There’s a new, leather-wrapped steering wheel across all models, while the Mini Electric’s 5.5-inch digital instrument cluster is now standard across the range.
Piano Black trim is now used on the Cooper S and John Cooper Works models’ door handles, fuel cap, and badging, with darkened lighting assemblies to match.
