The company says the Cooper E and Cooper SE \u2014 the two EV variants \u2014 have 190 miles and 250 miles of range, respectively, as calculated using the European EV test cycle. (Those numbers could drop to around 175 miles and 215 miles each when the EPA test cycle is applied, per <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/cars\/2023\/09\/2025-mini-cooper-and-countryman-evs-bring-more-range-style\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Ars Technica<\/em><\/a>.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">But about that big OLED touchscreen that now floats in front of the center of the dashboard instead of the embedded rectangle in past models. The company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miniusanews.com\/newsrelease.do?id=1398&amp;mid=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">teased the Cooper\u2019s redesigned interior<\/a> earlier this year with videos showing the screen\u2019s animations and followed that up with another release with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miniusanews.com\/newsrelease.do?id=1400&amp;mid=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more detail about its capabilities<\/a>. The screen is also used to show Spike, a CG dog that represents the \u201cfully-fledged voice assistant\u201d the company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/4\/11\/23678471\/spike-english-bulldog-mini-bmw-aceman-countryman-cooper-personal-assistant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced a few months ago<\/a>. (If you don\u2019t like the dog, there\u2019s also a \u201cstylized representation of a Mini\u201d option.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">When you cycle through the \u201cMini Experience Modes,\u201d which change the car\u2019s handling and responsiveness, Mini says the interior lights, instrument cluster, and OLED screen will all take on colors to match the vibe of the mode. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Voice control can be activated by saying \u201cHey Mini,\u201d and it\u2019s used, as you might guess, for navigation, phone calls, in-car entertainment, and \u201cnumerous other vehicle functions.\u201d The company also says the car will learn from your routine when you take the same routes regularly and can learn to automatically roll down the window in the same place, for example. The display runs the Android-based Mini Operating System 9.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Mini says the 184hp Cooper E can reach 60mph from a stop in 7.3 seconds and has 214lb-ft of torque, while the more powerful 218hp Cooper SE variant, which offers 243 lb-ft of torque, can do it in 6.7 seconds. The Cooper E uses a 40.7kWh battery, and the Cooper SE\u2019s has a 54.2 kWh capacity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Finally, although the body style is still generally in keeping with past designs, there are some changes. The oval-shaped headlights\u2019 LED surrounds now have coordinated \u201cwelcome and goodbye animation\u201d and \u201cthree adjustable light signatures,\u201d while the car\u2019s rear has been switched up with angular lights that can also be personalized, as you can see in the TikTok video above. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/9\/2\/23856781\/mini-cooper-2025-e-se-ev-redesign-oled-touchscreen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2025 Mini Cooper EV reveal is showing off a facelift, increased range, and a giant, round OLED screen floating in front of the dashboard.
