Compare the MINI Cooper Electric vs MINI Cooper
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the MINI Cooper Electric and petrol MINI Cooper deliver plenty of grip through corners, and both have enough power to ensure overtaking on the motorway is never a struggle. However, while the petrol Cooper is not too noisy at higher speeds, the Cooper Electric is quite noisy at motorway pace. Inside, both hatchbacks feature climate controls that are fiddly or not the easiest to tap on the move. When it comes to practicality, you will also find that fitting a child seat into the back of either model proves quite difficult.
