The new electric Minis include a refreshed Cooper three-door, and the brand-new Countryman five-door. With lots more range, do they bring Mini back into EV contention?
– except like London buses, two have come at once. These have much improved range from brand new platforms, but will they be enough to bring back the brand’s former electric glory?The new Minis include a refreshed Cooper three-door, and the brand-new Countryman five-door. The former is a considerable upgrade on its predecessor, albeit most noticeably in range. The Facelift Mini Electric offered up to 145 miles of WLTP range, but the new version provides at least 199 miles.
The Cooper Electric is a significant update on the previous vehicle, with a much more usable range, particularly with the SE version. The Countryman goes even further in that direction, and strangely offers the highest acceleration yet in an electric Mini, at least until the JCW version of the Cooper arrives. This places the Mini Electric into a much more mainstream space than being a fun EV that you can probably only use for shorter urban journeys.
