Created in 1959, the MINI is undoubtedly a hallmark of British automotive design – a true icon that remains highly celebrated for its unique looks and go-kart-esque driving style. Now embracing the future of driving, MINI have released an electric car to rival the growing market for small EV’s that don’t cost the earth and can replace your smaller city cars. The Electric MINI takes everything we know and love about the Cooper S, swapping out the turbo petrol engine for a 135kW electric motor.

Producing a respectable 181bhp, not far off the standard Cooper S, and getting from 0-62mph in 7.3 seconds, the Electric MINI is no slouch. Feeling just as fast as its petrol brother, if not faster thanks to the instant electric torque, the Electric MINI keeps the much-loved agile go-kart feel that the Cooper S has become known for. With 145 miles of electric range, you can comfortably fit this car into your busy schedule.

This particular example is the Level 3 trim package, which brings plenty of features to your MINI such as the popular Harman Kardon surround sound system, glass panoramic roof, reversing camera, and heated seats. With almost all the optional extras ticked in this package, it’s a must-have for those who like to travel in ultimate comfort.

The Electric MINI is the perfect daily car – small, agile, economical, packed full of features, and a whole lot of fun to drive. Perfectly capturing the essence and mission of the original MINI, the Electric MINI is a fitting addition to the historic line up that would make John Cooper proud.
