The Mini Cooper Electric wins the “Best in Class 2025” award and establishes itself as a benchmark in safety.
The Mini Cooper Electric has been named “Safest City & Supermini of the Year 2025” by Euro NCAP at the Best in Class Awards 2025. The 100% electric model had already achieved the maximum five-star rating during Euro NCAP crash tests in March 2025, confirming its leading position in safety within the premium city car segment.
This distinction is based on the evaluation of occupant protection systems and driving assistance features. The range includes three versions: Cooper E, Cooper SE, and John Cooper Works Electric. All combine electric architecture, extensive standard safety equipment, and advanced assistance technologies to limit the risk of accidents, especially in urban environments.
Times are changing
The Euro NCAP results are revealing: 89% for adult occupant protection, 87% for child safety, 79% for driving assistance systems, and 77% for pedestrian and cyclist protection, which is a remarkable score for this segment. The institute also highlights the effectiveness of the seatbelt pretensioners, reinforced structural protection, and the integration of active and passive safety systems.
