Mini Cooper SE Electric: A Stylish, Smart, and Sustainable Drive
The Mini Cooper SE Electric has officially launched in India, bringing together the brand’s classic style and modern electric power. Priced at ₹47.20 lakh (ex-showroom), this premium electric hatchback is built for those who want performance, comfort, and eco-friendliness in one package.
Powerful Electric Performance
The Mini Cooper SE Electric is powered by a 32.6 kWh lithium-ion battery connected to an electric motor that delivers 184 bhp and 270 Nm of torque. This setup helps the car accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.3 seconds, offering a zippy and fun driving experience. The top speed is electronically limited to 150 km/h, making it perfect for both city and highway drives.
The driving range of the Mini SE is up to 270 km on a full charge, depending on driving conditions. It’s a great option for daily use, city commutes, and even short weekend getaways.
Easy and Quick Charging
The Mini Cooper SE supports fast and flexible charging. With a 50 kW DC fast charger, it charges from 0 to 80% in about 36 minutes. Using an 11 kW AC wall box charger, the same level of charge takes around 2.5 hours. For home charging through a 2.3 kW AC plug, a full charge takes about 9 hours and 43 minutes.
Iconic Design with Modern Touch
True to its roots, the Mini Cooper SE Electric keeps its signature round LED headlamps, bold grille, and compact body. However, it gets unique electric touches like yellow-colored accents on the mirror caps and wheels. It also sits 15 mm higher than the regular Mini to make room for the battery.
Inside, the car feels premium and high-tech. It features an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with built-in navigation and smartphone support, and a 5.5-inch digital display behind the steering wheel. Additional features include dual-zone climate control, wireless phone charging, ambient lighting, and a premium Harman Kardon sound system.
Safety Comes Standard
The Mini SE doesn’t compromise on safety. It includes six airbags, anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic stability control, traction control, a rear-view camera, and parking sensors. These features help ensure a confident and secure driving experience.
Final Thoughts
The Mini Cooper SE Electric is ideal for buyers who want a stylish and fun electric car that’s easy to drive in cities but still offers good performance. With a price starting at ₹47.20 lakh, it’s positioned as a luxury EV that blends character, performance, and green technology. It’s a solid choice for those ready to switch to electric without giving up on design or excitement.
