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.
The 2020 Mini Cooper is a fun and funky small hatchback that trades practicality and value for character and quality.
Pros Playful like a puppy German-backed quality British character Loads of customizable options
Cons Limited interior space Gets expensive fast Overly kitschy to many Cramped cargo space
