Mini Cooper SE — First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre21 Oct 2022

There's hardly anyone who wouldn't know about the brand Mini. And you'd be certainly living under a rock if you are unaccustomed to car manufacturers bringing in electric vehicles. This Mini Cooper SE is the electric version of the iconic Mini Cooper hatchback. In place of a conventional internal combustion engine, there's now an electric motor paired with a battery. The best part is that none of the Mini's design elements have changed. This includes the round headlamps, two-door body style, and a compact footprint. Lest we forget, even Brit elements like in the tail lamps and now the UK electric plug design in the alloys. What about the driving fun? We shall get to that bit in the due course.
