Mini Cooper SE 2024

Features: The new Mini Cooper SE should get a circular touchscreen and dynamic dashboard lighting similar to the Aceman concept. It should also feature a digital driver’s display, premium audio system, heated front seats, wireless phone charger, multiple airbags and driver-assistance tech (ADAS).

Motor: Mini is yet to reveal the next-gen Cooper SE hatchback’s specs. The current EV gets a 32.6kWh battery pack good for up to 270km of range, but the new model should be able to go further on a single charge. The current Mini Cooper SE has plenty of performance with its 184PS e-motor that’s good for nought to 100kmph in 7.3 seconds.

Rivals: The Mini Cooper SE will be a rival for the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Volvo XC40 Recharge, among other electric models expected to arrive over the next two years.

The next-gen Mini Cooper SE has been previewed in new exterior images well ahead of its official unveiling. The EV features a neater, less cluttered design with curved body panels and only a few creases. It also gets a redesigned rear-end with a flatter tailgate.

The new Mini is expected to make its global debut in 2024, and its India arrival should be on the cards sometime in 2025.
