For drivers who want their retro British hatchback with modern-day electric driving range, the 2020 Mini Cooper S E is a car worth waiting for. The EV shares its shape with the iconic two-door Mini Cooper Hardtop and should be just as spunky. Look for the Cooper S E to go on sale in early 2020.

British character
Loads of customizable options

Overly kitschy to many
Cramped cargo space
