The MINI Cooper SE was launched last month, which is the first all-electric MINI ever in Malaysia. Well, MINI Malaysia has just introduced the MINI Electric First Edition, only 15 units will be available in Malaysia.
Exterior wise, the First Edition looks quite similar to the regular Cooper SE, but with some changes here and there. It still has the same front-mounted electric motor, producing 135kW/184hp and 270Nm torque. The car has a top speed of 150km/h and 0 to 100km/h will take you 7.3 seconds. It comes with a 28.9kWh 12-module T-shaped battery that can also be recharged up to 80% within just two and a half hours with the MINI Wallbox Plus.
