One of the questions I am asked most often is “What do all the different packs mean on a MINI?”
With so many different options and packs available over the years, it can be confusing to know exactly what you are getting.
At Drivewise , we thought we would put together this simple guide to explain the most common MIni packs and what they typically include.
The packs and equipment can vary depending on the MIini model, generation and year, but this guide should give you a good understanding of what each pack is designed to offer.
So, whether you’re looking at a MIni One, Cooper, Cooper S, Countryman, Paceman or Clubman, hopefully the information below will make choosing your next Mini a little easier.

One important point: MINI changed the contents of its packs over the years, so the name of a pack doesn't always mean exactly the same equipment on every model.
We hope this guide helps explain the Miniterminology and makes it easier to compare different cars. If you're unsure about a particular Mini, I am always happy to help you understand exactly what specification it has.
