Next MINI Cooper EV To Go R50 Retro And Rear Wheel Drive
Aug 18, 26BMW development boss Joachim Post has confirmed to Autocar what MotoringFile has been circling for the better part of eighteen months: the next generation MINI Cooper EV is a genuine candidate for rear wheel drive. Asked directly about the possibility, Post didn’t deny it. He said BMW would choose “the optimum for the package” and that “sheer driving pleasure” is the priority for future models. For a brand that has been front driven since 1959, that’s about as close to a confirmation as a BMW executive gets before the decision is locked.

Next Mini Cooper to be inspired by 2001 'R50' – and could go RWD
Shift to BMW's Gen6 platform would be a landmark moment for the Mini; brand will choose "optimum" layoutMini has started work on the next-generation Cooper, which is due in the coming years bearing the most significant transformation since BMW took charge of the marque three decades ago: a shift from front- to rear-wheel drive.
Bosses promise, however, that the new car will remain rigidly true to the brand's roots.
The current hatchback arrived in 2024 with the choice of both petrol and electric power - the latter then one of the few small EVs on sale. Its only true rival was the Fiat 500e, but it was also priced to compete with larger alternatives such as the Peugeot e-208 and Cupra Born.
A whole swathe of electric superminis have arrived since, however, with many - such as the Renault 5 and Fiat Grande Panda - offering comparable style, dynamics and kit plus more range for similar money.
Mini has responded with price cuts, and a facelift is due in the next couple of years to freshen up the Cooper - but the pressure is piling on as a wave of new entrants muscle in on the small EV segment, with models including the Volkswagen ID Polo, Cupra Raval and Kia EV2.
Combined with the might of Chinese newcomers such as BYD and Geely, that competition has forced the most radical rethink of Mini's trademark model in generations.
"We have started to work on the next generation of Mini, and what follows now is a look at the entire portfolio," new design chief Holger Hampf confirmed to Autocar, explaining that he will use a wave of facelifts and new derivatives in the meantime to set the tone for the British brand's future.

Wow, das Heck rot/schwarz ist wunderschön

Dein Mini ist doch nur unwesentlich älter (4 Wochen etwa, meinen habe ich Ende Juni übernommen)?
Produktion war bei mir Mitte Q1/2026 und Übernahme vor 3,5 Monaten.

Auf/auch diese Version?
Bei mir kam gestern (!) ein Update,
Navigation 2.16.24.
… hat aber, zumindest bei mir,
wohl nichts gebracht. -
Werde am Wochenende mal die Navigation für mir bekannte Routen nutzen und schauen, ob der Effekt dauerhaft ist.
Habe heute die identische Strecke zu gestern
zurückgelegt. Gestern war der Fehler da,
heute nicht …
Ob da das GPS (was auch immer alles standort-
basiert ausgetauscht wird …) zeitweise nicht
richtig funktioniert?
