Mini Cooper Oxford Edition adds some nice extras to the base-model hardtop, with a thoroughly reasonable price too.

The modern Mini Cooper has always appealed to a certain type of person. Small yet premium, sporty not shouty, and with a strong whiff of manufactured kitsch, BMW’s Oxford-built hatchback aims for yuppies but lands more with older folks as a third or fourth car.

While the brand isn’t known for cheap and affordable cars, they’re bringing back the Oxford Edition for 2025. It’s a new entry-level Cooper that starts at $24,950 for the 2-Door and $25,950 for the 4-Door. Both are a considerable savings as the 2-Door currently begins at $28,950, while the cheapest 4-Door option is the $33,200 Cooper S.
