MINI has taken the wraps of the 2025 Cooper E and Cooper SE along with the all-electric version of the Countryman.

The Cooper E and Countryman Electric carry forward a familiar design yet have been modernised for the electric powertrain. This includes plenty of exterior changes, revamped interiors, and a bunch of new tech and features.

Starting with the new MINI Cooper E and Cooper SE, the exterior design is minimalistic and features new LED lighting at the front and rear. The car also features flush door handles, while the wheel arch cladding and chrome elements have now been removed. Inside, the new Cooper E & SE carries forward the minimalistic styling. The cabin is centred around the round infotainment display with toggle controls below it, an optional head-up display, steering-mounted controls and premium upholstery all around.

The new MINI Cooper E will come with a 40.7 kWh battery pack paired with a single electric motor producing 184 BHP and 292 Nm. MINI claims the new Cooper E is capable of sprinting from 0 – 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds and offers a max range of 190 miles (305 km) on the WLTP cycle.
