The Mini Cooper concept was originally unveiled at the Frankfurt International Motor Show in September 1997, whilst the Mini marque was still a part of the Rover Group, owned by BMW, where it was intended to replace both the classic Mini and the larger Metro/100-series . The Mini Cooper Hatch was the first model launched by BMW under the new MINI marque that was created following BMW's divestment of the Rover Group in 2000, and the classic Mini's discontinuation that same year. The new model built by BMW is technically unrelated to the former.

The Mini Cooper is produced in Cowley, Oxfordshire, England, at Plant Oxford, and, since July 2014, at VDL Nedcar (the former DAF/Volvo plant) in Born, Netherlands.[1] The Mini convertible is, since 2015, only assembled in The Netherlands.

The first new generation Mini Cooper Hatch was introduced in late 2000, being the first model launched under the Mini marque after the original Mini Cooper was discontinued in the same year. In some European markets, the Mini One was powered by a 1.4-litre (85 cu in) inline-four version of the Tritec engine,[6] but all other petrol powered Minis used the 1.6-litre (98 cu in) version.[7][8] From 2004 through 2008, the soft-top convertible R52 was made.

There are numerous styling and badging differences between the models, including the Cooper S having a distinctive scoop cut into the bonnet. The Cooper S also has twin exhausts which exit under the centre of the rear valance. The non-S Cooper has more chrome parts than the Mini One and has a single exhaust. The Mini One D has no visible exhaust pipes at all.

In some markets, such as Australia and the US, only the Mini Cooper and Cooper S are offered. Other trim lines of note, sold in varying markets around the world, are the Mini Seven, Mini Park Lane, Mini Check Mate, and Mini Monte Carlo.
