About

The 2025 MINI Cooper S Electric is a fully electric city car that retains MINI's signature go-kart-like driving dynamics. The single front-mounted motor produces 215 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque, propelling the Cooper SE from 0-60 mph in 6.7 seconds. A 54.2-kWh battery provides up to 245 miles of range. The new-generation design features a circular OLED central display, toggle bar switches, and minimalist interior surfaces. The chassis has been completely re-engineered with a lower center of gravity due to the floor-mounted battery. Multi-link rear suspension replaces the previous torsion beam for improved handling. DC fast charging at 95 kW replenishes to 80 percent in approximately 30 minutes.

The 2025 MINI Cooper S Electric successfully translates the brand's legendary go-kart handling into the electric era. With 215 horsepower and instant torque delivery, it feels genuinely quick in urban environments, and the low center of gravity from the floor-mounted battery enhances an already playful chassis. The retro-modern redesign is attractive, with a cleaner aesthetic and a round OLED central display that oozes character. At 245 miles of range, it comfortably handles daily commuting and weekend errands. Build quality benefits from BMW Group engineering, and the cabin feels more premium than the price suggests. At $36,900, however, it faces stiff competition from the Volkswagen ID.3 and base Tesla Model 3. The four-seat configuration and compact boot limit practicality, and FWD-only means no AWD option for winter climates. Best suited for urban drivers who value driving fun and iconic design over outright space and range.
