The F66 & J01 MINI Cooper Appear Identical Inside
Yet Have Different Interior Layouts / Apr 15, 24
„It’s amazing that MINI has been able to create such a similar look given that the J01 and F66 MINI Coopers are based on entirely different platforms. The J01 is an EV platform that’s been co-developed by Spotlight Automotive. On the other hands, the F66 rides on an older, internal combustion platform that secretly has much more in common with the new U25 MINI Countryman.
How is that possible? Underneath the skin, the new U25 Countryman rides on an upgraded chassis based on the UKL platform (now called the FAAR) that has underpinned all MINIs since the mid 2010s. Because the F66 is a heavily revised version of the F56, itself based on the UKL, there are some technical commonalities. It’s because of this that we see shared components between the F66 and U25 like seats and a similar layout in the center stack.
The J01 & The F66 MINI Cooper – The Interior Differences
Dictated by different interior dimensions, MINI had to make some concessions with the interior in a couple areas on the J01. Because of the seats being slightly larger and place being subtly different, MINI had to use a small (but usable) armrest attached directly to the driver’s seat and tandem cupholder layout. On the other hand the F66 has more room to work with and a more traditional horizontal cupholder layout with a traditional armrest.
The F66 MINI Cooper’s angled inductive phone charger is also similar to the Countryman’s in design where the J01 has a more slim, lay-flat layout.

Das nervt schon ein bisschen, dass man da immer so festgelegt wird und Sachen hat die man nicht will und andererseits Sachen nicht hat, die man eigentlich möchte.
