MINI announced today that a new electric car will join their lineup in the future. The new MINI electric crossover will compete in the\u00a0small-car segment. Furthermore, from 2023 onwards, the new models of the small-car segment developed for e-mobility will be produced in China. Production will be located at the newly constructed automobile plant in the east of China. MINI will use the cars produced there to meet the increasing demand in China and the other global markets for electric cars.<\/p>\n

Of course, the company is not ready to reveal the full details behind this new electric project, but we believe that this new model might be the rumored MINI Aceman<\/a>.\u00a0Back in April, CarBuzz<\/a> reported that a new MINI Aceman model might be in works. Their assumption was based on a recent name filling which reserved the \u201cAceman\u201d badge for future MINI cars. We already know that the Clubman model will be retired, so there is a gap to fill in the MINI lineup.\u00a0With MINI models growing in size over the last decade, it would only make a sense that a crossover-like variant would make its way into the new future of MINI.<\/p>\n
