Is the all-electric MINI Cooper good for long distances?
The electric MINI Cooper is one of our most popular leases here at LetsTalk Leasing - and for good reason. Not only does the electric model retain MINI’s iconic style, but it’s also eco-friendly, cost-effective to run, and features all the mod-cons.
The MINI Cooper has always been a favourite amongst city drivers because of its compact size and agility. However, if you have a long commute or enjoy weekend road trips, you may be wondering – can the electric MINI Cooper go the distance?
In this article, we’ll explore how far the MINI Cooper electric can go on a single charge and whether it is a suitable option for people who regularly cover long distances.
What is the Electric MINI Cooper’s range like?
Electric vehicle technology has advanced significantly over recent years, alleviating many early concerns about range. Modern technology allows most electric vehicles to now cover long distances on a single charge.
The electric MINI Cooper SE has a WLTP-rated range of up to 250 miles on a full charge, while the Cooper E offers a range of up to 190 miles. However, range varies depending on driving habits and environmental conditions, so realistically, this equates to about 140-190 miles in the real world.
When it comes to charging, the electric MINI Cooper can charge from 0-80% in as little as 36 minutes using a rapid charger.
Is the MINI Cooper Electric comfortable when driving long distances?
The MINI is known for its compact size and agile handling, which make it perfect for city driving, but how comfortable is it when it comes to longer journeys?
Inside, the electric MINI Cooper offers plenty of features designed to provide a smooth and comfortable journey for both drivers and passengers. It comes equipped with an infotainment system, providing easy access to navigation tools, music, and entertainment. It also features advanced climate control and an ergonomic interior design to keep everyone comfortable during long drives.
However, you are still riding in a MINI Cooper, so its compact size may not offer the same level of comfort as some larger electric vehicles.
How much luggage space does the Electric MINI Cooper have?
The MINI Cooper electric offers 211 litres of boot space, which is not a great deal of room for packing multiple overnight bags. If you’re looking for luggage space, the MINI Aceman (300 litres) or Countryman (450 litres) may be a more suitable option.
