Foreshadowing the future of MINI, the brand’s first fully-electric car is almost ready to hit dealerships. The 2020 Cooper SE is a MINI 2-door hardtop at its core with its drive technology from parent company BMW. Under the hood is an electric motor fed by a high-voltage lithium-ion battery positioned in the vehicle floor. This setup lowers the center of gravity as compared with the gas-powered version contributing to this model’s even more agile handling, according to MINI. Luggage volume hasn’t been compromised. As a matter of fact, the only measurable difference is that the body rides less than an inch higher to accommodate the battery.
