MINI Vision Next 100 revealed

Today's MINI is the perfect premium compact car for the modern city. Digitalisation and connectivity are increasingly changing the way we get around on a daily basis and this change is taking place most rapidly and noticeably in urban areas. The MINI Vision Next 100 is MINI's answer to several key questions on urban mobility over the years ahead.

The core philosophy behind the MINI Vision Next 100 is the thoughtful use of the planet's resources in providing personal mobility. The motto 'Every MINI is my MINI' describes a particular take on car sharing. In the future, fans of the brand will be able to call on a MINI tailored to their personal requirements where ever they are, day or night. The MINI of the future will be available 24/7, able to pick its driver up from their desired location in a fully automated way and will adapt itself to the driver's individual tastes, interests and preferences. At the heart of this concept is connected digital intelligence.

Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design, describes MINI's vision for the future, "MINI looks to offer smart and bespoke mobility in cities that engages all the senses. And in the future, you might not actually have to own a vehicle to enjoy the benefits."

The MINI Vision Next 100 pays homage to MINI's iconic design by positioning the wheels in the far corners of the vehicle, maximising handling and feel. The vehicle sports a stunning, transparent front end, giving the driver an unprecedented sense of freedom and speed. The design also allows projections to be beamed in view, providing an even more dynamic driving experience. The Cooperizer, a colored translucent circular instrument in the centre of the car and is the heart and mind controls the driving mood, offering a gentle, relaxed drive or sports mode for a supercharged experience.
