Once a Mini, always a Mini
The fourth generation of the Mini, since the rebirth of the model in 2001 under the BMW Group, brings a new and necessary approach, in which the electric version is built on a completely new platform and the petrol version is an evolution of the outstanding previous generation.
Smaller than its predecessor, the new Cooper E marks the beginning of the electric range and manages to be more modern and at the same time more in line with the original Mini, taking up less space on the road but with more than enough room for four adults inside.
The 9.4-inch circular centre OLED screen dominates the entire dashboard, enclosing all the infotainment and safety functions.
Behind the wheel, the Mini Cooper E keeps the brand’s legacy alive, with performance in keeping with its segment and the ever-important dynamics typical of a Mini, ensuring moments of pure fun, even in complete silence.
With an output of 184 horsepower, the Cooper E can reach 100km/h in 7.3 seconds and offers a reported maximum range of 305 kilometres on the WLTP cycle with its 40.7kWh high-voltage battery.
It may be an electric car, but the Mini soul has not been lost and that is very good news for fans of the British brand.
