It's official - the new Mini Cooper EV is primed to launch next summer with 215bhp and a 240-mile range ⚡ A petrol version will also return alongside it in summer of next year
The car maker will again offer the Cooper with both electric and combustion powertrains, told apart only by the exhaust pipes or lack thereof, but only in petrol-powered form will it be sold with five doors or the option of a drop-top - neither yet previewed. A limited-edition convertible version of the current-gen Mini Electric, however, is tipped to preview a series-production successor later down the line.
Range will start at 240 miles , Wurst confirmed, with other packs giving “double what is offered with the same battery sizes now”. She added that prices will push past the £30,000 mark; the current model is available from £29,000. The electric car’s handling is said to have been improved courtesy of a newly developed traction control system. As reported by Autocar following an early prototype ride last year, it uses a new motor controller with the traction control system essentially built in, which allows much faster reaction times under hard acceleration.
Elsewhere, ‘funky’ projections on the dashboard will display information for passengers, including time and speed, for example.
