The all-electric MINI Cooper was selected as the "2025 safest city supermini" in the Euro NCAP assessment. Euro NCAP is Europe's program for evaluating the safety of new cars.
MINI Korea said on the 3rd that the all-electric MINI Cooper was named among the class-leading safest models selected by Euro NCAP after comprehensively evaluating vehicles it tested last year, earning the title "Best in class for safest city & supermini of the year 2025." In safety evaluations reflecting real driving conditions, the entire all-electric MINI Cooper lineup, from SE to JCW, received five stars.
The all-electric MINI Cooper showed excellent protective performance across all four Euro NCAP assessment categories—adult occupant protection, child occupant protection, vulnerable road user (pedestrians, cyclists, etc.) protection, and safety assist—continuing its leading position in safety.
In particular, in the child occupant protection institutional sector, it scored 23.8 points (out of 24) in the frontal and side impact tests and achieved a perfect score of 12 points in the evaluation of infant car seat installation performance. In the adult occupant protection institutional sector, it recorded 15.5 points (out of 16) in the side impact test and 14 points (out of 16) in the frontal impact test, earning high marks for overall crash safety.
At the same time, the frontal collision warning and automatic emergency braking (AEB) functions also avoided collisions in most tests and received excellent evaluations. In automatic emergency braking tests targeting bicycle riders and motorcycle riders, it scored 7.8 points (out of 8) and a perfect 6 points, respectively, proving its highly reliable performance.
MINI Korea is pursuing electrification with a diverse electric vehicle lineup led by the all-electric MINI Cooper, which combines MINI's rigorous safety philosophy with top product quality, distinctive design, and an exhilarating go-kart feeling. Last year, MINI Korea filled 1,889 of its total 7,990 domestic sales—23.6%—with battery-electric vehicles, continuing its leadership not only in safety but also in electrification.
