A Minor Refresh For MINI One, MINI One D, MINI Cooper And MINI Cooper S
Published: 23rd April 2004
MINI One
The MINI One and MINI Cooper also get a re-designed front and rear bumper. At the front, the bumper has been lowered, while at the rear, the rubbing strip has been split with the fog light re-positioned neatly between the two halves (previously the rubbing strip was a single unit with the fog light above). Reversing lights are now integrated into the newly designed rear light clusters.
Two new metallic exterior paint colours will be introduced from July – Astro Black (replaces Cosmos Black) and Black-Eyed Purple (replaces Indi Blue). Another new metallic colour, Hyper Blue, will be reserved for Cooper S models. Electric Blue will be extended as a colour option on all models with the exception of the MINI Convertible range. This means that there is a choice of 10 exterior colours for every MINI in the range.
The interior
All MINIs will receive the following ergonomic improvements:
- New storage area
- New ‘coin tray’ area under the handbrake
- Larger rear cup holder
- Door armrest with improved ergonomic grip
- More spacious door bin for improved storage
- Additional side mounted sun visor for driver
- Improved side support from seat bench side bolsters
- Addition of passenger grab handle above window
- Larger rear view mirror
- Clock repositioned from headlining to central instrument panel
- Improved interior ambient lighting
- ISOFIX and CD preparation as standard
- Rev counter (previously not standard on MINI One)
A new ‘body coloured’ trim has increased MINI Cooper S interior trim choices to five. Colours available are Chili Red, Liquid Yellow, Electric Blue and Hyper Blue. Alternatively customers can choose from silver, anthracite, alloy patina, and wood.
Prices have been moderately increased by an average of 2.5 per cent across the range to reflect the new additional specification. The price increase is effective on all cars produced from 1 July 2004. Adjusted MINI prices are as follows:
| MINI One | £10,780.00 |
| MINI One D | £11,695.00 |
| MINI Cooper | £12,100.00 |
| MINI Cooper S | £15,180.00 |
- Prices shown are on the road prices
- The refreshed MINI model range will make its UK debut at Motor Show Live on 25 May - 6 June at the Birmingham NEC.
