2022 MINI Hardtop and Convertible updates style and tech with a price surprise Chris Davies - Jan 26, 2021, 5:01pm CST The 2022 MINI Hardtops and Convertibles are arriving, and along with a style revamp there’s unexpected pricing news, particularly around the Cooper SE EV. Headed to US dealerships in mid-April, after production begins in Europe at the start of March, the changes are predominantly to the design and trim, along with the technology and creature comforts you get in the cabin. MY2022 brings a distinct change in style A MINI has always looked like, well, a MINI, but the 2022 model year brings one of the bigger changes in aesthetic we’ve seen from the brand. The front bumper and grille, the side scuttles behind the front fenders, the wheel arches, and the rear bumper have all been changed, and there are tweaks to the door handles, badging, fuel filler cap, and tailpipes.
