The drop-top Mini light car was only on sale for two years before the facelifted version hit Australian showrooms in July 2018.
Automatic versions gained a new seven-speed dual-clutch unit as a no-cost option, while exterior updated included new headlights, brand badging, exterior colours and wheels.
Inside, a new 6.5-inch infotainment touchscreen is added that bundles wireless phone charging and Apple CarPlay, as well as satellite navigation with real-time traffic updates and Mini’s Connected services.
Three grades were available at launch, including the Cooper, Cooper S and top-spec John Cooper Works (JCW).
