The 2024 MINI Cooper<\/a> is one of the BMW Group\u2019s upcoming cars that I\u2019m most excited for. There hasn\u2019t been a genuinely new MINI in quite some time and it\u2019s going to be very interesting to see how the next-generation cars turn out. Not only is it going to look new but it\u2019s going to usher in a new era for both MINI and the BMW Group, as the former transitions into a fully-electric brand over the next decade. In these new spy photos, you get to see a bit more of its new design. (We don\u2019t own the spy photos but you can see them here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

One of the main new things you can see in these photos is the new taillight design. It seems as if MINI ditched the Union Jack taillight design of current MINIs, which makes sense as it\u2019s a bit played out at this point. However, the shape of the taillights is similar to current MINIs, with a simple squarish design. Interestingly, the MINI hatch lacks visible exhausts, which is unusual for a gas-powered MINI. It isn\u2019t an electric model, either, as it lacks the required \u201cElectric Test Vehicle\u201d badges.<\/p>\n

Despite its new design language, the 2024 MINI clearly looks like a MINI. Revolutionary design changes were never in the cards for the MINI, as it\u2019s a brand whose design recognition is second to none, so big changes aren\u2019t exactly a good idea. However, we\u2019re hoping for some interesting design changes, as that\u2019s where current MINIs are really getting stagnant.<\/p>\n

Inside the new MINI, we\u2019re also interested to see how BMW\u2019s iDrive 8.5 is adapted. MINI always uses a version of BMW\u2019s iDrive with its own user interface and graphics but iDrive 9 will be very different from the iDrive 7 system that\u2019s used in current MINIs. Plus, climate controls are built into iDrive 9, which will change some of MINI\u2019s current interior design a bit.<\/p>\n

I personally can\u2019t wait for the next-gen MINI Cooper, as it\u2019s going to be the last of the gas-powered MINIs. There will be electric versions as well but the gas-powered cars will be the end of the line for combustion engine MINIs.<\/p>\n
