A fully camouflaged MINI was presented to the press revealing the proportions of the next MINI. The proportions are important this time around since sources say that the MINI hatch lineup will allegedly be split in two. On one side we could see a MINI hatch powered by combustion engines. Those models will be larger in size than their electric counterparts. The next MINI electric hatch is rumored to be slightly smaller than the petrol-powered models and will be produced by BMW and Great Wall Motors in China. It\u2019s also likely that the MINI electric hatch will be built on a separate platform than the petrol-powered models.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_05.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-413112\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_05-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"next generation mini cars 05 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_05-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_05-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_05-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_05-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_05.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of next generation mini cars 05 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-413112\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_05-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"next generation mini cars 05 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_05-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_05-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_05-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_05-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_05.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of next generation mini cars 05 830x553\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All other MINI hatch models will continue to be manufactured at the MINI Plant in Oxford, while the next generation MINI Countryman will move its production in 2023 to the BMW Group Plant Leipzig. MINI is assuming that electric vehicles will already make up 50 percent of total global sales of MINI by 2027. In 2025, the last new MINI model powered with a combustion engine will come onto the market. At the beginning of the 2030s, MINI will be an all-electric brand.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_07.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-413114\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_07-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_07-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_07-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_07-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_07-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_07.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-413114\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_07-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_07-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_07-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_07-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_07-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/next_generation_mini_cars_07.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Design wise, this new MINI electric hatch seems to stay true to the brand\u2019s design DNA.

The spy shots don\u2019t show the interior design, naturally, but the curved screens seen in BMW models are likely to appear as well. We expect other tech updates as well, from the latest infotainment system at BMW Group to advanced driving assistance features.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t currently have any solid information on the electric drivetrain and driving range, but we certainly expect the next generation of BMW batteries to provide more range than the current 110 miles in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2021\/06\/29\/2021-mini-cooper-se-facelift-what-has-changed\/\">MINI Cooper SE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The future of the MINI brand is electric.
