Mini Australia has reduced the price of the Mini Cooper Electric by ~$20,000 down to $49,990 drive away until the end of the year, or until stocks last.
Power: 135kW / 290Nm
Range: 233KM
0-80% Charge: 36mins
Important things to note:
Next-Gen Mini Cooper Electric arrives next year. It will be made in China by Great Wall Motors. See more info here: https://www.drive.com.au/news/2024-mini-cooper-electric-hatc…
There are other Chinese made EV’s around the same (or less money) that will offer more range/value for money:
- Tesla Model 3 RWD (if you want a sedan, and are happy getting the current pre-facelift model)
- MG 4
- BYD Dolphin
- BYD Atto 3 (if you want a compact SUV)
- BYD Seal (if you want a sedan)
- GWM Ora
But for the people that love the Mini style, want a European brand and live inner city, this could be ideal.
Drive away price based on a new, base model featured vehicle and excludes: (a) the cost of any options; and (b) the effect of any discount, rebate or promotion.
Drive away price is recommended by MINI Australia, but individual dealers may charge a different dealer delivery fee – which may be higher or lower.
Prices shown are the manufacturer’s recommended prices and include applicable GST. Above amounts do not include any manufacturer rebates, incentive payments or alike which may affect tax and duty amounts calculated. The Recommended Drive Away Price includes 12 months’ registration and compulsory third party insurance (CTP) and is based on a private owner aged 40 with a good driving record and the vehicle being garaged in the postcode entered.
This is a manufacturer's publication, and new vehicles must be purchased from authorised MINI dealers. The actual drive away price may vary according to different states in Australia and individual circumstances (including, in NSW and QLD, the choice of insurer) and may vary from dealer to dealer. Financing, leasing, hiring or credit costs associated with the purchase of the vehicle are not included. Please consult your MINI dealer to confirm the price that is specific to you.
All information is current as at the date of publication and assumes that delivery of the vehicle occurs at the dealer's premises. Some information used in this price calculator is sourced from third parties. BMW Group Australia has taken all reasonable efforts to ensure that the pricing information is accurate, but does not guarantee its accuracy.
@LFO: Compare toys and gadgets worth hundreds of dollars to cars worth several tens of thousands of dollars.
What a funny fellow you are!
PS: Have a Chinese-made bike. I bought it used for $40, so I haven't unduly enriched the bad guys. You go right ahead if you're so impatient for a new car. I'll choose where my money goes, thank you!
