ALL-ELECTRIC DRIVING FUN

The new electric MINI will be ready to hit the roads in a matter of months.

The next generation of the MINI family is now being launched with the MINI Cooper Electric. The new edition of the iconic MINI three-door is geared towards electric driving fun and is available at two power levels.

In the new MINI family, full torque is available from the getgo in both the MINI Cooper E with an output of 135kW and the MINI Cooper SE with 160kW. It accelerates without delay and without shift interruptions. The lithium-ion high-voltage battery is installed in the floor for optimum road holding and weight distribution, while also increasing the vehicle’s stability and agility. In this way, MINI redefines the brand’s hallmark go-kart feeling, consistently perpetuating the concept of urban driving fun that has been so successful for more than 60 years. The battery capacity in the MINI Cooper E is 40.7kWh, while in the MINI Cooper SE it is 54.2kWh. This gives the new models a predicted range of between 300km and 400km.

Together with the MINI Countryman to be produced at the BMW Group Plant Leipzig from November 2023, the new MINI Cooper Electric is all set and ready to go for the all- electric future of MINI. The MINI Aceman will complete the new model family from 2024 onwards. ✤
