The 2018 MINI Cooper comes with a modified design for the characteristic circular headlights. In the standard halogen headlights, a striking accentuation is added by means of a black panel. In the LED headlights which are available as an optional equipment, the high-quality technology is underscored by means of an entirely new design of the light sources.
The LED daytime driving light and the turn indicator light are generated by a ring which surrounds the entire contour of the headlight. The new MINI model lineup is also offered with the adaptive LED headlights which automatically adjust their brightness to the situation on the road.
The rear lights also feature a new design in conjunction with the LED headlights and the adaptive LED headlights. The upright light units at the rear of the new MINI 3-door, the new MINI 5-door and the new MINI Convertible now appear in a Union Jack design.
The cars also come with the new MINI logo which is clear and authentic in style. It appears on the bonnet, tailgate, steering wheel, central instrument display and remote control in all models. The new MINI logo is a re-interpretation of the existing logo and now features a two-dimensional flat design and reflects the new brand identity with its focus on the essentials – namely key values such as driving fun, distinctive design, premium quality and emotional appeal.
Inside, the 2018 MINI 3-door, MINI 5-door and MINI Convertible get a new three-spoke steering wheel with multifunction buttons. A sports leather steering wheel, a MINI Yours sports leather steering wheel and a John Cooper Works leather steering wheel are optionally available as well.
