RocketMAN is a concept car created by the MINI brand as early as 2011, positioning the smallest size entry-level MINI model. RocketMAN's mass production news has always been confusing, and the BMW Group has always been undecided about it for two reasons. First, due to the small size of rocketman, BMW's UKL front-drive platform is not suitable, and there has been news based on the Toyota IQ platform, but there has been no substantial progress. Great Wall MINI is about to be domestically produced and is expected to be listed in 2022, with a unique appearance
From the perspective of the world is currently vigorously pushing new energy vehicles, the domestic market is also occupied, MINI as a German brand, in terms of quality workmanship is still very good, plus import taxes, etc., the overall calculation is actually not as good as buying a joint venture car, cost-effective, but considering its body appearance, the overall small and exquisite cute, plus 99% of it belongs to the little sister to drive, of which 1%, for men will choose. And this domestic new energy "cake", MINI also wants to find a piece!
The new car basically maintains the previous design style, and the configuration has been adjusted, the whole series is equipped with 8.8-inch touch screen, CarPlay and CarLife mobile phone interconnection, electric folding/heating exterior mirrors, full LCD dashboard, panoramic sunroof, LED headlight expansion, sports leather steering wheel and other configurations, and the high-end model can also be equipped with electric tailgate, keyless entry system, Nappa leather sports steering wheel and other functions.
The wheel hub design is also very good, and the colorful trim with blackened wheels makes the fighting atmosphere very strong. In addition, the front and rear bumpers and side skirt trim strips can be selected according to their own preferences in different colors (three colors to choose from). You'll have to look down and you'll find that its CORSS flavor is particularly strong, really like a miniature pure electric SUV!
Although the original Rocketman concept was planned to be powered by a three-cylinder gasoline engine and a diesel engine, it is now planned to develop only an electric version. The MINI Rocketman electric vehicle will be part of BMW's layout to achieve 25 all-electric and hybrid models by 2023, and it is also another product after MINI's first pure electric vehicle model, the MINI Cooper SE.
