2024 Mini Cooper EV Will Have a 240-Mile Range

The current-generation electric Mini Cooper SE

The new Mini Cooper hasn’t been officially revealed just yet, but a number of British automotive journalists were invited to a preview event where they got an early look at the redesigned Cooper. The car itself was covered in camouflage, and, well, looks about like you’d expect the next-generation Mini to look. What’s more interesting, though, are the details that Mini executives shared at the event.
