The fourth-generation Mini Cooper is unusual: two different cars under one name. The ICE Cooper (F66) is built in Oxford on the outgoing UKL platform; the Cooper Electric (J01) is built in China on a new EV platform shared with the Aceman. They look nearly identical but have slightly different exterior dimensions and boot shapes - and, more relevant here, different footwell shapes and retention patterns.

What to look for on the listing
- The listing must call out F66 (ICE) or J01 (Electric) - “Mini Cooper 2024-onwards” alone is ambiguous.
- 3-door and 5-door use different rear floor pans; buy body-specific mats.
- The Cooper Convertible is a third body variant with yet another rear footwell shape.
- JCW-specific mats are cosmetic - the floor pan matches Sport trim.
Frequently asked questions
Do earlier F55/F56 Mini mats fit the new car?
No. Both F66 and J01 use redesigned retention patterns. F55/F56 mats sit but the retention posts do not line up.
Are the 3-door and 5-door interchangeable at the front?
Front mats yes - the front footwell is shared. Rear mats absolutely no; the 5-door has a longer rear floor pan and different fixing points.
