The BMW group will take part in Auto Shanghai 2025, which will be operated from April 23 to May 2. Among the vehicles that carry the legendary round, the core brand will organize the public debut of the Vision Driving Experience Concept. How for mini? It all goes out by bringing its entire line -up to China. Yes, every single car that the car manufacturer based in Oxford is currently selling will be there.
This means that everything is exhibited from the three-door assembly line to the Countryman, including the full John Cooper Works area with petrol and electrical drive train and the Cooper Cabrio. While Mini had examined the idea of an electric drop, these plans seem to be in the queue for the time being. Nevertheless, the brand’s listing feels completely and offers something for almost everyone. Well, except maybe a five-door JCW slogan. While you are there, a return of the manual would make enthusiasts happy.
Come and remember that something smaller in the spirit of the Raketman concept would not hurt either. A real mini -EV that is tailored to the urban jungle and is cheaper would be a lot of sense. However, making a small electric vehicle profitable remains a challenge, so that the J01 for the time being remains the Gateway model in the electric space.
Mini had a strong start to the year, with deliveries rising 4.1% to 64,626 vehicles in the first quarter of 2025. This is no surprise when you consider that the BMW brand has essentially revised its entire line -up in 2024. In Europe, every third minis was fully electric between January and March. In China, this number jumps on one of two. In total, EVS made 35.3% of the global sales of Mini in the first quarter.
Back to the Auto Shanghai 2025 there is more to see. In addition to the entire range of cars, Mini also provides its JCW lifestyle collection alongside the John Cooper Works Countryman at the show.
