Mini has “almost finished” work on a range of significant facelifts that will herald a new era for the brand under design chief Holger Hampf. 

 

The German joined Mini from Designworks, BMW’s Californian design consultancy, in October 2024 but has yet to have an opportunity to make his mark, given how new the British marque’s range is (the Cooper hatchback and Countryman SUV arrived in 2023 and the Aceman crossover a year later).
