Ever since BMW has announced its plans to launch an electric model of its niche brand Mini, there was an uncertainty regarding the future of the vehicle. Mini however, wants to launch a vehicle which is as good as its predecessors. According to the global head of Mini, Sebastian Mackensen, “The electric car is not meant to just have an offering so you can say you have an electric car, but really nobody buys it. No, it’s a real car, and people will hopefully buy it.” Dubbed as Superheroes, the five models are expected to launch in late 2019.
