The iconic 1960s MINI was launched in Britain in 1959 and captured the imagination of the nation as the leading small-compact car. It dominated the small car space for 50 years and still proves a popular choice for British drivers. Well known for its excellent handling, comfortable ride and compact body, the MINI has become a popular car for mothers through to racing drivers (as demonstrated in its famed appearance in the film ‘The Italian Job’).
In 2017 MINI continued to innovate and dominate the market, this time by announcing the arrival of their first major electric/petrol hybrid car. For sale in the UK, the MINI Cooper S E All4 PHEV combines the best of petrol and electric engine. With its new hybrid engine, the MINI Cooper just became even more cost-effective, reasonable and great to drive.
Eastern Western have been selling cars used and new since 1927 and our customers can find a variety of MINI hybrid cars for sale across all our main dealerships including Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The MINI Cooper All4 PHEV boasts the same iconic shape and performance of its petrol equivalent but also provides a cost-saving hybrid engine that uses a 7.6kWh battery that can generate up to 25 miles range on electric alone. Once you’ve used all 25 miles of electric power, the 1.5 petrol engine kicks in to keep you moving whilst recharging the battery so that you can continue to cut down on fuel consumption.
To charge the MINI hybrid to full requires just 3 hours 15 minutes, but this can be reduced further using a Chargemaster wallbox. It also boasts tons of great cost benefits such as a £2,500 green car subsidy and road tax exemptions in the first year of ownership.
