Produktion MINI J01 Electric - GWM China Spotlight Automotive - Zölle 2026 Oxford UK ?

  • nicht so toll…


    Hab das „klingt“ mal gestrichen ;)


    Meine Hoffnung schwindet und …

    Ach, das habe ich an anderer Stelle schon kundgetan :saint:




  • wenn das so kommt , ist nach den 3 Jahren Mini-Leasing schluß mit Mini ! :cursing:


    Ich hatte gehofft , daß der E-Mini irgendwann (spätestens in 3 Jahren ;) ) in Oxford produziert wird und dann hätte der nächste Mini "Aceman" heißen sollen.


    Vielleicht ist das ( keine Produktion in Oxford) der erste Vorgeschmack auf das was noch kommen könnte.

    Wenn die Kaufzurückhaltung weiter anhält, wird es auch bei BMW/Mini Anpassungen geben müssen. 8|

    Das war bei mir auch eine Option. Ich will mit meinem Kauf die europäische Wirtschaft stärken und nicht irgend eine Firma in China, die oft nach wenigen Jahren gar nicht mehr existiert.

    Ein MINI muss auch England sein. Wie ein Aston oder ein TVR. Daher schiele ich momentan nach Frankreich, die haben auch schöne, vergleichbare Autos.

  • MINI Confirms Electric Cooper & Aceman Production In The UK:
    But Questions Remain
    Feb 7, 25


    MINI has confirmed that it will build an electric Cooper and Aceman at its Oxford Plant. However that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be the J01 Cooper and J05 Aceman as we know them.


    Late last year, we reported that MINI had shelved plans to produce the current electric J01 MINI Cooper and J05 MINI Aceman at its Oxford plant. However, we were clear that this strategy shift didn’t mean MINI was abandoning EV production in the UK altogether. This week, MINI confirmed that by once again committing to building electric models at its Oxford facility with a major capital investment.


    Electric Cooper & Aceman Production Confirmed For The UK


    MINI has publicly reaffirmed its substantial £600 million investment to prepare the Oxford plant for production of two new electrified models and even named them—MINI Cooper and MINI Aceman—starting in 2026.


    On paper, this might seem to contradict our earlier reporting. But our sources remain firm in telling us that the J01 and J05, as we currently know them, will not be built in the UK. Instead, the Oxford-built electric Cooper and Aceman will undergo significant updates, with components sourced from new suppliers—enough to warrant new BMW codenames, despite retaining the same model names.


    Details on how MINI will change these models remain scarce. However, we do know there’s a pressing need to source components from suppliers and factories that are less impacted by European and American tariffs. Additionally, MINI is planning an LCI (BMW-speak for a mid-cycle refresh) to coincide with the start of UK production. Taken together, this means that the Oxford-built electric Cooper and Aceman could end up being noticeably different from their Chinese-built counterparts.

    Our Take

    This is great news for MINI fans looking for clarity on the brand’s EV plans. And it aligns with what our sources have been telling us—EVs will be made in Oxford eventually. But there are still plenty of unknowns. Just how different will these models be? Can MINI refine them to be more competitive in cost, quality, and even weight—especially against rivals like the Renault 5?

  • Breaking: Mini delays EV production at Oxford
    Electric Cooper and Aceman models, currently built in China, were due to start rolling out of UK plant next year.


    Electric car production at Mini’s Oxford plant has been delayed for an unconfirmed amount of time, with the worldwide slowdown of EV sales blamed.

    The decision was confirmed to Autocar this evening by Mini parent company BMW Group. The German firm previously announced all non-Chinese market production of the electric Mini Cooper and Mini Aceman would move to Oxford from China in 2026.


    More than £600 million has already been spent readying the factory, and the nearby Swindon body pressing plant, for electric car production. That money has chiefly funded an extension of the body shop, the construction of a new area for battery installation and new logistics facilities - the latter already built.


    A spokesperson said: “Given the multiple uncertainties facing the automotive industry, the BMW Group is currently reviewing the timing for reintroducing battery-electric Mini production in Oxford.”


    The spokesperson added that a previously announced government grant - of an unspecified amount – that was to be invested into the plant on top of BMW Group's cash will now not be taken.


    In 2024, electric vehicle sales in Europe (…)

    BMW Officially Pauses Electric MINI Cooper UK Production Plans
    Feb 21, 25


    Confirming our exclusive report from late last year, MINI has officially paused plans to produce the electric MINI Cooper and Aceman at its Oxford, UK, plant. This marks a significant shift in strategy for the brand, which had heavily invested in an all-new electric lineup built on a bespoke chassis designed to be central to MINI’s next generation.

    What’s Next For The Electric MINI Cooper And Aceman?

    Sources indicate that BMW may be looking to end its Spotlight Automotive joint venture when the J01 and J05 models reach the end of their lifecycle around 2031. This decision doesn’t just affect those models—it could signal a broader shift in MINI’s strategy. With rising global tariffs and a rapidly evolving EV landscape, BMW appears to be reconsidering its commitment to Chinese production altogether.


    This uncertainty casts a major question mark over MINI’s core lineup. The Countryman has a clear path forward, thanks to its close ties with BMW models. We expect the next-generation Countryman EV to move to BMW’s Neue Klasse platform, alongside the X1 and other small BMWs.
