And while Stefanie Wurst didn\u2019t mention it, we expect the upcoming five-door and convertible Mini Cooper to feature the same powertrain options as the new three-door Cooper. In other words, a front-mounted electric motor that makes 181 horsepower in the Cooper E variant and 214 hp in Cooper SE guise.<\/p>\n<p>The Countryman will be built in Germany, while the Cooper is set to go into production in China, as is the upcoming Aceman, which is the result of a 50:50 joint venture between the BMW Group and Great Wall Motor. As opposed to the Cooper and Countryman \u2013 which will get fuel-burning versions \u2013 the Aceman will be an electric-only affair, offering the same two drivetrain options as the Cooper BEV, with 181 hp and 214 hp respectively.<\/p>\n<p>As always, we\u2019d like to know what you think about this, so head over to the comments section below to give us your thoughts.<\/p>\n<p> Source: <span>Autocar<\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/685555\/mini-cooper-five-door-ev-hatchback-coming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mini, the BMW-owned British brand, is working on a five-door version of its latest Cooper hatchback, according to the company\u2019s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":237525,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
