The visual three-part division into the vehicle body, surrounding window area and contrasting roof ensure the new MINI models are instantly recognizable. The surfaces look particularly exciting thanks to an integrative treatment of details.

The new interior experience is mainly created by the textile surfaces. A specially developed knitting process is used to create the easy-care, versatile structure of the two-tone textile. The dashboard and door panels are completely chrome-free and leather-free, using recycled 2D knitted fabric lining. The textile surface is made luminescent by ambient lighting and projections from the MINI Interaction Unit that make even rush hour relaxing. The new multifunction steering wheel adds to hallmark MINI go-kart feeling.
