In contrast to the sparingly equipped original Mini, the Mini Remastered features electric power-assisted steering, air conditioning, electric start/stop button, remote central locking, full LED lighting and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple® CarPlay®, satellite navigation, 3G, 4G, Bluetooth® and DAB connectivity.[1] In addition, the vehicle is available in twelve exterior colours and three for the roof.[2]

The Mini Remastered is available globally in both left-hand and right-hand drive.

Engines

The Mini Remastered is powered by a 1275cc A-Series engine, except for the Monte Carlo edition, which uses a 1330cc version.[2]
