We\u2019ve already looked at what worked and what didn\u2019t for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2026\/03\/12\/bmw-global-sales-2025-how-every-model-series-stacked-up\/\">core brand<\/a>, so it only makes sense to do the same for MINI. The numbers have slightly changed since the provisional results were published at the beginning of the year, but these are the ones that will go in the books.<\/p>\n<p>As previously reported, the MINI Countryman was the best-selling product in 2025, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2026\/01\/12\/every-third-mini-sold-last-year-countryman\/\">every third vehicle<\/a> being the compact crossover. With a year-over-year increase of 15.2%, the \u201cU25\u201d racked up 93,304 units, giving it a 32.4% share of total shipments. It\u2019s particularly good news for the BMW Group because production of the model has been brought entirely in-house. While its predecessor\u2019s assembly was outsourced to VDL Nedcar in Born, the third generation is built at BMW\u2019s own plant in Leipzig.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2026\/02\/14\/adventure-focused-mini-countryman-planned\/\">Countryman<\/a> may have been the most popular individual model, but the Cooper Hatch still came out on top if we combine the three- and five-door versions. The F66 and F65 ended the year with cumulative sales of 140,301 vehicles, or 9.1% more than the year before. MINI\u2019s duo accounted for nearly half of deliveries last year with an 48.7% share. It\u2019s actually a trio since sales of the electric \u201cJ01\u201d three-door hatch were grouped with those of the ICE models.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/MINI-sales-breakdown-2025.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-511493\" title=\"MINI SALES BREAKDOWN 2025\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/MINI-sales-breakdown-2025-830x239.jpg\" alt=\"MINI SALES BREAKDOWN 2025\" width=\"830\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/MINI-sales-breakdown-2025-830x239.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/MINI-sales-breakdown-2025-768x221.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/MINI-sales-breakdown-2025.jpg 1084w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/05\/09\/mini-aceman-john-cooper-works-safety-car\/\">Aceman<\/a> took the last place on the podium with 31,625 units, a 461.5% year-over-year increase. However, the explosive rise doesn\u2019t tell the real story. Production didn\u2019t start until later in 2024, making 2025 the models\u2019 first full year on sale. Consequently, it\u2019s not really an apples-to-apples comparison. As a reminder, the \u201cJ05\u201d is the only model sold without a combustion engine. We wonder how sales would look if an ICE version were available.<\/p>\n<p>The subcompact crossover is made in China by Spotlight Automotive, a 50:50 joint venture between the BMW Group and Great Wall Motor. There had been plans to build the Aceman at home in Oxford from 2026, but that\u2019s no longer happening. The decision has also affected the electric hatchback, as the J01 won\u2019t be made in the UK either. Unfortunately, reversing these plans means there\u2019s very little chance for the two EVs to be sold in the United States.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025-MINI-Cooper-Convertible-S-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-506134\" title=\"2025 MINI COOPER CONVERTIBLE S 3\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025-MINI-Cooper-Convertible-S-3-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2025 MINI COOPER CONVERTIBLE S 3\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025-MINI-Cooper-Convertible-S-3-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025-MINI-Cooper-Convertible-S-3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025-MINI-Cooper-Convertible-S-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025-MINI-Cooper-Convertible-S-3-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025-MINI-Cooper-Convertible-S-3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The sales chart holds a nice surprise. We honestly weren\u2019t expecting the Convertible to have such a solid year. Demand jumped by 18.4% to 22,491 vehicles, which goes to show that cabriolets aren\u2019t completely dead. MINI allegedly had wanted to build an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2024\/12\/26\/mini-cancels-j03-electric-convertible\/\">electric \u201cJ03\u201d droptop<\/a> in Oxford from 2027, but that plan has also been scrapped.<\/p>\n<p>We are a bit surprised to see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2024\/02\/05\/mini-clubman-production-ends\/\">Clubman<\/a> on the list. The six-door wagon\u2019s production ended in early 2024, yet there was still enough leftover stock for 557 people to buy one last year. This only goes to show the quirky \u201cF54\u201d was a tough sell. Nevertheless, we\u2019re sad to see it gone from the lineup. Then again, the people have spoken, and they want crossovers.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, it\u2019s safe to say that MINI reaped the benefits of renewing its entire portfolio. Overall demand was up 17.7% YoY to 288,274 cars. We still think not having a gas-powered Aceman is a missed opportunity in today\u2019s SUV-hungry market. Whether it will happen is unclear, but with the Countryman getting so big, there\u2019s space in the lineup for a smaller crossover with combustion engines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article Summary The Countryman was by far the best-selling MINI last year.
