To Drive, The 2022 MINI Cooper SE is Almost Perfect (For Trips Less Than 100 Miles)

Earlier this month, we told you our initial thoughts looking around the MINI Cooper S.E. Resolute Edition, a car that on paper looks like a compliance vehicle, lacks much of the space and features of most modern EVs, and has a pretty large price tag for what it offers.
But once you get behind the wheel, as we quickly discovered, it's a driver's car first and foremost, encouraging you to push it to its limits... Which as it happens, is about 100 miles per charge.
On paper, we shouldn't like this car any more than we did the Mazda MX-30 EV.
In the real world? It's everything we want in a sporty hot hatch (except that range).

I am loving my Mini Cooper SE. My round trip to work in San Diego is ~40 miles. I leave with 100% and end up back at home with ~70%.

@RobbyHendry Год назад

I have a Mini SE and autocrossed it this past year. It was an absolute blast to dodge cones with. I wound up winning my class for the year (GS). I plan on autocrossing again next year. I'm in the mountains of North Carolina. I will say that the car was originally intended to be a "second" car but it's really turned into more of a "first" car because it's so fun to drive, with the old ICE-powered SUV held in reserve only for multi-hour road trips.

My Smart EQ Fortwo is the happiest car purchase I have ever made! Doing boring adult tasks is so much easier knowing I am going to get to rip around town at lightning speed and park anywhere! 😅 I live in a very EV friendly place on the coast in Canada, so it's perfect for a year round short range EV. It's still a baby, under 14,000 klm, so I won't be replacing it anytime soon, but I will be looking at a Mini when the time comes!

@10lawngnomes37 Год назад

You nailed the US target market. Definitely looks like a fun 2nd car if you're anywhere that requires a primary car. (Or as we joke in Colorado, it'd be a good "Summer" car to go with a different "Winter" car)

@AnonymousFreakYT Год назад

Heck, I drove a BMW i3 (same basic power train) for years, and with proper winter tires (I used Bridgestone Blizzak) it is great on snow/ice. Drove it over mountain passes, to ski resorts, in terrible snow/ice storms regularly. The Mini SE might be slightly less competent due to being FWD instead of RWD, but it should handle winter fine. But again, spot on. Our longest trips in the i3 were in the 200-300 mile (each way) range. It handled those fine. And was a *GREAT* around-town car.

@Phlodo1 Год назад

I love my Mini SE. I think the range will work for more than city dwellers. It does make most sense for a 2 car household, but I would say it's a FIRST car, not a second. I live in the suburbs of a large Ohio city, and I have no problem getting anywhere in the greater city area. I'm hoping to learn to autocross it next summer! Thanks for a great calm and informative review!

@pillowpants337 Год назад

Agreed. The MINI SE reminds me of our eGolf which has a 200KM range (vs the 183 KM of the MINI), and we can go anywhere and do everything we need to do. As well, the MINI (like our eGolf) looks like a normal car - which is nice when so many new electric cars are going out of their way to be weird and funky.

@ArithonUK Год назад

You got some facts wrong. It’s a 125 mile car. 110 in the winter. In September I drove from Maidstone to Deal via the M2 and back via the M20 on a single charge and had 16% left on the battery. I had it in Green mode, but I didn’t spare the horses. It’s been my daily drive for a year and I get 4.3m/kWh AVERAGE. Despite my lead foot. Which is the second thing you missed ; efficiency. It’s damn efficient. Also, small battery= quick charge. The car takes 15-20 mins to get from 19% back up to 85%. And range is NOT an issue, at least in the UK. The second week I had it, I drove from Kent to Leeds. Two charge stops with 1hr 25 min drive between each. Relaxing. Finally - running cost. I drive the 13 mile round trip to work all week on a single £4 (off peak) overnight charge. My 2016 MINI cooper cost 20x as much in fuel. Since the government subsidies ended, it’s become expensive to buy, also because they dropped the entry (level 1) model. But compared to similar priced vehicles, only the the new MG4 comes even close. 😊

@transportevolved Год назад

Remember - we're in the U.S. ;) EPA rating for the MINI S.E. is 114 miles, but real-world is less.

@rogermartinez78 Год назад

@@transportevolved guys I own o Mini SE here in Southern California and I get between 115 and 140 per charge, I am not sure what the issue is and I agree with the person above from the UK. Also, the Mini charge to 80 percent in about 35 minutes.

Thanks for the positive review. We still love our 2022 SE after 13k miles. Even without the federal tax credit, it's still the cheapest electric sports car. The range issue reminded me of the suggestion by Click & Clack on the old Car Talk radio show. They recommended always renting a car for long trips to save your daily driver. Perfect advice for the SE if it's your only car.

@naturesrevolt Год назад

Midwest USA here. My only car is my mini se. I traded in a US version Opel Insignia with the same weight of vehicle. What I can say is that while road trips are a challenge with the SE in america it is possible with the nav and apps. About 1% per 70mph mile, and drafting behind large semi trucks works.

It was such a pleasure watching the two of you grin your way along that drive :-) Hey, Ian got the train to blow the horn! What a legend! Thanks to all the Patreon supporters, you all rock. I hope someone does take up the idea of starting a Mini Cooper electric race series, I would totally watch that. And I hope Mini follows your advice to make a custom-designed version of the car, with the original design goals in mind, and a larger battery! That would be a car people would scrimp and save to buy, and would likely become a collectors item. Tasty 🙂

@JustWasted3HoursHere Год назад

Many people may balk at the 100-ish miles range but it should be said that, for many people, this is perfectly fine. My current car is my first EV, which I bought used in 2020 (just before the you-know-what hit the fan), is a 2016 Kia Soul EV+. I got it for less than $13,000 with only about 17,000 miles in great condition. Anyway, it has a 93 mile range (about 110 miles if you're not driving on the highway), but for me that is more than enough 95% of the time because I work only about 10 miles from where I live, and on the days I visit my mom in the next town I can still make it all the way there and back on one charge.

Wife waiting for a level 3 Mini Electric black, with black alloys and yellow mirror caps. As replacement for a eGolf on lease. Did have a 2 day test drive and loved it. eGolf last time was a sensible choice, this time we went with the heart a bit more. And our small dog fits in boot fine, and 2 kids too. For school runs, town errands, etc, perfect!! And so much fun to drive!! Next Mini…: it will be a Countryman EV and a smaller 3 door built in China & Germany with shared platform with Ora/GWM, bit bigger battery…, and smaller outside but roomier inside as dedicated EV 👍

"A pocket rocket for people who want to live life at 100 miles of fun." BMW should use that quote and pay you. It's spot on. I just ordered one and it will be along 6 months until she's built. Can't wait! I think that post covid with more work from home, people are driving so much less. The car is a blast and I can't wait to zip around town in it. As for the range I simply don't get the argument. It's a city car. Most urban people don't drive a round trip of more than 100 miles a day. I drive max about 10 per day. Yea, it has a specific customer but that's fine. I am so glad that's me! I have a gas Mini Countryman and this is perfect companion.

@stevebritt Год назад

Just to add, when actually measured by other testers, the acceleration was found to be faster than rated and was limited by grip as much as by power (typically 0-60mph in 6.4 sec.). Also, most owners have found the range rating to be very conservative and more of a minimum.

As a 6’3” guy that has logged tens of thousands of miles in two different MINI’s I can say they’re my favorite. I buy a truck in a different state I drive a mini with a tow bar and tow it back. I drove 1000 miles for like $75. The JCW is the holy grail.

@gmosc Год назад

I love you guys. Love the channel. Will always watch But I'm realizing I don't care about "where the tires lose their grip" "having enough beans to get out of trouble" body roll, performance... I want a shopping car. I've never had a car that gets decent 0-60 speed. I want my car to simply get me there with my things cheaply. Along with watching your channels, I'm going to also try to find those RU-vid channels to add to my playlist that specializes in boring cheap practical cars. Probably my future will always be a used small ev for local and a 10 year old diesel for long hauls. Wish both could be electric, but I doubt it will happen for me in my lifetime. (And I will love to be proved wrong!) Keep up the great work.

@ronaldclarkson1146 Год назад

Kate hit it on the head. Brand. A lot of us have an emotional connection to the brand. It's just a fun, pricey, compliance car. If we accept that then we can still enjoy it.

@3_Klos1122 Год назад

I had a turbo on a powerstroke go out on me in a different state. When I picked the truck up I drove my mini there and was towing it back and the powerstroke turbo went out again so I pulled the truck over and unhooked the mini . I had to go get a truck and trailer to tow the powerstroke back to the repair shop. I was a state away from home so I wasn’t sure when I’d be back. The powerstroke had a service body so I wanted to get the tools out . I didn’t want them to get stolen and I didn’t know how long the repair would take. The MINI held every tool in that truck and held 100mph (could’ve went faster) the whole way home.

@elh93 Год назад

I'm 6'1" and while I do fit in a mini, the last time I sat in one the roof blocked a not insignificant amount of my view from the front. Any angle where I'd be able to safely see a lot of the lights would be quite uncomfortable. So I didn't even consider this Mini (I'd love a mini if I fit in one). Instead I'm going for an i4 M50.

@chrisalmy1 Год назад

I loved LOVED my 2005 MINI Cooper S. When I first switched to daily driving an EV back in 2013, it was my backup ICE car for years. I used it for auto crossing and some random long trips where there was a lack of charging infrastructure. But as time went on and I was able to travel further in the EV, my MINI started collecting dust. After hardly any use, I sold it last year. I almost considered getting the electric MINI as a replacement but couldn't justify the cost for such a niche part of my life (my Model 3 can handle my "spirted" driving needs anyway). This video makes me miss that car. Good to know I if I had a spare parking spot in the driveway and the cash, I could still get that itch scratched! LOL

@canis9178 Год назад

Looks safe and fun. Great show.

@ouch1011 Год назад

I like the quirkiness of the Mini. I’ve driven several ICE versions of these and the forced induction ones were quite fun. (Side note: I used to work for a European car specialist in downtown Seattle. The target buyer you explained for the Mini SE is exactly who buys the ICE Mini. Like…exactly) It has enough range for my commute and it would have been essentially a 2nd vehicle at the time. I considered buying one of these before EV prices went insane, but sadly I don’t fit in it. I have an abnormally long torso for a 6ft tall person (I have a 30” inseam for reference), and my head hits the ceiling even without trying to sit up straight. I also have to look out the very top of the windshield. I wanted it to work for me, but it doesn’t. I also have really strong concerns about long term reliability, since that was decided *not* a strong suit for the i3, which the majority of the drivetrain comes from. This might work fine for autocross, it would not work for a road course. Kyle Conner tried this back when they were doing the One Lap channel and it thermal throttled before one lap was through. The energy capacity is also too low. It might make it through 1 or 2 short heats on a road course, but that would be it, then it would need recharged. That’s not appropriate for a track day.

With the distances involved in the US the SE shouldn’t be compared with the cars capable of distance. This is a marvellous EU car. I’m approaching 30k mi in the UK since 2020, daily driving as a commute. It’s great on the back roads on the way to work. It is a great track car - we drove around the Goodwood circuit earlier this year for a charity event. It’s a car to be driven with fun.

@Hans-gb4mv Год назад

I have to disagree with your statement that the WLTP test cycle isn't realistic. In my experience it all comes down to your right foot. On a decent day, it isn't that hard to get your car to drive the WLTP distance if you keep your top speed and acceleration under control. My daily driver is a 2019 Hyundai Ioniq with a 28kWh battery. While this vehicle was never officially tested on the WLTP, it was tested on the NEDC which gives an even higher range than the WLTP. And the NEDC testing gives it a range of 280km. If we recalculate the WLTP range of the succesor, the 38kWh variant by dividing the 311km that scored by 38 and multiplying it by 28 you would end up with 229km. In the summers I've had my car, the GOM reads 300km. And from experience, I can assure you that I would be able to achieve that distance. And the 300km is a software limit. I've had multiple other owners confirm that they also cannot get the GOM to display more than 300km even though when you add the GOM and the distance driven together on a good summers day, you end up around 320km. That's driving further with the 28kWh version than the offical WLTP range of the 38kWh version. And with my previous ICE cars, I was also able to achieve the rated fuel consumption. And that is why I state that it really depends on your right foot.

@JP-sw5ho Год назад

Love your reviews

@chazsmith4351 Год назад

Nice review and it looks like you two had a great time doing it together with some wonderful weather and scenery. Clearly clearly the many and BMW influence produced a fun drivers car. I agree with the points that you made about the possibilities if a new version were built with an EV from the ground up mindset to make the most of the space available. Probably heretical to even think this but imagine a rear wheel drive rear motor mini with a frunk, probably an even tighter turning circle, and better use of the interior space and a still small easy to handle city car with perhaps a little more range and faster charging on par with the Volkswagen ID3. Such things are possible but not sure they are probable given what most of the people seem to want these days. SUVs and CUVs.

So I’m totally live commenting here. . . Y’all are calling Mini a pseudo premium brand when justifying the price and overlooking that Mazda is clearly in that space too (unless they’ve fallen considerably since the last time I owned and shopped for one in ‘17). They are often dismissed by non-car folks but clearly back in the days when it was 3, 6, CX-5, CX-9 I would have cross shopped any of those except the CX-5 against Cadillac or Audi. Lots of folks I knew back at that time were choosing the Mazda6 over BMW 3. And the 2010 Mazda3 I owned before purchasing an older Chrysler for size and horsepower reasons was every bit the luxury machine as Audi A3 of the same generation. That said, Mazda clearly tried to play the ‘We’re Mazda so it’s going to be weird’ card on their EV, charging the pseudo premium prices they get for the rest of their lineup and absolutely blew it on the execution of the vehicle. Sadly, I think Toyotas stake in the company has had a noticeable negative impact on them, and their laser focus on ICE before bans became reality was clearly a mistake. Yes, they put up a damn good FE fight against hybrids, but EV’s are a whole new level of efficiency.

Okay for a second BEV. I'd have to wait to see if the rest of the car has much better reliability than ICE Mini's. Paying BMW maintenance and repair costs always keeps a Mini off my shopping list.

100 miles of range is unacceptable.👎 200+ is standard 🤷🏼‍♂️

Too expensive for what it is/offers

I usually like your reviews, but what exactly was the point of this? A largely glowing review of a pricy car with a ludicrous 100 mile range? Would Kate be able to use this as her only car? I suggest you select a practical minimum range for future reviews, and stick with it.
