The Next Electric Mini Promises to Be a Big Step Up
Mini is currently hard at work preparing the next generation of its flagship model, the Cooper Hardtop. The model is currently available with a gasoline engine, but also in an all-electric (SE) configuration.
While certainly interesting to drive, the Cooper SE offers a disappointing range in the eyes of many, its official 183 km (up from 177 at its debut) increasingly feeble in comparison with newer EVs hitting the market. For Mini, this is not a problem per se, because the SE’s other attributes help it satisfy the target clientele’s expectations and needs. Still, expectations have a way of changing, so offering more in terms of range is certainly not a bad idea.
Mini has clearly reached that conclusion, anyways, and for the next generation of the Cooper, there will be more range available to drivers of the electric variant.
Mini’s schedule has a new Mini Hardtop arriving in 2023 as a 2024 model. Early models are currently undergoing winter testing near the Arctic Circle.
