Mini has unveiled its new fifth generation Mini Cooper Electric

Available in two output levels – E and SE – and three trim levels in the UK – Classic, Exclusive and Sport – the new Mini Cooper Electric is priced from £30,000 OTR, with first customer deliveries taking place in spring 2024.

The front end of the all-electric Mini Cooper remains familiar with a new octagonal grille. Horizontal light graphics are offered as standard, and optionally the daytime running light elements can be switched to create three adjustable light signatures.

Flush door handles are offered for the time first, while the wheel arches and side scuttles have been removed.

The all-electric Mini Cooper is available in three different trims; Classic, Exclusive and Sport. The Classic trim presents a reduced overall appearance while highlighting key parts such as the logo in new colour Vibrant Silver. A range of four external paint finishes, including all-new Sunny Side Yellow, one contrasting roof colour and two wheel options give customers extra flexibility.

The interior of the vehicle echoes the famous minimalist design of the classic Mini, using just the round instrument cluster in the centre and the toggle bar below.

A new central OLED display is the defining feature of the interior. With a diameter of 240mm and Mini Operating System 9, all vehicle functions can be operated with either touch or voice control, while the display has been moved closer to the driver for easy reach.

With a completely new powertrain, the new Mini Cooper Electric is available in two variants: E and SE. The Cooper E hosts a high-voltage battery with 40.7 kWh of capacity which provides up to 190 miles of electric range (WLTP). A 135 kW/184 hp electric motor generates a torque of 290 Nm and accelerates the vehicle from 0 to 62mph in 7.3 seconds.

With an output of 160 kW/218 hp, the Cooper SE reaches 62mph in 6.7 seconds with a maximum torque of 330Nm, with the calculated range increasing to a maximum of 250 miles thanks to a battery capacity of 54.2 kWh.
