About this deal

It’s way too early for prices, but it’s safe to assume that they will all start with a three. Between that, the final infotainment system, the range and the ride, there are still quite a few unknowns about the Cooper E. At the same time, there’s little evidence to suggest that any of those things is likely to be problematic, and I’ve been impressed so far with the style, character and driving experience. If the Mini Electric floated the idea of a hot hatch EV, this new one has a good shot at making it real. The Cooper E has a181bhp front-mounted motor and a 40.7kWh battery, giving it a claimed range of 190 miles – substantially up on the old Electric.The Cooper SE gets 215bhp, which is enough for a 0-62mph time of 6.7sec, and a 54.2kWh battery, giving it a range of 250 miles. Charging speed is pegged at 95kW, which is down on many of the Mini’s rivals. Grip and balance are both strong, traction is much better than in older Minis and there’s never any shortage of charm or interactivity about anything the car does. Comparative equipment levels ought to be more persuasive. The Cooper S covers the basics (air-con, Bluetooth, DAB, sports seats) but, typically, its options list is long and distinguished by items that really ought to be standard. Both the interior and exterior components resemble the original vehicle, with a clear windshield, comprehensive dashboard and foldable mirrors.

The steering is transformed. The engineers say they’re still working on dialling in some on-centre feel, but it already felt pretty good to me. The leaden feel and limp turn-in that characterises many versions of the current Mini has been banished completely. It’s now actually quite light, even in Sport driving mode, feeling natural and delicately letting you know what’s going on. And the hint of torque steer when you accelerate hard out of corners is all part of the hot hatch experience. It’s roomier, too. There’s greater shoulder room, better underthigh support from the seats and more kneeroom in a wider driver’s footwell. There’s a bit of pedal offset – annoying in a brand new car – but overall you feel much more comfortable here than in any previous Mini. Despite the new platform, the Cooper E is about the same size as the Electric. It’s slightly wider and has a longer wheelbase, but it’s a tad shorter, too, with less of a rear overhang. It also retains the multi-link rear axle that’s very unusual for a car this small.

Connected to it are MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link set-up at the rear, both of which have been revised to reduce weight and increase component stiffness while preserving kart-like handling in what is a larger car. Little ones will love imagining road trips in their very own Mini Cooper Push Buggy ride on toy car. This Mini Cooper ride-on is so much fun – styled just like its full-size counterpart The Mini Cooper Push Buggy ride on is designed for parents to push along, steering the toy car with the parent handle. The handle height can easily be adjusted for your comfort, while the footrest can be adapted to suit your little one.

As before, the potential for personalisation is good, but Mini’s rivals have long since cottoned on to this concept. There is now the option of adaptive dampers. Dynamic Damper Control electronically adjusts rebound and compression damping, affording the Cooper S both Comfort and Sport settings. As standard, the Cooper S's and JCW'sbig petrol motor, together with the Mini's line-up of 1.2 and 1.5-litre three-cylinder engines, is mated to a newly developed six-speed manual gearbox, but a six-speed auto is also available. It is worth noting that Mini is dropping the 1.2-litre petrol in the One for a de-tuned version of the Cooper's 1.5-litre unit. Overall the performance figures will remain the same and will be first seen in the limited edition 1499 GT - a homage to the 1275 GT. The rest of the three-door range is made up of three diesel variants - two 1.5-litre units and a 2.0-litre engine which powers the Cooper SD. These two features are reasons many parents chose the Costzon Ride On Car, Licensed BMW Mini Cooper Electric Car. Of course, its short range is a big handicap, and newer cars like the Fiat 500, MG 4 and Cupra Born have since eclipsed it as our favourite affordable driver’s EVs, but the Electric still serves as strong proof of concept for the battery-powered hot hatch, and it has been a bit of a commercial success for Mini, making up a fifth of all the brand’s sales these days.While I’m speculating, it’s impossible to say anything conclusive about range yet, but the Mini Electric is very efficient in the real world, so there’s a good chance that this quality has been carried over. In any case, you will be buying the Cooper SE for the longer range rather than the extra performance. With it is a detachable, modifiable handlebar that allows parents to push kids. There also is an adjustable foot panel that will enable kids to move with their feet. In terms of running costs, there’s little to choose between any of them. Mini quotes 49.6mpg combined for the Cooper S (we managed 53.7mpg on a cruise and 34.9mpg overall). Considered alongside its 133g/km CO2 emissions, that might make it the class leader, but the difference is so slender that it’s unlikely to sway would-be buyers one way or the other. It also comes with a radio, Bluetooth, storage card, flash drive, etc., to let your child enjoy the ride. But just as pleasing to report is the new Mini’s civility. Hot Minis have for a while been capable of putting a grin on your face, but this one is twice as unobtrusive, better mannered and much more frugal; you can conjure better than 50mpg from this car when you select Eco mode and drive accordingly.

Both a Renault Clio RS 200 Turbo and an Abarth 595 Competizione are, according to our figures, more than half a second slower to 60mph. If you are looking for a ride that is worth the price, this ride is for you. It comes with two modes to control the car; it can also last up to 60 minutes. With a comfortable seat and safety belt, you are sure that your child is safe and comfortable. The bespoke platform was a great one, with a low centre of gravity and square stance on the road complemented by the unusual application (for a supermini) of multi-link rear suspension. As a result, the Mini had real talent on the road, with a snappy front end and sure-footed handling that always seemed to grip no matter the circumstance. The next-generation Mini, revealed in 2007, was built on this same platform, improving ride quality and refinement along the way. Both, in short, felt like proper ‘Minis’, even if they were significantly larger than the classics from which their name was derived. Despite being a bit of an afterthought (effectively an ICE Mini Hatch with batteries taking the place of the engine, fuel tank and exhaust), it managed to combine instant electric punch and a pointy chassis into something quite compelling. Kids are sure to enjoy this model with the spacious seating area and convenient steering that is easy to operate and handle for small drivers. DescriptionFor the second generation, Mini is doing things properly. This time, the car is based on a dedicated EV platform, which was developed as part of the Spotlight Automotive joint venture with China’s Great Wall Motors. Yes, of Ora Funky Cat infamy. If you are in search of a mini cooper that is classy, comfortable, and affordable, this is your best shot. It seems realistic with seatbelts, LED lights, headlights, mirrors, radio, mp3, etc. The model requires a little assembly. The battery must be fully charged for 24 hours before use. Note, however, that the battery mustn’t be charged for more than 30 hours.
