Perhaps a classic Mini – even if it is restomodded and electrified – does not appeal to the modern you. Well, fret not because the current line of electric MINI has just been joined by a new zippy and zesty all-electric MINI Cooper E in Classic Trim, affording you the classic look and feel but with all the modern amenities, features, and power you expect.
This little dynamo is shaking things up in the MINI family with four fresh trims, including this latest, eye-catching Classic Trim. Imagine cruising in Sunny Side Yellow with a chic contrasting roof and mirror caps in white—pure style on wheels!
Inside, the cockpit dazzles with a snazzy black and blue knit, perfectly paired with posh synthetic leather seats in gray or black, sporting a cool houndstooth pattern. Stefanie Wurst, the big boss at MINI, is all about this electric dream, promising thrilling agility and acceleration that’ll make your heart skip a beat, all without guzzling a drop of gas.
Speaking of acceleration, this little fun fellow is powered by a 135 kW/184 hp electric drive with an impressive maximum torque of 290 Nm (214 lb-ft) that enables it to rocket from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 7.3 seconds.
Feel the thrill with every turn, thanks to sporty steering and a go-kart vibe turbocharged by instant electric power. This eco-friendly speedster boasts a 40.7 kWh battery, delivering a respectable 305 kilometers (190 miles) on a single charge. And if you’re in a rush, a quick 28-minute zap boosts the battery from 10 to 80 percent, ensuring you’re always ready to roll.
Those are not it. The MINI Cooper E isn’t just about getting from A to B; it’s about turning heads while doing it. From its iconic round headlights – powered by LED, of course – to the unique octagonal grille, it’s a true MINI through and through, with a modern twist. And with rims that could make a fashionista jealous, you’ll be rolling in style, whether you’re darting through city streets or hunting for that elusive parking spot.
City driving’s a breeze with this electric gem, thanks to techy treats like Active Cruise Control and a Parking Assistant that spots and snags parking spaces like a pro.
It is not clear when your ticket to electrifying adventures and guilt-free fun, wrapped in the classic trim, will arrive though.
