Renowned British fashion designer Sir Paul Smith has again collaborated with Mini to create unique models that recently debuted at the Japan Mobility Show.

And there’s good news for Kiwi because Mini NZ will have the Paul Smith collection available from quarter three of 2026.

The edition will debut with the launch of the Mini Cooper Electric, Mini Cooper 3-door, 5-door, and Convertible models.  It combines Paul Smith’s signature design language with Mini’s advanced all-electric technology. 

The Paul Smith range will have his signature in each car.

Commenting on the collaboration, Sir Paul Smith said: “It’s not often that two icons of British design work together in this way, and it’s wonderful that our partnership has lasted so many years. The Mini Paul Smith Edition has been a real privilege, offering new colours and unexpected details that will be a welcome surprise.” 

The Mini Paul Smith Edition is offered in three exterior paint finishes, two of which are edition-exclusive: Statement Grey - a modern interpretation of the 1959 Mini Austin Seven grey, with a bluish tint for timeless appeal. Inspired White - a contemporary homage to the popular Classic Mini Beige . Midnight Black Metallic – elegant and enduring, from the current MINI family.

The range will also include a Paul Smith Mini Convertible.

In addition to the colour variants, numerous details characterise Paul Smith's signature stripe, a central design feature of the British designer, which adorns the roof in Nottingham Green at the rear of the driver's side. 

The alternative version of the roof features elegant stripes in Jet Black in varying thickness, both matte and glossy. The Cooper Convertible Paul Smith Edition is supplied with a black soft top.

New Zealand pricing will be announced closer to the market launch in 2026.
