Mini's new electric Cooper will initially offer two grades, both of them packing more battery capacity than the current Cooper SE Hardtop.
The new hatch will be called a Cooper, instead of the current Hardtop moniker, and the gas and electric versions of the car will be based on separate platforms.will essentially be an update of the current Hardtop while the electric version will use a dedicated EV platform developed by a joint venture between Mini's BMW Group parent and Great Wall Motors.
There will also be separate production sites for the two versions. The gas version will continue to be built at the current site in the U.K. The electric version will be built in China. The electric version will initially be offered in Cooper E and Cooper SE grades, Mini said on Wednesday. The Cooper E will pack a 40.7-kwh battery and a single electric motor rated at 181 hp. The Cooper SE will feature a 54.2-kwh battery and a single electric motor good for 215 hp. Compare that to the
, which has a 32.6-kwh battery rated by the EPA at just 110 miles of range. The poor performance is partially due to the car riding on a platform originally designed for gas power., though timing for this model is uncertain. No details on the gas version has been confirmed, though the current Hardtop's 1.5-liter turbo-3 and 2.0-liter turbo-4 powertrains should carry over, perhaps with slight improvements to performance and economy for the new Cooper.
