Next-generation MINI (F6X)

I don't know how it was possible to spoil the MINI design, but they succeeded https://www.motor1.com/news/660484/2024-mini-cooper-spied-undisguised-photoshoot-la/

Apart from the tail lights I have no problem with this. I'm also happy MINI have removed the SUV like black cladding from around the wheel arches and since it's an EV the fake bonnet scoop.

It's just a pity MINI aren't building a 5 door version of this car.

I like it a lot, way better than the current car.

It leaked more than a year ago already though, so nothing new.

Is it electric only? No way they are going to ditch the ICE version.

I don't like the engine bonnet with the normal fenders. Looks like a first gen Lupo.

There is a re-mixed F56 for ICE Last hurrah. But this is the all singing and dancing MINI e.
In Profile it seems it’s back to basics with the first MINI.

Spoil? Really?

This looks great! Heck, I could buy one!

Electric is all new AFAIK, the ICE is a development off the old one. Coming both.

Like the next 3er both NK and CLAR

Hope it has that amazing OLED screen inside, like that concept we saw earlier.

So, is this an all-new generation or another LCI?

This SE is all new, it uses a version of the Ora Good Cat chassis, it will be built in China.

I expect that the AceMan interior spied will be very much the new generation signature.
It's also getting a version of "iconic glow" probably named after a Yankee candle or something.

I liked the black cladding. It kind of took away the visual weight of the first generation. Look at those Red Bull Can MINI's to see why.

Well finally a proper leak, flashy with license plate and totally clean, filming the promo?

Changing the clam shell, removing the black plastic wheel arches, removing the chrome around the lights, (I don't know if I like all of that, as the previous one that looked small but luxurious and sporty), are small gadgets so that through from the new shut lines we perceive a new design, more "modern" or different at least, in a car that must be evolutionary because it is iconic, that is what they can afford
I think it loses a bit of its "Retro Englishness"

The sheet metal from the waist down is also all new, subtly,

It might be the first Mini that I like.
It could be a VW Mini in its simplicity.

The next step will be to get rid of the round central display. Waste of space and an eysore.

 

[SKY]

For the first time since the first BMW Mini, proportions and size are the right ones.

A lot more people order them with the black pack which removes the chrome, I kept the chrome on mine because I didn't want an all black car. When I originally ordered it I went with moonwalk grey and all the chrome blacked out.

 

[martinbo]

I think it's turned out great. Best "new" MINI in quite some time.

 

[dalab]

I'll put the hamster's food in the center of the wheel to see if he finds it

 

[SCOTT27]

Pity it’s the end of the Oyster Shell Bonnet.
