The change will better align the modern MINI’s aesthetic to that of the 1958 classic Mini.Īutocar also confirmed the rumors we’ve been hearing that the new electric MINI will not have a gauge cluster and instead will rely on the massive center screen we previewed a few weeks back along with a heads-up display. If that sounds familiar it’s because we heard a preview of that design philosophy from Head of MINI Design Oliver Heilmer last year.

This leaked photo gives us a view of what Autocar can’t – that massive circular screen intended to act as both the cluster as well as the infotainment. The aim is to reduce the design to what matters and rely less on chrome and stylistic flourishes. Inside, we got a peek behind the camouflage and saw that the new Mini takes inspiration from the Strip concept, with a much more minimalist design ethos. What they found was a car that was been comprehensively rethought to be electric from the ground up.Īs always Autocar was there and has some interesting early impressions.
