MINI USA joined forces with Pantone to spotlight the Pantone Color of the Year 2025—PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse—during an exclusive event in New York City. The highlight of the evening was the 2025 MINI Cooper Convertible, presented in the year’s signature hue. Though this dazzling Mocha Mousse shade stole the show, MINI clarified that this was a one-time display of artistry and won’t be available for future production models. This collaboration marks a celebration of creativity, blending MINI’s rich history of vibrant colour options with Pantone’s global colour authority.

The event was an immersive experience, blending artistic installations and innovative design interpretations of Mocha Mousse. Attendees were treated to a multi-sensory journey that highlighted the bold, earthy tone, with the MINI Cooper Convertible standing as a testament to the transformative power of colour. This partnership underscored MINI’s commitment to individuality and the art of making a statement, echoing Pantone’s influence in shaping global design trends.

For years, MINI has celebrated self-expression through a dynamic palette of colours, from Chili Red to British Racing Green. Collaborating with Pantone was a natural extension of this legacy, reflecting MINI’s philosophy of pushing boundaries. According to Mike Peyton, Vice President of MINI Americas, the partnership was a tribute to creativity and innovation, qualities that resonate deeply with MINI enthusiasts worldwide.
The 2025 MINI Cooper Convertible exemplifies the brand’s iconic “Always Open” spirit, designed for open-air adventures and urban exploration. With its fully automated soft top, which retracts in 18 seconds, the Convertible offers the thrill of the wind in your hair at speeds up to 18.6 mph. Additions like the Always Open Timer, which tracks time spent driving with the top down, enhance the playful charm MINI is known for.
Offered in 11 eye-catching colours and two powerful engine variants, the MINI Cooper Convertible balances iconic design with advanced technology. Whether you prefer a spirited ride through winding roads or a stylish cruise in the city, the 2025 Convertible invites drivers to embrace freedom, joy, and bold expression.
