Design details of next Minis revealed


BMW has revealed design highlights of the next generation Mini model family, which features what the designers say is a 'reduced design language', writes Brian Byrne.

Sustainability and connective ability will be key elements of the new generation, while a number of cues from the current and past Minis will be given a future focus.

External changes will include redesigns to the wheels that both provide visual impact and improved aerodynamic performance.

Inside, the traditional central circular cluster that was originally the speedometer gets a new Oled touchscreen which uses the full circular space.

A new steering wheel, seats, and trim materials are among the few elements so far revealed in a heavily-camouflaged prototype. More as things are revealed.
