Simply say “Hey MINI” or use the steering-wheel-mounted push-to-talk button and you can see your voice commands appearing on the touchscreen display, so you can be sure it understands what you’re saying. You also get the option of having a friendly animated dog ‘Spike’ to guide you through your choices.
Using MINI’s enhanced voice recognition, you can control navigation, music and podcasts, hands-free phone calls and other key vehicle functions. The system also learns your behaviours, regular routes and uses geo-based data to make things even easier – such as automatically opening the window when entering a car park. You can even ask it to tell you a joke.
Headlights: new tech, same magical look
Finally, the circular headlights of the original Mini helped it become a pop culture icon recognisable worldwide. More than 60 years later, the new all-electric MINI Cooper has put its own spin on those unmistakable lights.
Up front, the striking new octagonal grille is framed by bright LED headlights that will even give you a cheeky wink when you press the lock button twice.
At the rear, a fresh triangular interpretation of MINI’s Union Jack rear LED lights works with the front LED daytime running lights to offer three uniquely orchestrated light signature animations – giving you the perfect welcome greeting or look-back-with-longing farewell for your car.
