Mini has confirmed it will reveal an all-electric three-door concept at next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show, which will provide a glimpse into its first production EV that’s due in 2019.

Mini is holding its cards to its chest in relation to powertrain details, except to say the single-motor, pure battery-electric set up will be ‘very powerful’ and promises ‘exciting driving dynamics’ on urban and rural roads with a ‘maximised range’.

Headlights and tail-lights are also all-LED, with the latter each forming half a Union Jack in a dot matrix.

Parent company, BMW says the Mini Electric Concept offers a “window into how pure-electric, day-to-day mobility might look in the years ahead” with BMW Board of Management Member, Peter Schwarzenbauer adding that it’s “great fun to drive while also being completely suitable for everyday use – and producing zero emissions to boot”.

This year, Mini started selling its plug-in hybrid Cooper SE Countryman All4, but the super-frugal SUV model is yet to be confirmed for Australia, as are any of BMW’s EV models that will start rolling out in 2019.
