And it looks better than ever, with a sharper, sleeker update to its iconic MINI design and, of course, that all-new MINI Electric feeling.
The MINI Electric is the best of both worlds, giving you the iconic character of MINI with all the benefits of going electric. Emitting zero emissions, it’s the perfect combination of sustainable driving, thrilling driving performance and iconic MINI design. The MINI Electric is reinventing urban life. It is inspired by its roots, progressive yet iconic, a true trailblazer. The car is changing the face of mobility and continues MINI’s tradition of making creative use of urban space with its eye on the future.
