Join me on an exciting journey into Electric Vehicle ownership. In this multi-part series, I will document my new car journey, from my 2014 Golf GTI to my first electric vehicle. Check out Part 1 here: https://youtu.be/Km7h2EIvmC4.
In Part 3 of this series, I was able to test drive the 2024 Electric MINI Cooper SE Sport for the whole day. This MINI Cooper features a 49.2kWh battery with around 180 miles of real range, and a 0-62mph in 5.9 seconds.
As one of my first car reviews (so bear with me regarding knowledge and presentation), I test drive the MINI Cooper and give you my first-hand impressions of it, followed by a POV drive, a look over the interior, exterior, infotainment system, CarPlay and more!
If you would like to see me test any other EVs, let me know in the comments. If you are a UK press representative for a vehicle brand and would like to invite me to test drive your latest models, you can also get in touch via the contact form.
