Mini Cooper S EV 2024 official photos reveal design
The next-generation Mini Cooper EV is scheduled for a May 2024 release, but a series of leaked photos let us see its design of the Cooper S in advance. Previously, the company announced some of the specs, but we will still have to wait for the full details and prices at launch.
The appearance is in line with Mini's design traditional language, although it's even more streamlined this time. The length of the chassis of the electric version is still 3,800mm, but it looks wider and has a longer wheelbase. Mini got rid of the black plastic around the fenders, along with the contrasting trim accents and chrome elements. And although this is the Cooper S in the photos, we believe there will be small or no deviation in the design across different trims. As per current rumors, in addition to the standard Cooper and Cooper S, Mini plans to release a Cooper SE and Cooper Works.
So far, we know that the Cooper will offer 179hp in its base version with 0-100 km/h acceleration in 7 seconds. The Cooper SE variant will bump that to 212hp. A Cooper Works version is also in the pipeline with 247hp.
There are no photos of the interior, unfortunately, but Mini assures that it will retain the classic Mini look. The most frequently used and important controls will be physical buttons, while the iconic circular central display will replace the standard cluster with a more modern and "funky" display.
The Cooper will employ a 40kWh cell, while the Cooper SE will make use of a larger 54kWh pack. The estimated range is 384km (240mi) and 483km (300mi), respectively.
