The news of the domestic pure electric version of MINI has a long history, and a few days ago, the car buyer learned of a set of new car road test spy photos, indicating that it may be officially launched within this year.
Judging from the spy photos, although it is covered with thick camouflage, it can still be seen that its overall shape basically retains the appearance of traditional fuel MINI, such as the ultra-highly recognizable circular headlights. However, what is different from the fuel version is that the light group has added two layers of design, which looks more technological.
The body side of the pure electric MINI is still the classic proportion, but it is reported that the size of the pure electric version of the MINI will be reduced to a certain extent, and the actual look and feel may appear lean. In addition, the new car adopts a semi-hidden door handle that is different from the fuel version, of course, this is the normal operation of pure electric models, and reducing wind resistance is justice.
Judging from the camouflage photos, the rear of the car is almost exactly the same as the fuel version of the mini, but there have been non-camouflage photos exposed before, and the actual taillights do not continue the shape of the British flag, but an inverted triangle shape. As for which shape will be used in the final mass production car, let's wait and see.
The interior style of the pure electric version is very simple, although the same as the model 3 cancels the instrument, the front of the steering wheel only provides a HUD head-up display of realistic driving information, but the middle continues the circular central control screen, as well as the aircraft lever button, still inherits the style of the car system, and does not completely homogenize the current pure electric smart car.
Many people will worry that the domestic version of the pure electric mini is the product of the shell Euler, and the author believes that everyone does not need to worry about this. Although BMW and Great Wall cooperated with Beam Car as early as 2018, the future domestic mini will also be born in this joint venture company.
However, it should be noted that the "beam car" is not a car company, it is only responsible for the production of vehicles, but including design, electronic control and motors, all of which are contracted by BMW. As for the reason for the establishment of this joint venture, the author guesses that it is because BMW looks at the sales resources of the Great Wall and the localization of China's local power battery supply chain.
