Mini Cooper – Australian Model EV

The 2025 Mini Cooper EV offers Australian EV buyers two models to choose from, the Cooper E with 305km WLTP range and the Cooper SE extending to 402km, featuring sporty performance and premium technology in a snazzy, punchy little package. Priced from approx. $58,990 plus on-road costs, it combines retro styling with modern electric efficiency and safety technology but faces competition in range and value against rivals like Tesla and even the GWM Ora in the style department.

Summing up the 2025 Mini Cooper EV

The 2025 Mini Cooper EV delivers spirited handling and retro charm but trails competitors like the Tesla Model 3 in range (402km vs 513km) and value-for-money. Its premium features and compact design appeal to urban drivers, though limited cargo space and lack of towing capacity restrict practicality for longer journeys or road tripping. The perfect city EV maybe?
