2024 MINI Cooper Review: The all-electric MINI with proper range!

Yes, the MINI is an icon. And while the modern MINI takes many cues from the original, in many ways, it's a very different car - there is the SUV version Countryman after all! So, it was no surprise when MINI brought an all-electric hatch to the market. With this latest version, MINI has given it the Cooper moniker too. Is this new version an improvement on its predecessor? Does it now have usable real world range? Watch our 2024 MINI Cooper review to find out all you need to know.

I drove the new electric mini S (in JCW trim) last Saturday in the UK - right-hand drive version. I loved it. It was plenty fast enough and the sounds made it very sporty. The build quality was also impressive.

John Cooper Works Body Kit/ Plastic Fantastic Trim. Not and actual JCW Performance over a non JCW Electric.

Back in the day there was the 'twinny mini' Cooper with engines front & back - that approach to the electric mini could do 0-60 in 3-4 seconds? The hell with the boot, throw your gym bag in the back seat!

[@colinharvey1049]

Can this MINI be charged to 100% like the old model or does it now have the advice to charge to 80% like the newer BMW i models?

[@symmetric6930]

Looks like a Suzuki Swift imo. Does not scream a mini

[@eric8188]

It seems the rear light is turned on all the time, even during the daytime?

[@irekfilms]

This Mini wights 1680 kg Not over 2000 kg like you said !

[@ag_a3346]

Why is this reviewer so negative towards this new Mini JO1? I'm really baffled by some of his comments!!

[@fts3865]

Over 2000kg? You have to check that… not true

[@bunston1000]

An electric Mini Cooper `S’. John Cooper would be turning in his grave.

[@Fire.Rabbit]

electric? honda e is a better small cute hatchback imo.

How did this guy miss the terrible weather in Barcelona 😂 Everyone else struggled. Why did they get rid of the boot 3/4 cover you could open up the last third it works so well for shopping to keep it in place. MINI do yourself a favours ask current customers and not artsy fartsy designers what is right. Try living with them. I bet within 20 minutes I would spot faults and flaws in this car. Leather straps do absolutely bugger all for me and we are on our fifth MINI, two currently on the drive factory ordered. It’s going to be a push to move to this especially when the Retro Renault 5 is coming out. Still 10k too dear for what it is. The SE with sports pack with 0-62 is 6.7sec is and wait for it £42k. 😂 Not in this life or the next will I ever pay that for a MINI.

[@jimbo9310]

It looks horrible, how do these designers get away with it. Doesn’t deserve the mini badge , won’t ever buy that. 😡

[@apollolang3399]

Shite electric crap, cost a fortune to buy and worthless when you go to trade in or sell

[@martynedwards5425]

Dang that’s ugly for a mini and the dash looks awful

[@barrydavis3044]

More EV sh.t.

[@skellener]

“Look how they’ve massacred my boy”. It’s a Chinese knock off of a Mini, but it’s an official knock off… 🤮

[@michaelgodbold6247]

I had a real mini ,much better than that hideous looking milk float

[@OkayJose]

Awh I think this cooper would have been my banana split ❤

[@riaz8783]

These "milk floats" are faster, quieter, more refined and have instant torque unlike powering your car from animals that died millions of years ago.
