The all-electric MINI Cooper SE Convertible celebrates its world premiere at Auto Shanghai 2023

10 April 2023, 06:48:08

The MINI Cooper SE Convertible is the world's first locally emission-free premium convertible in the small car segment to be presented to the public for the first time. With a limited number of 999 vehicles, it will enable MINI fans in Europe to enjoy exceptional and exclusive open-air driving fun from April 2023. Today the model debuts at the Auto Shanghai 2023. The small series is available in the colours Enigmatic Black and White Silver and emphasises the exclusive character of the limited MINI Convertible featuring edition-specific equipment details with the lettering 1 of 999. With a range of 201 kilometres determined in the WLTP test cycle, open-air excursions well beyond the city limits are possible. In addition to the all-electric drive, MINI also takes a pioneering role in the edition-specific light-alloy wheels, which are made of 100 per cent secondary aluminium. In combination with the fact that green electricity is used to produce them, CO2 emissions can be significantly reduced compared to conventional manufacturing processes.

With the MINI Concept Aceman, the brand is providing a preview of the first all-electric crossover model in the new MINI family. The concept vehicle embodies agility as well as a self-confident presence and stands for the MINI design language of the future "Charismatic Simplicity." It focuses on the essentials and reinterprets the creative use of space typical of the brand. Innovative technologies and numerous options for individualization show what digitalization at MINI could look like in the future. In addition, the MINI Concept Aceman takes the user experience in the exterior and interior to a new level by offering a wide range of options for interaction with the driver. MINI attaches particular importance to a minimal ecological footprint. The purely electric drive, a clear and reduced design language and a diverse material concept all make their contribution to this. In the interior, MINI is the world's first automaker to introduce a circular OLED display that takes up the entire surface of the central instrument. Together with the redesigned toggle switches, this results in the harmony of digital and analog controls that is typical of MINI.
