If you prioritise fun over practicality then this little hatchback may be one for you…

Indeed, the Mini Cooper Electric is a small but upmarket electric car that’s easy to drive around town and good fun on a twisty road. Sure, it’s not particularly practical and it’s not the most comfortable small car, but it’s sure to put a smile on your face in a way most alternatives simply can’t.

This car looks sharp with a cleaner design, while the Sport trim adds bold touches like a rear spoiler and larger alloys for extra presence. Inside, it’s just as stylish with a circular infotainment screen and fabric-trimmed surfaces – though the door fabric can feel coarse on bare arms. The screen itself has crisp graphics but is a bit slow to respond, and smartphone mirroring doesn’t fully utilise the display.

Mini Cooper Electric deals: lease one from £270 per month*

You can lease a Mini Cooper Electric from as little as £269.64 per month, with an initial payment of £2,426.76, through Á«»¨Ö±²¥. This deal can be found on the E Classic model. With this, you get dual-zone climate control, interior ambient lighting, adaptive cruise control, and a smart circular infotainment display with sat-nav and smartphone connectivity.

There are three trims, each with a choice of two battery and motor options. The E has less power and a smaller range of up to 188 miles officially, while SE models get more power as well as bigger battery that increases range to up to 249 miles. That’s a bit more than a Fiat 500 Electric and a bit less than a Peugeot e-208, though top-spec MG4s cost less than a fully loaded Mini and can go up to 323 miles.

Mini Cooper Electric alternatives

Here are some other small electric cars to consider:

Fiat 500e: Cool and practical cabin up front but the rear seats are cramped.
Peugeot e-208: Quite expensive for a small EV but has reasonably fast charging.
Renault 5 E-Tech: Fantastic styling inside and out but quite cramped inside.
