The MINI Paul Smith Edition takes centre stage in Tokyo, where it’s being unveiled during the BMW Group Keynote on 29 October at 09:55 (JST). This special edition renews a storied partnership between MINI and British designer Paul Smith, a thread that runs from the striped Classic Mini of 1998 through the 40th-anniversary one-off, the pared-back MINI Strip and the electrified Recharged project. The latest car carries that creative DNA into a fresh, production-ready statement with the cheeky stance and neat proportions that made the original Minis so distinctive.
MINI’s stand at the Japan Mobility Show underscores the breadth of the current range. The all-electric MINI Cooper SE showcases the familiar go-kart feel with a 218 hp powertrain, while the Cooper 5-door S adds everyday versatility without losing its nimble footprint. For wind-in-the-hair motoring, the Convertible keeps things light and responsive, staying true to the brand’s “Always Open” spirit.
Performance fans get a taste of the John Cooper Works Aceman, a compact, all-electric puncher delivering 258 hp from a 54.2 kWh battery and the kind of immediate response that suits tight city streets as much as a flowing back road. At the other end of the brief, the Countryman S ALL4 brings space and traction for longer journeys, pairing MINI’s tidy packaging with all-weather confidence.
Paul Smith’s influence has always been about crisp lines, clever colour and a sense of fun that doesn’t drown out function. This latest Edition channels that approach into a modern MINI that looks ready to dart through Tokyo traffic yet smart enough for the spotlight of a global show floor. With more than 130 exhibitors gathered at Tokyo Big Sight from 29 October to 9 November, the MINI Paul Smith Edition stands out as a confident blend of British style and compact-car engineering.
