Munich. With a slightly larger track width and longer
wheelbase, the new MINI Cooper SE impresses with noticeable dynamism
in every season – driving fun that is guaranteed on snow and ice. The
spontaneous power development of the 160 kW/218 hp electric motor is
transferred directly and precisely to the high-quality chassis
technology. The usual direct steering behavior ensures agility, and
the integrated braking system ensures maximum safety even on wet and
slippery roads.
“The MINI Cooper SE electrifies the go-kart feeling typical of the
brand and underlines MINI’s exceptional position in the competitive
environment. “Thanks to the fully electric drive concept, the new MINI
combines maximum emotion and a minimal footprint and presents itself
as a strong symbol for the future of the brand,” says Stefanie Wurst,
Head of MINI.
On frozen climbs or downhill sections, Active Slip Regulation
optimizes traction and brings up to 330 Nm of maximum torque to the
road in a controlled manner. The high-voltage battery with 54.2 kWh
capacity and a range of up to 402 kilometers in the WLTP test cycle is
installed in the vehicle floor and contributes to a balanced weight
distribution. This means that the MINI Cooper SE has a low center of
gravity and, in combination with its suspension and damping
properties, maneuvers particularly smoothly on the road.
Reduced exterior with a confident
expression.
MINI has been continually reinventing and
developing the successful concept of the iconic 3-door car for more
than 60 years. The classic Mini -thanks to its extremely short body
overhangs – impressed with its maneuverable compactness. The classic
Mini became a legend in the 1960s when it achieved overall victory
three times in the Monte Carlo Rally against significantly more
powerful competitors. And just as the classic Mini models moved safely
and quickly on snow-covered roads 60 years ago, the current MINI
Cooper SE drives safe on snow and ice today.
