The Mini Cooper SE has finally been launched in India via the CBU route. Available in a sole, fully loaded trim, it has been priced at Rs 47.20 lakh (ex-showroom). Interestingly, only 30 units of the electrified Cooper were allotted for the first batch and all have already been booked. But there is nothing to worry about as the bookings for the second lot will commence in March 2022.

Mini Cooper SE – Design and Features
The Mini Cooper SE looks largely similar to its ICE counterpart, albeit with a few unique elements such as a larger closed-off front grille, slightly tweaked front bumper, and bright yellow highlights on outside mirrors & new 17-inch alloy wheels. It also sits 15mm higher than its ICE version.
Inside, the all-electric Mini boasts the same dashboard layout as the standard model. However, the yellow highlights continuos inside the cabin as well.
In terms of features, the 3-door electrified hot-hatch comes equipped with premium Nappa leatherette upholstery, a sleek 5.5-inch digital driver’s display, an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with connected car technology, Apple Carplay, a heads-up display, a Harman Kardon audio system, ambient lighting, panoramic glass roof, and a host of tactile controls on the console.
