice between a 1.5-litre or a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine.

Mini has introduced a new special edition model, the Oxford Edition, as a tribute to the brand’s British heritage. The original Mini was first produced at Mini’s Oxford site in 1959 before the brand relaunched the iconic model in 2001.

The Oxford Edition features a distinctive design that includes a classic Union Jack roof, with the red and white stripes extending along the side of the vehicle. Customers can select from three exterior paint options: Chilli Red, Indigo Sunset Blue, and Blazing Blue. The car also comes equipped with 18-inch two-tone wheels, complemented by individually coordinated wheel hubs.

Inside the vehicle, the Union Jack motif continues with a printed flag design on the steering wheel, adding to the car’s British-themed details.

The Oxford Edition will be available with two engine specifications. The "C" model is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, while the "S" version offers a more powerful 2.0-litre unit. Pricing and additional information about the new edition are yet to be released.
