The new MINI Cooper SE: only electric for the first time

In the opinion of many, the MINI brand flirted with electricity for far too long - but we have finally seen electrification, which can now also be experienced in the typical MINI style. So the first fully electric MINI hit the roads.

Mini and electric they fit together like bread and nutella - and we've been waiting a really long time for the first MINI electric car. Now that it's here, we're glad it's keeping it unchallenged The DNA of petrol models. Namely, it maintains "extraordinary power", because its electric motor can handle it 185 horsepower (135 kW), which is placed on the road via the front pair of wheels. It also still has that real go-kart feel and can accelerate at the same time, as it takes 7.3 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h.

A model-specific lithium-ion battery provides range 235 to 270 kilometers and is located deep in the floor of the vehicle, ensuring that there are absolutely no space limitations in terms of boot space compared to a conventionally driven MINI three-door car.

The new MINI Cooper SE will be the first all-electric small premium car that paves the way for sustainable mobility while offering an emotional driving experience in city traffic.
