2024 MINI Cooper Electric Review | British small-car icon’s new-generation EV is a great drive

[@antonilavin2488]

Great review as always. My wife is driving her 6th Mini since 2003. This will probably be next. She has had, in order, a Cooper 3 Hatch, Cooper S, Cooper Paceman, Cooper Clubman, Cooper Countryman and now back to Cooper Hatch but a 5 door. Had them all. As the kids grew, so did her Mini. Now they both have their own first cars. And through it all, the best of all, my Mini Moke, a 1980 Californian.

A GWM Ora carrying Mini’s badge. Fun facts of latest dynamics in the EV world: Mini EV - GWM platform Smart EV - Geely platform (Some of) Volkswagen’s upcoming EVs - XPeng platform (Some of) Audi’s upcoming EVs - SAIC platform Toyota’s first EV, some of its upcoming EVs and hybrids- BYD platform

We’ve got a current Mini Cooper and an Ora , it’s amazing how similar the driving dynamics are. I’ve been very impressed with the build quality and the fit and finish of the Ora.

Why are approx on road costs of $5,000 not included so know drive away price? This is a huge difference in price.

[@naysunhuang]

on road costs can vary depending on what state you're in.

[@peterburdett8131]

Bloody love this thing. Only wish they had the same interior choice of the Countryman

[@andywarhol.]

The strip of cloth on the steering wheel and the dash give the car a real dose of character? Are you real?

[@subiejoe]

driving on the right in Aussic?

[@duncanstclair4063]

Mate, I've been watching your reviews for years and I have to say, you are really good. Well done on a great review.

[@MrTonifumi]

I love how mini went from working persons car to rich persons toy. $58,000 for 400km range?? Pass

[@oraclebox]

I suggest you open the car's hood and take a look at the wiring in front of you. Even the cover from the previous generation is gone; it's basically a low-cost, cheaply made car.

actually, GWM ＆BMW joint venture company made this,factory name spotlight auto

[@noelbeharis3223]

Chinese made with German price tag. Should be sold at $40K. Agree with the comment there there are no odometer or rev counter dials in front of the driver. It's a bench for a dash with a round iPad for a display. Liked the old cars dash more. Only saving grace is that the Chinese made Mini EV will probably be more reliable than the European made one. Tired of being ripped off by car makers and importers. Just doesn't look like a Mini. fire a rocket up the interior designer who is just plain lazy. How original. Tesla, Ford, Mercedes all come up with the same style of Dash. A bench with an iPad stuck with duct tape on the bench. Minimalist design is code for designer without imagination. Try harder and charge less.

[@MrJowolo]

China has moved on from producing cheap goods and are now more focused on high end products. I mean don’t get me wrong, there are still cheap Chinese made products, but if you don’t like it don’t buy it. No one is forcing us to do so. But can we afford to pay more in this climate? If I can buy a cheaper mini built in china, yes please.

[@electricdiesel1993]

Mr Bean would be very disappointed of this so-called Mini...

[@selldivision]

Its seems a bit of Chinese know how has made the best Mini yet.

[@tonymartin9938]

Dash and controls are form over function. For fan boys only. Otherwise, nice. But wouldn't buy one.

[@lukelawrence6007]

400kms on a hairdressers car thats not much😂

[@MikeyInThailand]

Make it under 35k (I’m sure they can, seeing made in china) and could be a good city car if you have a charger at home

[@NigeReviews]

A Chinese built MINI. No thanks.

[@wayneli4070]

Wow, a racist using electronics with Chinese components mouthing off and sharing his worthless opinion. We should definitely listen to that lmao.

[@onetwothreefour-s1n]

Way better of an ev if it's China made. Outside china are garbage

[@Tuzi523]

傻逼

[@global_southerner]

It’s the future, get use to it.

[@NigeReviews]

@@global_southernerI’ll stick to my old cars.
