Mini Cooper The One: high-performance engines and advanced electrification in 2025
At the heart of the Mini Cooper The One, two types of engines coexist to meet current driving needs: on the one hand, a modernized classic combustion engine and, on the other, a reinforced electric version. This duality allows MINI to maintain its sporting DNA while adapting to the green revolution initiated by BMW.
- 2.0 liter turbo combustion engine: develops 164 horsepower, for dynamic acceleration and precise driving on the road.
- Mini Cooper SE electric: equipped with a 54.2 kWh lithium ion battery, it offers up to 400 km of WLTP autonomy and a 215 horsepower motor.
Performance is enhanced by a fast charging system: between 10% and 80% of the battery in just 30 minutes using a DC terminal, while at home, a refurbished wall charger allows a full charge in less than 6 hours. MINI has been able to leverage its collaboration with BMW on battery technology to maximize efficiency and longevity.
