A new dawn for Mini: the latest generation of all Mini Coopers and Mini Countryman specifications comes in both electric and internal combustion variants
True to its brand DNA, Mini has once again redefined itself by embracing and setting new trends without losing touch of its heritage.
Two of its most sought-after models, the Mini Cooper and Mini Countryman, are now available in both electric and petrol engine variant–with the electric development being a first for the Mini Countryman.
“Now with the all-new MINI Cooper E being a Category A COE model, and seven different model variants to choose from, our customers have options to display their flair and individuality like never before – all while staying true to the inventive and unique spirit of MINI,” shared Ms Cheryl Chiok, managing director of Eurokars Habitat.
At the launch popup held at One Holland Village by Eurokars Habitat, progressive innovation can be seen in its design ideology, albeit still upholding traditional Mini values. A typical hallmark of Mini cars, the latest models still sport the same short overhangs and bonnets, a long wheelbase and big wheels. Although, a number of distinctive design differences do set the electric examples apart from its internal combustion counterparts.
On the new Mini Coopers, a striking new octagonal front grille takes the place of its predecessors’ hexagonal grilles, lending an imposing stance to its outlook. Take a closer look and you’ll come to realise that the chrome elements typically framing the classic round headlights are gone, and so are the circumferential Black Bands on the sides of the car.
On the other hand, the design philosophy of the new Countryman expresses a stripped-down minimalism; one that still retains its character. Now an additional six centimetres higher and 13 centimetres longer in length than the previous model, this Mini Countryman is not-so mini anymore. To further drive home its purist design, all decorative chrome elements inside and out of the car had been stripped.
These newborn Cooper and Countryman models both offer three specifications each–two electric, identifiable by their ‘E’ and ‘SE’ monikers, and one with a petrol engine. The new Mini Cooper range includes the Cooper S, Cooper E, and the Cooper SE, while the Mini Countryman lineup sees a John Cooper Works (JCW) Countryman, Countryman E, and Countryman SE.
