Firstly, there has been a shift towards electric and hybrid Mini Cars in response to increasing environmental concerns and government regulations promoting cleaner transportation. This trend is particularly evident in countries like Japan and South Korea, where government incentives and subsidies have encouraged the adoption of electric vehicles. Secondly, there has been a rise in the popularity of compact SUVs in the Mini Cars segment. These vehicles offer the practicality and versatility of SUVs in a smaller package, appealing to customers who desire a combination of space, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
