BMW unveiled at the NextGen event a new concept of what could be a mini electric truck under its Mini brand.
Through this new concept, the company is trying to explore how the design of the electric minivan could look in the electric and independent future.
The new concept, called Mini Vision Urbanaut, aims to provide more interior space and multiple uses than ever before, but within a small space.
If the Mini Vision Urbanout concept becomes a reality, the mini-truck will have more interior space than any other Mini, and it's probably the most comfortable way to get around the city.
The new car seems to be more of a design exercise than a concept that could actually lead to an electric car production program for BMW.
The concept gives an idea of what cars might look like when designed from the ground up, with self-driving and electric propulsion in mind.
BMW wrote about the concept: Since Mini Vision Urbanaut was initially designed as an electric vehicle with automated driving functions, it provided designers with a greater level of freedom when creating exterior and interior design.
Mini Vision Urbanout features three core modes, Chill, Wanderlust and Vibe, so that the interior and exterior of the car move to reflect.
Oliver Heimer, Head of Design for the Mini Brand, said in a statement: "Chill mode invites you to stop a little, so that the car becomes a kind of retreat within which you can relax or work in full focus during the journey.
"Wanderlust is the only mode where Mini Vision Urbanaut is driven or driven with automated driving functions, while Vibe's mode focuses on putting other people at the forefront across all roads.
You can switch between the three modes by placing the play key in the relevant slot, and Mini suggests you might be able to set up your own modes with custom music, ambient lighting, fragrance, etc.
You will be able to turn the car into a living room when parked, the dashboard can be turned into a day bed, and you can open the windshield up stairs to create a balcony.
The back of Mini Vision Urbanaut appears to include a quieter area with a so-called comfortable corner with a built-in table with a plant in the open central area.
Besides comfort, Mini takes into account sustainability, and says mini Vision Urbanaut uses recycled materials without leather or chrome, and the main material inside will be knitted textiles.
At the same time, mini Vision Urbanaut has one side door and rotating and folding seats.
