It’s available as either a petrol or electric car, and we’ve got our hands on the electric car for this review. The question is, when it comes to compact cars, is this one of the best you can buy in 2024? For starters, let’s check out the design. From the outside, it is unmistakable as a MINI. There are three trim levels available, and we’ve got our hands on the top-spec Sport edition. This means it comes with an aggressive front bumper, black tone detailing, side skirts, and a large (but fake) rear diffuser. Step inside and the new MINI is a nice place to sit. The main feature of the interior is the large circular infotainment screen in the centre of the dash. The majority of the car's functions are housed here, including the climate controls, but unfortunately, it’s not the most responsive system. Elsewhere in the cabin, there are well-designed, recycled materials on the dash, but in lower-down spots, there’s a fair bit of plastic material. Thankfully though, the seats are super comfortable. Given we’ve got the electric edition, it’s only available as a three-door. If you want a five-door MINI, you’ll need to choose the petrol car! There are two versions of the electric MINI available. The entry-level is the Cooper E, which comes with a 37kWh battery that can produce 184hp and 190 miles of range. The other edition is the Cooper SE, which has a 49kWh battery, 218hp and 250 miles of range. If you choose the petrol car, the entry-level has a 1.5-litre 3-cylinder turbo that can produce 156hp, or there’s a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol that can put down 204hp. All MINIs are front-wheel drive, and they’re all automatic! The petrol-powered MINI starts at £23,000, while the electric edition starts at around £30,000. However, the price can rise by a lot – the top-of-the-range car we have here costs over £42,000!! So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself! Chapters
