By David Morley · 17 Mar 2025
Until the JCW version arrives, the SE is the top-rung Mini Aceman model. It's a range that is an EV-dedicated, SUV line-up that trades partly on its retro looks and charm.

By Byron Mathioudakis · 17 Aug 2024

Mini Cooper 2024 review: Electric - Australian first drive
By Byron Mathioudakis · 30 Jul 2024
The Mini Cooper is back, but this time in two very different versions, starting with a restyled petrol range. But only the all-electric 3dr hatch is truly all-new.

Mini Countryman 2024 review: Electric
By Tim Nicholson · 06 Mar 2024
The third-generation Mini Countryman ushers in some big changes over the old model. And size is just the beginning. It's significantly bigger than the previous version, and for the first time it gets an all-electric model. Some people don't see Mini as a family-friendly brand. But is this new Countryman the perfect electric car for a small family?
