KUALA LUMPUR: The new all-electric MINI Paul Smith Edition marks the latest chapter in a successful collaboration between MINI and legendary British designer Paul Smith.
Available in limited numbers, this special edition brings Paul Smith’s iconic “Icon with a Twist” design language to the all-electric MINI Cooper SE.
The recommended retail pricing (on the road, without insurance) for the new MINI Paul Smith Edition is RM222,222.
The price tag will be RM228,522 with MINI Service and Repair Inclusive (consists of the four-year extended warranty and service package).
With the Easy Drive Financing from BMW Group Financial Services Malaysia, the MINI Paul Smith Edition's monthly instalment plan starts from RM2,367 (based on 75% loan on a five-year tenure).
BMW Group Malaysia managing director Benjamin Nagel shared, "Through Big Love, MINI has always stood for individuality, creativity and playfulness, values that are mirrored perfectly in Paul Smith's ‘Icon with a Twist' design philosophy. What makes this edition so significant is that for the first time, this celebrated collaboration is available on a broader production scale, bringing Paul Smith's unmistakable creative vision to more customers than ever before.”
The MINI Paul Smith Edition is adorned with Nottingham Green accents on key exterior elements, such as the side mirrors, the octagonal radiator grille, and the hub caps.
These unique touches are complemented by the roof, which comes in Nottingham Green colour accompanied by the Paul Smith Signature Stripe feature across the roof edge between the B- and C-pillars.
Fitted with 18-inch Slide Spoke alloy wheels in Dark Steel accent colour, which are also finished in Nottingham Green and feature the Paul Smith logo, this edition stands out with its bold design.
Before entry, the exclusive mirror projection of a friendly “hello” in Paul Smith’s handwriting welcomes the driver and passenger.
Additional details like the MINI Black Band and the MINI logo in Black Blue, as well as the Anthracite Grey “Paul Smith” lettering on the tailgate, further highlight the exclusivity.
The interior is enriched with Nightshade Blue JCW Sports seats in Vescin upholstery.
The seats feature a Shadow Stripe knit section on the shoulder and headrest areas.
Another standout feature inside is the Shadow Stripe upholstery that stretches across the full width of the instrument panel.
The upholstery material has a consistent colour throughout, but alternating finishing directions create a special stripe design inspired by Paul Smith’s Signature Stripe.
Meanwhile, the door sill cover strip greets with the uplifting message “Every day is a new beginning!” in Paul Smith’s handwriting, while his familiar hand-drawn rabbit motif embroidered into the floor mat adds another signature style.
On the steering wheel – which takes on a traditional three-spoke design – a textile band with the iconic Paul Smith Signature Stripe provides a lively splash of colour, offset by the Paul Smith brand logo.
Additionally, the MINI Interaction Unit offers three exclusive backgrounds designed by Paul Smith for Personal Mode, with the colourful Signature Stripe subtly integrated at the upper edge of the display, creating a unique and personal experience.
The MINI Paul Smith Edition delivers 218hp and 330Nm of torque, and acceleration from 0 to 100kph is in 6.7 seconds, with a top speed of 170kph.
Its 54.2kWh battery provides a zero-emissions range of 387 to 402km, with DC charging at up to 95kW, bringing the battery from 10 to 80 per cent in just under 30 minutes.
The MINI Paul Smith Edition is with introductory colours of Inspired White and Statement Grey, which are developed exclusively for this edition.
