The fully electric MINI Cooper continues to set benchmarks in safety and innovation, earning the prestigious “Best in Class for Safest City & Supermini of the Year 2025” at the Euro NCAP awards. This recognition follows the model’s 5-star rating in the Euro NCAP crash tests earlier this year, cementing MINI’s reputation for uncompromising safety in the premium small car segment.
Safety Meets Signature MINI Driving Pleasure
Available in three variants – the MINI Cooper E, MINI Cooper SE, and MINI John Cooper Works Electric – the electric MINI Cooper blends cutting-edge drive technology with the brand’s celebrated go-kart-like handling. Beyond performance and design, the model is distinguished by its comprehensive standard safety equipment, reinforcing MINI’s commitment to protecting both drivers and passengers.
Jean-Philippe Parain, Head of the MINI brand, commented:
“We are very pleased about yet another accolade for the MINI Cooper Electric, which has just won the Euro NCAP Best in Class. This award confirms that MINI models offer outstanding safety. The MINI Cooper, alongside the MINI Countryman and MINI Aceman, have all achieved maximum star ratings, reflecting our dedication to delivering driving pleasure with the highest safety standards.”
A Holistic Approach to Safety
Euro NCAP highlighted MINI’s consistent progress in occupant protection, active and passive safety systems, and advanced driver assistance technologies. The fully electric MINI Cooper incorporates an integrated safety concept, including pelvic seatbelt pretensioners and an extensive suite of assistance systems designed to prevent accidents before they occur.
Protection extends beyond occupants, with the MINI Cooper achieving an impressive 77% score for pedestrian and cyclist safety – a notable accomplishment for its class. Other standout results include 89% for adult occupant protection, 87% for child safety, and 79% for safety assist systems, underscoring MINI’s holistic approach to urban mobility safety.

Combining top-level safety, dynamic driving enjoyment, and the unmistakable MINI design, the second generation of the fully electric MINI Cooper offers a compelling choice for modern city drivers. It demonstrates that small, electric vehicles can deliver both excitement and reassurance, meeting the demands of today’s urban mobility landscape with confidence and style.
