Introducing the MINI hybrid and electric range
Renowned for their go-kart handling and easily recognisable due to their iconic looks, the MINI range has expanded over the years to include larger vehicles to meet the growing demands for family vehicles.
MINI are continuing to meet the evolving demands and now have a selection of hybrid and electric models which make up the eletric MINI family.
Discover the fully-electric and hybrid models available in more detail below.
What are the different types of hybrid and electric vehicles?
Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV)
Mild hybrid systems assist the ICE and improve fuel economy by harvesting and storing energy that is normally lost when braking.
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
HEVs combine an ICE with an electric motor and battery pack that is charged through regenerative braking to offer all-electric driving for short distances.
Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHEV)
A PHEV uses a similar setup to a HEV, but has a much larger battery pack to offer a more substantial all-electric range. You will need to plug in to fully recharge.
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)
BEVs only use an electric motor and battery pack for power, producing zero tailpipe emissions and impressive all-electric ranges. There is no combustion engine, so you will need to plug in to recharge.
Benefits of buying an electric MINI
There are numerous advantages to driving an electrified MINI, including:
- Low Running Costs: The cost of charging compared to refuelling is considerably less expensive, and you will also benefit from free road tax
- Zero Emissions: Electric cars are better for the environment and emit no tailpipe emissions, meaning you will not be charged to enter ULEZ zones
- Performance: Thanks to instantaneous torque, electric cars offer a unique and exciting driving experience
- Cutting-Edge Technology: As competition hots up, innovation is rife within the plug-in hybrid segment, meaning you will enjoy the latest technology
