Who Makes the Mini Cooper?
The iconic British brand Mini has a long history, both in the U.S. and across the pond. Its history in the U.S. market started in the 1960s with the importation of tiny cars manufactured by British Motor Corp. After a long hiatus, the brand was purchased and modernized by BMW and reappeared in 2002 with the compact Cooper two-door hatchback.

What Cars Are in the Current Mini lineup?
The Mini lineup currently includes:
Mini was an early experimenter with battery-electric powertrains, having fielded hundreds of modified Mini Es in test fleets. The brand currently offers the all-electric Mini Countryman SE All4, which has an EPA-estimated range of up to 212 miles on a full charge and charges from 10% to 80% in less than 30 minutes with a DC fast charger.
On the performance side, Mini also offers regular and sporty S trim levels of many models as well as the higher-performance John Cooper Works versions.
Starting in 2025, the Countryman is now built in Germany on BMW production lines, marking the first time a Mini model is manufactured entirely in Germany.
