MINI Malaysia Unveils New All-Electric MINI Paul Smith Edition: British Icon Meets Electric Innovation
MINI Malaysia has officially launched the New All-Electric MINI Paul Smith Edition, bringing together two legendary British brands in a design-led expression tailored for style-conscious urban drivers. Available in limited numbers, this special edition marks the latest chapter in a collaboration that spans nearly three decades.
A Historic Partnership Reimagined for the Electric Age
The New All-Electric MINI Paul Smith Edition builds on a creative partnership that began in 1998 with the original classic Mini Paul Smith Edition. For the first time, this iconic collaboration is available on a broader production scale, combining British heritage style with the thrill of electric driving.
Benjamin Nagel, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia, shared:
“The New All-Electric MINI Paul Smith Edition represents something truly special – a meeting of two iconic British brands that have been pushing creative boundaries for decades. Through BIG LOVE, MINI has always stood for individuality, creativity and playfulness, values that are mirrored perfectly in Paul Smith’s ‘Icon with a Twist’ design philosophy.”
He added:
“We are offering something that feels both distinctly British and thoroughly modern – a fusion of heritage design and electric innovation that speaks to everyone who values style, substance, and sustainability. This is not just another special edition; it is the culmination of a creative partnership that began nearly three decades ago, now reimagined for the electric age – and now available to our passionate MINIacs in Malaysia.”
