Yeah, the J-series will be available starting in 2024... but (at least in this market) we call that the 2025 model year.I don’t think the '24 is the J-series, it’s still an F56 AFAIK.
I'm pretty sure in the UK the model year and production year are the same. Which makes sense in some ways, but it also means a 2013 hardtop in the UK could be either an R56 or an F56.I wonder if in the UK they call it the 2024 or 2025 MINI.
Sometimes they do things a bit differently (like including the hatch in the door count for the "3-door hardtop").
Definitely still the F56, you can tell by the current tail lights. The J01 is supposedly to be unveiled in November, so I guess in the US it will be a 2025 model if it makes it here. It is interesting if you go to the MINI USA build page all trims of the SE have a "limited availability" disclaimer.
Why would it take a year? Do they drive your SE and then say, "I dunno..."? I'd use the limited availability warning to spur them to buy now rather than regret later.Bummer. I was hoping to have another year to convince friends that the Cooper SE is the EV to purchase. But with limited availability, that's probably not the case.
I think in the US we'll call it the 2027 or 2028 model year.Yeah, the J-series will be available starting in 2024... but (at least in this market) we call that the 2025 model year.
