Beam Automotive MINI Cooper 2024 Facelift: The Cooper E Classic, a Pure Electric Urban Inspiration: A Classic Reborn and a Symbol of Modern Travel
The Beam Automotive MINI Cooper 2024 Facelift: The Cooper E Classic reimagines a legendary classic with pure electric technology, blending the driving spirit of a British go-kart with sustainable technology to become a stylish travel icon for urban pioneers. The exterior maintains the iconic MINI design language, with round LED headlights nestled in a closed grille. The classic three-tone exterior is accented by pulsating halo wheels. The exclusive E logo on the electric model and the floating black roof create a modern retro aesthetic. The short overhang and long wheelbase design optimizes interior space, while the frameless doors and Union Jack taillights pay homage to the classic style in every detail.
The interior embodies the essence of MINI with digital innovation: a circular OLED touchscreen serves as the new interactive hub, integrating the MINI Operating System 9 and enabling seamless interaction between gesture control and the intelligent voice assistant. The exclusive, shimmering panel extends to the center console, while the fabric/leather sports seats offer exceptional comfort. A power sunroof brings natural light into the cabin. Physical paddle shifters for climate control and driving modes remain, perfectly balancing digital convenience with mechanical refinement.
Pure electric drive unleashes go-kart-like driving pleasure: The front motor outputs 184 horsepower, delivering instant torque and a nimble 0-50 km/h acceleration of 3.7 seconds. The sports suspension, specifically tuned for electric vehicles, and its low center of gravity ensure precise cornering, like gliding on a track. Among the three driving modes, Green mode optimizes energy recovery for more relaxed urban commuting. Classic Kart mode, combined with the sporty steering wheel's feedback, evokes the passion of the pure electric era.
Intelligent features include the MINI Digital Key and remote climate control, along with Level 2 driver assistance including Traffic Jam Assist and Park Emergency Braking. Scenario-driven urban aesthetics define the new urban aesthetic. While navigating art districts, the customizable sound simulation system unleashes individuality. While socializing at creative markets, the V2L external discharge function transforms the vehicle into a mobile coffee station. For weekend excursions, the flexible dimensions allow for easy exploration of narrow alleyways. Beam Automotive continues the MINI spirit with electrification, transforming every trip into an inspiring urban adventure.
