MINI Electric
MINI Electric Level 1
Replaced in 2024 by the MINI Cooper · Compare old and new
The compact MINI Electric Level 1 suits city parking and narrow streets. Its boot is smaller than those of most rival hatchbacks in this comparison, so check luggage space against your everyday needs.
By eight years on the road it should still hold about 84% of its battery health, roughly 147 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you're buying used. What owners say: Owners consistently say it is huge fun to drive, with instant acceleration, sharp handling and the feel of a MINI. Range is the big compromise: owners typically report 100 to 140 miles in summer and 60 to 100 in winter, and far less at 70 mph.

What Owners Say
BalancedOwners Love
- Owners consistently say it is huge fun to drive, with instant acceleration, sharp handling and the feel of a MINI.
- It is very efficient on local roads, with owners reporting 4 to 6 miles per kWh or more and tiny running costs on an off-peak tariff.
- Servicing is cheap and simple, mostly checks and software updates.
Watch Out For
- Range is the big compromise: owners typically report 100 to 140 miles in summer and 60 to 100 in winter, and far less at 70 mph.
- The range estimate is widely described as pessimistic and unreliable.
- It is small inside, with three doors, a small boot and tight rear seats.
Owner Tips
- Buy one only if your regular trips are well under 100 miles, with home charging.
- Use one charging scheduler (the car's or the charger's, not both) to avoid conflicts.
- Precondition the car while plugged in on cold days.
