2025 MINI Cooper E - Crash & Safety Tests

Nearly 25 years after BMW successfully relaunched Britain’s best-known car, the MINI, Euro NCAP testing of the latest MINI Cooper E shows that the small car is big on safety.

With the reborn MINI, which came out in 2001, BMW set out to capture the charm and driver appeal of the original ’59 model while ensuring safety satisfied modern standards.

So, it would prove.

When Euro NCAP performed crash testing of the 2002 MINI One, it achieved a four- star rating for protection of adult occupants.

That commitment toward safety improved with the introduction of each subsequent generation of MINI hatchback – a reflection of how Euro NCAP is helping raise safety standards by setting increasingly challenging testing for vehicle manufacturers.

Now, Euro NCAP can reveal that the new 2025 MINI Cooper E successfully continues that trend of improving the popular small car’s safety standards.

The latest, electric model once again raises the level of protection it affords both adult and child occupants, and vulnerable road users (pedestrians), and scores highly for the performance of active safety systems that can help a driver avoid an accident in the first place.

The new MINI Cooper E was awarded a maximum five-star Euro NCAP rating.

It achieved protection scores of 89 per cent for adults, 85 per cent for children, 77 per cent for pedestrians (Vulnerable Road Users) and 79 per cent for its active safety systems (Safety Assist).
