The electric version of the current MINI has been a huge success. The new version is set to bring more refinement and extra range - but we have to wait until next year to get it in the UK

    “Forget the crazy camo on this test car - the new model will have looks which are a big departure for MINI. It will still be instantly recognisable, but there's nothing retro about it - especially at the back.”

    Ginny Says

    “I really love the current MINI Electric and it sounds as though the new version will have useful upgrades to the range and refinement. It's a shame it will be built in China rather than down the road in Oxford though.”

    When will the new MINI Electric be launched?

    Expect it to be seen in the spring of 2024. 

    Is the 2024 MINI Electric worth waiting for?

    The current MINI Electric is one of our favourites, but it does have a limited range. The new model will go much further between charges.

    Why is the 2024 MINI Electric being built in China?

    It is part of a complex plan the company has to make the brand more profitable. The current Oxford plant will make petrol versions and an expanded range of electric SUVs and an MPV. The Electric will use parts shared with the Ora Cat from BMW's joint venture partner Great Wall.

    What is the range of the 2024 MINI Electric?

    The technical details haven't been released in full, but we reckon between 190 miles for the smaller battery and 250 miles for the bigger power pack. 

    Will you be able to get the new MINI Electric with five doors?

    Yes, there will be all sorts of new models including an SUV and MPV.
