The best all-round way to go high-tech
At the heart of the new all-electric MINI Cooper’s advanced tech is a true innovation: MINI’s first-ever fully circular touchscreen.
Designed to evoke the iconic round dials of the original 1960s Mini, this large 9.5in interactive display uses state-of-the-art OLED technology to deliver bold colours and super-crisp super-clear graphics – making it even easier to access and interact with all the features and settings you’re looking for.
It’s powered by MINI Operating System 9, which is simple and intuitive to use, and uses always-online 5G connectivity to ensure you’re getting the latest navigation, traffic and charging information from the cloud.
The upper half of the touchscreen always displays key vehicle information such as speed, range and battery status, which can be tapped for quick full-screen visibility. The lower half permanently shows your climate controls alongside essential shortcut buttons to navigation, media and phone calls, car settings and other apps.
The centre of the all-electric MINI Cooper’s circular touchscreen is where the real magic happens. You can quickly swipe through the widgets for MINI Navigation, hands-free calls, or your preferred music and podcasts using wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone connectivity – as well as widgets for essential car information and weather. Then, you simply tap the app and it goes full-screen.
