The Classic Trim is offered in striking body colours and contrasting roof finishes. It runs on aerodynamically optimised wheels available in rim sizes ranging from 16 to 18 inches. 

    The new Cooper Electric Classic also features unique interior touches such as surfaces finished in a two-tone black and blue knit material and Vescin synthetic leather upholstery with a perforated houndstooth pattern. Two colour options available for upholstery are black and grey. The infotainment duties are handled by a 9.44-inch circular OLED touchscreen display powered by the new Mini Operating System 9.

    As for driver assistance, the EV comes kitted with Active Cruise Control, which monitors road conditions and maintains the proper distance with the vehicle running ahead. It also has a Parking Assistant feature that helps drivers park their cars in crowded cities by automatically taking over the parking process.

    “With the new all-electric Mini Cooper E, we are offering a great entry-level option into the new Mini family. Its 184 hp guarantees exciting agility and exciting acceleration without any sacrifices,” says Stefanie Wurst, head of Mini.
