Description:
Is the Mini Cooper E still fun in freezing winter conditions? βοΈ
Today Iβm testing the cheapest and smallest-battery Mini EV on a cold day in Bavaria, Germany to see how it drives, accelerates, and feels in everyday use.
This Mini Cooper E comes with a 36.6 kWh battery, front-wheel drive, and 184 hp, making it more of a city and fun car than a long-distance cruiser. I take a close look at the interior, infotainment, driving modes, acceleration, noise levels, ride comfort, and whether the famous go-kart feeling still holds up in winter.
If youβre tired of only seeing expensive EVs tested, this one is for you π
π Expect real-world EV testing, honest driving impressions, and upcoming range tests.
