Next-gen Mini Cooper Electric revealed

The next-gen Mini Cooper Electric is said to go on sale sometime in May 2024.

The next-gen Mini Cooper Electric was recently spied completely undisguised during a photoshoot in Los Angeles, USA, revealing most of the exterior design details of the car. Now, the carmaker has officially released a few exterior images of the electric hatchback.

The official images confirm the design details all around the car. This includes the revamped LED headlamps with integrated LED DRLs and a large front panel in place of the grille, which now houses the number plate and the driver assistance sensors. The front does come with an air intake at the bottom for the battery cooling system. The next-gen Cooper also comes with newly-designed alloy wheels and redesigned triangular-shaped LED taillights connected by a black bar with the 'Cooper S' badging on it.

Mini didn't reveal the interiors of the new Cooper Electric. However, the hatchback is expected to come with a revamped dashboard with an infotainment screen on the signature circular central display, physical buttons and a 'funky' new instrument cluster.

The next-gen Mini Cooper Electric is said to go on sale sometime in May 2024. It will be followed by the ICE-powered version a few months later. The new electric hatchback will come with the option of either a 40 kWh or 54 kWh battery pack, offering 240 miles and 300 miles of range, respectively.

More details on the 2024 Mini Cooper Electric will be announced closer to the date of launch.
