MINI has added its signature British Racing Green paint to the fully electric Cooper SE hatchback, pairing the motorsport-associated color with John Cooper Works trim, iauto.lv reported.
The three-door Cooper SE in British Racing Green produces up to 160 kW, or 218 hp, from its all-electric powertrain, according to the BMW Group newsroom. The battery sits low in the floor, which MINI says delivers balanced weight distribution and direct handling.
400 Kilometres per Charge
The Cooper SE travels up to 400 kilometres on a single charge under the WLTP cycle, the BMW Group newsroom states; its official range figure spans 385–400 km. Average electricity consumption is 14.6–14.7 kWh per 100 km, iauto.lv reported, and CO₂ emissions while driving are 0 g/km.
Drivingnews.co.uk cautions that drivers should treat the laboratory range figure as a comparison tool rather than a guaranteed distance, since weather, speed and driving conditions affect what is achievable in practice.
Heritage Color, Modern Powertrain
British Racing Green has long been tied to British motorsport, and on the Cooper SE it highlights the car’s body lines while the electric powertrain handles the modern part, drivingnews.co.uk noted. The outlet stressed this release showcases the color rather than announcing a separate special edition.
Instant acceleration gives the car the brand’s signature go-kart feeling, the BMW Group newsroom said.
Minimalist Cabin, Circular Display
Inside, a deliberately pared-back interior centers on MINI’s iconic circular central display, with digital functions woven into a minimalist design, drivingnews.co.uk reported. iauto.lv described the cabin as harmoniously combining minimalist styling with modern digital technology.
Questions Buyers Ask
Is the British Racing Green MINI Cooper SE a limited special edition? No. According to drivingnews.co.uk, the release showcases the paint finish on the existing Cooper SE rather than announcing a separate special edition model.
At the reported consumption of 14.6–14.7 kWh/100 km, iauto.lv puts the energy use at under 15 kWh per 100 kilometres, with zero direct CO₂ emissions.
Can it handle more than city driving? Yes. The BMW Group newsroom says the up-to-400 km WLTP range makes it suitable for everyday urban driving and longer journeys alike.
The combination gives buyers a small electric hatchback that keeps a recognizable, heritage-linked design while running entirely on electricity.
