Thoughts on the new Mini Cooper Electric? Comment below and I'll reply to you personally! 👊🏼
I’m getting one!
the tail lights look shirthouse.
Nick is so tall that him standing next to a Mini makes it look like a small golf cart 😂
I was going to photoshop myself slightly larger 😂
Great review, thanks Nick. It will be interesting to see the pricing for the new Alpine A290 which I imagine will be similar to the Mini Electric SE...
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
Hi Nick 😃 Great video. Thanks for that. - Personally, I don't like the arrangement of the instruments at all. Too puristic. - But of course; the Mini will find its buyers. 👍🏼
Thanks for watching Sven! 🙏🙏
Hi Nick, great review! Any chance you can do an easy to understand breakdown of all the features and shortcuts on that central screen???? Learned so much from you regarding our Merc with your simple explanations and the hidden features! 😊
Thank you! 🙏
Glad you enjoyed the video!
On this car? Sadly I only had it for the day but possibly in the future when I might be able to get it for longer!
@@npoleary think your partner needs an upgrade!!!! 😂
Haha maybe!
We ordered the Mini SE in JCW trim. I was never a Mimi fan. But this one is just really good. Great entertainment system. Looks good. Great range. Cheap to run. Will be a great addition to my i4.
We got almost 25% discount.
Oh wow cool! Electric cars all round, quick question, are you sticking with just the one charger at home (I guess you have one) or are you looking at another…just curious if you don’t mind sharing 🤓
Mini released the mini aceman here in Australia. Hence why I don’t believe there will be a 5 door mini electric
That Mini is 40K!! Has the world gone mad?
EV’s are always slightly more expensive plus everything in the world has gone up in price which doesn’t help.
For the non EV version, Mini Cooper starts from £23,150 which sounds much better.
EV’s have their pros and cons and whether or not spending a few thousand more to jump to an EV is worth, that’s a whole topic in itself 😅
But you could get this exact car in a petrol though
2:30 that back window spoiler is completely ridiculous.
Maybe check out the CarGurus vid of the New MINI Cooper E. 17" wheels. The ECO based tyres that are fitted for range rather than handling. Traction / Grip. Journalist / vloggers really should check and set tyre pressures. Torque steer. Wheel spin. Yes new cars, green tyres and often overinflated. As media cars often are.
Climate controls can also be changed by voice commands via Spike, the digital assistant cartoon dog. Wake up is just, “hey MINI!”
Yeah very true! 😎
Great video Nick, Can you switch off those synthetic acceleration sounds? They will likely become very annoying after about 1 day of ownership!
Thank you, sadly didn't have time to check all the settings in the car for an individual switch. But if it was in Eco mode, yes it was completely silent in that drive mode
Thank you for watching!
Aceman is the 5 door equivalent
I wish the gas version looked like the electric version.
I tested one and really liked it, but £40,000 was just too much to stomach for what is essentially a disposable car. We ended up throwing practicality out of the window and buying a 1983 mini instead.
Oh cool a 1983 mini! 👍🏼😎
IMPORTANT is 2 battery sizes. So the WLTP does refer to if the Cooper E & 40.7 kWh, or a Cooper SE & 54.2 kWh. The lighter one with the smaller battery and the similar power to the First Generation 32.6 kWh does handle different. Maybe even more Go-kart like. But then these Chinese (GWM) built MINI,s do have rubbish tyres OEM which has the 218 ps SE spinning tyres. Fit All Seasons maybe for the UK. Then see REAL WORLD how far the Small Battery or Larger Battery car goes. They have different Max Charging speed / kWh as well.
Yes, was just trying to oversimplify it for current Mini owners.
DC charge speed is always around 20-40 mins in pretty much every EV.
But thanks for sharing the stats! 😎
Forget to 80 with a 42 kWh battery if out of town you might well need more range than that . Max 75 kWh charging. SE is 95 kWh.
@@georgewalker7061 the spinning of the wheels is deliberate. The traction control in the old model was so good that there was almost no wheel spin, but some people found that less engaging. So they detuned the traction control slightly on the new model.
Nonsense. I have a level MINI SE 2023. The wheel spin is with the Rubbish Goodyear Eagle F1. Car 184 ps. It is the More powerful new MINI SE crap tyres that causes the wheel spin. The MINI E with good tyres is just like the current car. Were you told the tosh about engagement my MINI media department. Wheel spin, loss of traction is not a safety feature. Dynamic control and traction can be switched off.
@@georgewalker7061 that was what a journalist said he was told by Mini. Do you have any evidence it is not true?
A good friend of ours is a Mini Salesman here. He is coming close to our town in a few weeks and going to stop by and visit us. I am going to ask him about the new Mini lineup and share your video.
Oh awesome thanks gregthompson3231! That's cool, thank you! 😎
Wait and buy it used
The styling is sadly diluted, whilst still quite good looking. Very minimalistic, and the interior has that 'electric appliance' look, which doesn't cut it for me.
I am hoping that build quality is allright.
Also, how an electric car is 'John Cooper Works' beats me....
The starship sound btw is hideous.
Smart is still the best
The new smart’s (like #1 and #3) or the previous ones?
Wow that spoiler is truly hideous.
ok we have sound we get it…. but how does it drive on a twisty road? How about a freeway how does the steering wheel feel? You seem very uninterested in this car tbh
I said in the video that if this was out last year when I was shopping for my new car before I bought it, it would have been a contender.
It drives just like my partner’s Mini which is very good. Very fun to drive with that classic planted feeling on the road as it sticks to the road like glue. You can feel it’s slightly heavier compared to a petrol car due to the battery at the bottom of an EV but it makes up for it in acceleration.
Not a fan of the sounds when you pull away like
You can turn that off.
Yeah doesn’t have to be on
I think most cars offer the ability to turn it off
"Placebo" is the word that comes to mind.
Hideous looking taking all the mini look away from the car and that retro feel no manual available and as for the interior boring and definitely that mini look gone
Beauty, beholder …
To minimalistic for me. Looks empty inside 🤷 Not for me definitely. Actually all EV are not my cup of tea.
Fair enough, have you seen anything you do like the look of? 🤓
Thanks for watching! 🙏
@@npoleary I like my S213🤣
Nice! 😎
Its time to ditch the out dated design. The mini is dead. The price is laughable.
What would you change it to?
ruined.
What’s your favourite go to car? Is it a previous model of Mini?
