Mini is a small car brand produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC), now owned by BMW. Mini was considered an icon of the UK in the 1960s.
Launched in August 1959, Mini was introduced to the market under the names Austin Seven and Morris Mini-Minor. In January 1962, Austin Seven was renamed Austin Mini and Mini became an independent brand in 1969. In 1980, it once again became Austin Mini and in 1988 it was renamed Rover Mini.
Under BMW’s “reign”, the Mini has undergone technical changes but still retains the classic 4-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. The Mini brand officially entered Vietnam in October 2013 through BMW Euro Auto as the distributor. At that time, four Mini models were introduced to the market, including Cooper, Cooper S, Countryman, and Countryman S.
On January 6, 2022, THACO officially launched 5 new Mini models including Mini Cooper 3-Door, Mini One 5-Door, Mini Cooper Convertible, Mini John Cooper Works 3-Door, and Mini John Cooper Works Convertible.

Comparison of Mini Car Prices for Each Segment
Based on the latest car price list, with unique designs and prices ranging from 1.5 to 2.73 billion VND depending on the variant, Mini cars can be considered to belong to a distinct, niche segment in the Vietnamese market. People who are buying Mini cars are usually looking for a compact, stylish, and unique car that stands out from everything else on the market.
Conclusion
As one of the most famous car brands in history, Mini is not widely popular in Vietnam due to its high price and distinctive style that may not appeal to everyone. The Mini car price list shows that it is in the luxury car price range, similar to some Mercedes-Benz or Audi models. This is also a factor that makes Vietnamese consumers less likely to choose Mini cars.
Note: Mini 2023 refers to Mini cars produced in 2023, not the model year of the product.
