Mini India has opened pre-bookings for the Mini Cooper Oxford Edition, a limited-run version of the three-door hatchback. It arrives in Cooper S form, and pricing has not been announced yet. Pre-bookings for the Mini Cooper Oxford Edition can be made at any Mini sales touchpoint. Mini launched the Cooper S GP Inspired Edition, another limited-run model, in May at Rs 58.90 lakh.

The 2.0-litre four-cylinder direct-injection turbo-petrol engine makes 204hp and 300Nm, the same output as the standard Cooper S. Power goes to the front wheels through a seven-speed DCT. Mini claims 0-100km/h in 6.6 seconds and a mileage of 16.82km/l.

Mini Cooper Oxford Edition - Exterior, Interior & Features

The Mini Cooper Oxford Edition edition pays tribute to Oxford, where the original Mini was first built in 1959 and where BMW Group has produced the modern Mini since 2001. Union Jack elements run through the exterior and the cabin.

The Oxford Edition is offered in Indigo Sunset Blue or Chilli Red, with Glazed White outside mirrors. Union Jack-inspired stripes run across the bonnet and tailgate, and a Union Jack sticker sits on the roof.

A crossed Union Jack and chequered-flag sticker marks the boot lid. The 18-inch dual-tone alloys carry blue and red centre caps and Union Jack valve caps. Circular LED headlamps, the octagonal grille with segmented strips, S badging and LED tail-lamps with Union Jack signatures are carried over from the standard model.

Inside, the Mini Cooper Oxford Edition has JCW Sport-spec seats in black upholstery and a grey-and-beige fabric trim. The dashboard is largely similar to the standard model's. Union Jack details appear on the floor mats, steering wheel rim, infotainment display and key fob. The door sills carry 'Oxford' lettering in blue and red.

A 9.4-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a panoramic glass roof, a Harman Kardon sound system, auto AC, a wireless phone charger and a heated steering wheel are on the equipment list. The front seats are powered, and the driver's seat adds memory and massage functions. On-board navigation, connected car tech and OTA updates are also included.

Safety kit covers Level 1 ADAS, dual airbags, front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, a tyre-pressure monitoring system and an auto-dimming interior rearview mirror.
