The video above is from 2017, showcasing an Electric MINI concept car that showed it stuff at the Frankfurt IAA Motor Show. Will the production car look similar? Only time will tell.
It's not news that MINI is working on an all-electric MINI model to join its ranks--that's been known for a while now. The real news is that it might actually happen a lot sooner than we thought.
Starting with the standard John Cooper Works (JCW) Hardtop, a three-door hatchback MINI, the JCW Knights Edition adds numerous features, inside and out to make a bold statement.

When properly equipped, the 2019 MINI Cooper Hardtop 2-Door model has been named a 2018 Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
