MINI India is set to launch its first all-electric vehicle, the MINI Electric in India today, and we’ll be bringing you all the live updates here. Also called the MINI Cooper SE in some markets, this is the second electric vehicle from BMW Group India after the BMW iX, which was launched in India last year. MINI opened pre-bookings for its electric vehicle in October 2021, for a token of ₹ 1 lakh. Within days the entire first batch of 30 cars was sold out.

The electric hatchback can sprint from 0-100 kmph in 7.3 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 150 kmph. Compared to the petrol model, the electric version is about 145 kg heavier.
