Reforged Automaker Designs

Mini Announced a New Design Language Named 'Charismatic Simplicity'

Mini announced a new design language for its upcoming electric vehicles named 'Charismatic Simplicity.' This design language brings hardtop electric vehicles and more diverse vehicles from Mini's lineup. With Charismatic Simplicity, Mini hopes to both simplify its design and simultaneously differentiate between its many vehicle models more strongly.

The new design language will also bring more modernized designs to the brand with monochrome colorways and geometric shaping on the body of the cars. In addition to a visual redesign, Charismatic Simplicity also brings a new focus on sustainability for the automaker. This sustainability will come from removing single-use and unrecyclable materials such as leather, chrome, and abundant plastics.

The first vehicle to be released under the new Charismatic Simplicity language is an electric hardtop that will enter the market in 2023.
