We drive and review the new Mini Cooper S electric (EV) shadow edition around the testing UK roads in this no holds barred test of everything.
Is it worthy of the Cooper S badge? Cant small EV's be dynamic and fun? Is it worth the investment? Is the small range a big issue?

Would you consider one of these guys and girls? If not why not?

@ArneList Год назад

yes, I just ordered one as my first car. I just made my driving license and need the car only as hobby. I wanted a small and safe car for the city and country roads. The range is good enough for where I live and want to go to in the next future. I test drove one, and was totally convinced. For me, it is a little luxury sports car, but hey, I am over 50 now and waited long enough. :)

@joanyoon4672 Год назад

I have been waiting one, but electric cars here in US are too huge for my taste. Finally, mini electric came around. Cost is another concern, but for a middle class incomer, I am able to manage. With everything accounted, the cost came to around 35,000 dollars.

@PeakPerformanceReviews Год назад

When does yours arrive or have you already got one?

@joanyoon4672 Год назад

@@PeakPerformanceReviews I was told that the EV Mini is completed in its production stage and is on its way here to my state. It was scheduled to arrive in May. I will be trading my Honda fit as the down payment. I still have a good amount of monthly payment to make. Thanks for a great video!

Just paid £23k for a two month old one with 950 miles on the clock and a level 3 including a few options including exterior black pack, black beltline,rear tinted wheels, from a bmw mini dealer. Sound like a good deal to me so took the plunge to our first ev so fingers 🤞

@PeakPerformanceReviews 8 месяцев назад

Awesome Peter it’s such a great car. I think as long as your not going long distances you really will find this to be the perfect nice step into a fast fun EV. Keep in touch and let us know how it all goes ❤️🙌

Good review. I have this car. Great car for town and you can do road trips now and again. I'm getting 8.1kms per kwh. You rarely need to use the brake, just mainly use the regen. I wasn't aware the green+ has greater regen. I will have to try it. I like the stiff steering in sports mode. Thanks.

@PeakPerformanceReviews Год назад

I was very impressed, for a car with a fairly small battery it’s great, love the way it drives too. Glad your enjoying the car and glad you liked the review. Thanks and for watching, please stick around and subscribe as we need more good people like you on here 🙌✅👍

GREAT review. I just bought a Mini SE in the USA about 600 miles ago. My range is in the 110 miles range and I simply love the car. Like most it is not my only car- have an M2 for weekend car and Lexus NX 350 hybrid for road trips. The drive is excellent (better than my M2?) comfort is fantastic- and it is plenty fast and handles like the Go-Kart that is the Mini hallmark. And it is built like a BMW vault- great work at the factory Brits! No rattles no squeaks. Couple of negatives- 1> EVERY car needs Blind spot monitoring - especially for a 2023 model, 2> No AM radio in USA? should be and yes, 50 more miles of range would be absolutely perfect- 3> oh and the head up display is a useless waste of money. 4> And while I LOVE the center display binnacle, but the number for the range thats left is tiny and is put there like an afterthought- While of course NO car is perfect, none of these are deal breakers as this car has met all of my expectations, in the "honeymoon" phase at least. Again- great review.

@PeakPerformanceReviews Год назад

Thank you so so much for the kind comments it means a lot and it’s nice to hear thank you. I love the fact you have epic cars and very different ones too and that kinda shows that imo your opinion is a good one. Thanks for also listing the insightful list of honestly negatives too, it’s always better from the horses mouth from someone who had the car for a good amount of time. Thanks again for the awesome comments and thank you so much for watching. Please stick around and subscribe as we need more good people like you on here 🙌❤️ thanks again.

Finally a review that shows real world acceleration numbers! Too many reviews state the 7.3 stat and leave it there, thanks for testing it! Best I've had from mine thus far is 6.2 😂

@PeakPerformanceReviews Год назад

Thanks Drew, appreciate that and glad you liked that. Mega bit of kit and damn quick too I was well impressed. I couldn’t believe the times it would churn out, to think 0-60 that’s around where a new type R would be it’s madness. Please stick around and subscribe as we need more good people like you on here. What colour and spec etc did you go for? Are you in the UK?

@drewhender3999 Год назад

@Peak Performance Reviews Subscribed, I enjoyed your 500e video too.Yes I'm from the UK and I went for an entry level model in Moonwalk Grey with the plug socket wheels (I for one love them) I figured I'd go for the entry level for maximum value as the car invoice was only £26,000 in July of 2021 so I avoided the price hike that seems to have come about on them

@PeakPerformanceReviews Год назад

@@drewhender3999 no I’m with you, shadow edition or not I love and prefer the plug socket ones too tbh, suits the car. Woah what a bargain you got there fella (I’m presuming a male sorry, please correct me if I’m wrong) thank you so much for watching. Thank you so so much for watching the other video too and for subscribing it means a lot as a small RU-vidr. Stay in touch and comment and I love interacting with good people and perhaps a meet up in the future with others would be cool too as we plan to do some things. Where in the UK are you?

@718YellowSubmarine Год назад

Compared to the iD3 & iD4 pool cars I sometimes use, this is a way better drivers car. I tried one for about 120 km on regional and rural roads but 100 meters was enough to convince me. Totally agreed with this review. I am holding out for the next gen in about a year, with 50 kWh and 225 PS.

@PeakPerformanceReviews Год назад

I’m yet to get to drive the ID range cars but that sounds about right as I think in this category so far it’s the most nimble of cars I’ve tried and feels amazing. Where in the world are you and what spec did you get? Thanks for watching, please stick around and subscribe as we need more good people like you on here 🙌

Is that door window badly scratched?

@PeakPerformanceReviews 7 месяцев назад

I honestly don’t know and didn’t notice it, it’s strange because at first you can’t see it then during the video about 3 mins you can see it. I can only assume some dirt got on the window and we wound down the window and it smudged it but I don’t think scratched. Hard to say but it’s a press car I’m sure they sorted it, thanks for watching and well done for the eagle eye’d observation that was impressive 🙌

@georgewalker7061 8 месяцев назад

So it is Officially 0-62 mph / 100 kph in 7.3 seconds. But the tyres matter, Sport, Mid, Green, Green +, but the button 2nd from left is Regen or Reduced Regen. 2nd From the Right, TC, Dynamic, hold 3 seconds Dynamic off. Where does 140 plus real world come from, 110-114 miles, Yes everything off, perfect temperature and road and regen and you can Hypernile to 140 miles.

@PeakPerformanceReviews 8 месяцев назад

Yep so I was very pleased to manage 6.7, other cars these days smash there figures but I couldn’t get better than that. That’s for that, wish I had more time with it. My friend another media tester got 153 miles without too much of a problem when they had the exact same car as a press car so was quoting this because of them. I was getting 110-128 personally but I have a heavy-ish right foot.

@georgewalker7061 8 месяцев назад

I have one. I know what it does.

@PeakPerformanceReviews 8 месяцев назад

I thought you were talking about the Abarth 500e sorry, been replying to loads of comments tonight and got mixed up 😅

@georgewalker7061 8 месяцев назад

No way does a 50 kW charger put in 29 kWh in 30 minutes. But you can charge from near empty to 100% in between 40- 60 minutes but you are no way getting more than 11 kW in for the last 10%..

@PeakPerformanceReviews 8 месяцев назад

With a fast charger 20-80% shouldn’t be too far off with the right conditions and changing available, yeah the last 20% is much slower

@georgewalker7061 8 месяцев назад

@@PeakPerformanceReviews your terms are wrong. Fast chargers are 7 or 11kW AC. The rapid with the MINI is 50 CCS DC. It will do the first 80% in 30 off minutes. Not 20 - 100 %>. Did you not charge it,?

@PeakPerformanceReviews 8 месяцев назад

I didn’t charge it, unless they are lent to us as a long term fleet we sometimes only get vehicles for 30 mins to an hr so we can only go by what we are told by press fleet managers. How are you getting on with yours? It a great car and I loved it but I’m hearing there are better options now thanks to bigger battery options. It’s fine if you haven’t got to go far mind

@georgewalker7061 8 месяцев назад

@@PeakPerformanceReviews there are bigger battery cars, but I had a Corsa Electric for 3 years and 60,000 miles. 2 sets of drop links. 3 sets of rusted out discs, and off the road twice dead at chargers unable to select drive. I got a MINI while I could because I like a small fun car and do not want the new double range one, computer on wheels. Small battery but able to 11 AC charge because Charge Place Scotland and 50 kW rapids can be so unreliable.

@PeakPerformanceReviews 8 месяцев назад

Yeah that makes sense for sure glad your getting on much better with the Mini I loved it 🙌 lovely drive

@georgewalker7061 8 месяцев назад

You were never near higher speeds and 90 mph or actual 94 / 95 it will do, and it does not hold back up to there.

@PeakPerformanceReviews 8 месяцев назад

Not on these roads I’m careful on my drives with press cars 🙌

@georgewalker7061 8 месяцев назад

Did you check the tyre pressures or adjust. Did you try dynamic traction or off!

@PeakPerformanceReviews 5 месяцев назад

I did take traction control off it was great, I didn’t while I had it tbh because it felt perfect 👌

@CoseleyBenny1969 Год назад

I have a Mini Electric. You don't get 140 miles to a charge. You're lucky to get 100. If you drive in Green + mode, turn the radio off & drive like a Nun, you may go over 100. Sport mode is fun though. Scares the bejaysus out of 4 door saloon & SUV drivers.

@PeakPerformanceReviews Год назад

That’s mad, it appeared as though it would get 100-140 without too much of a problem on green but that’s good to hear real world usage range. It is damn quick I was impressed, thanks for watching fella 🙌

@rogermartinez78 Год назад

I have a Mini SE and I get between 120 and 140 in middle mode, and I don’t drive like a grandma!

@@rogermartinez78 that’s awesome to hear, I was getting the equivalent of around that also with a bit of both types of driving. Great to hear from someone with one again also. Thanks for watching 🙌🙌

@CoseleyBenny1969 Год назад

@Roger Martinez I normally use mine to taz about in. She is getting her first proper motorway (more than 10 miles) this weekend. I will see what a steady 70mph in cruise control does for my range. But I rarely get more than 90 miles (indicated) from a full battery.

@PeakPerformanceReviews Год назад

@@CoseleyBenny1969 I find motorways the worse on most EV’s 😂 let us know your findings fella be intrigued to know what this does.
