Mini has released full details for its petrol- and electric-powered Cooper three-door hatch after pricing was released online earlier this week.
The entire range is due here in the third quarter of 2024.
The Mini Cooper range actually consists of two different but very similarly styled vehicles: a petrol-powered version on an updated version of the existing platform, and an electric model on a new platform developed with GWM.
