There's also a new intelligent personal assistant, which can be activated by saying “Hey MINI”, either taking the form of a stylised version of a MINI, or Spike, a dog-like character. MINI says Vivid mode focuses on the presentation of media content, such as the cover artwork of music being played, while there's also a Personal setting where users can upload a background photo of their choice the system will then detect the main colour from the picture and extend this across the screen to better integrate the image.

The central display – called the MINI Interaction Unit – shows a racier-looking speedo readout, while there's a different projection on the dash top.The sound signature for this setting is marked by a “pronounced pitch and fall”, MINI says, to mark the more agile and dynamic behaviour of the car.
