What Owners Say

Balanced

Owners Love

  • First MINI purpose-built as an EV with proven BMW iX1 dual-motor AWD technology and 313 hp output
  • Owners praise the new MINI OS 9 navigation system, one-pedal driving, and driving assist modes
  • Circular touchscreen display is innovative and the first fully-usable design of its kind

Watch Out For

  • Styling is controversial and considered generic compared to previous generations, lacking distinctive MINI character
  • Front end proportions appear elongated and clumsy, with some comparing it unfavorably to ordinary sedans and the Ford Flex
  • Charging speeds are modest at 100-130 kW DC, below current industry standards

Owner Tips

  • Use Shell Recharge integration or third-party NACS adapters like Lectron Vortex Plus to enable Plug & Charge on compatible networks like IONNA and Tesla
  • Inspect interior trim carefully during purchase, particularly in Favored trim models, and examine official photos to verify proportions before committing
  • Avoid ChargeForward if relying on scheduled charging with battery preconditioning, and have a backup payment method ready as Plug & Charge can fail at some networks
