Who it suits

Drivers who want a fun, premium small electric hatchback for town. It makes 160 kW, does 0 to 100 km/h in about 6.7 seconds, has 402 km claimed range (about 280 km at highway speed) and charges on DC at up to 95 kW (about 30 minutes for 10 to 80%).

Who should look elsewhere

Families, since it is three-door only and we have not found the boot size. The battery warranty is 100 000 km, shorter than the 160 000 to 200 000 km on several rivals. In South Africa it is badged Cooper SE, so check the name when you shop.
