On January 19, the electric MINI COOPER PAUL SMITH Designer Edition opened for pre-order. From now until its official launch, customers who place a deposit can lock in the first batch of vehicles and also enjoy a 10,000 yuan pre-sale purchase benefit. The new car is available in three paint colors: Parchment White, Dawn Grey, and Midnight Black, with two roof styles, resulting in 6 possible combinations of paint and roof.

In terms of exterior, the new car is built on the electric MINI COOPER SE, with the three paint colors Parchment White, Dawn Grey, and Midnight Black specially formulated by designer Paul Smith. The inspiration for Parchment White comes from the classic "Old English White," while the inspiration for Dawn Grey comes from "Speedwell Blue." The "Nottingham Green" of the roof is inspired by the designer's hometown, and this all-new green is also applied to the wheel center caps, intake grille surround, exterior mirror caps, and other areas.

In terms of interior, the new car adds a colorful striped webbing and an exclusive nameplate at the six o'clock position on the steering wheel. The instrument panel is covered in a dark-striped fabric material, paired with black-and-blue two-tone fabric seats, and the door sill plates are printed with the designer's motto, "Every day is a new beginning."

In terms of power, for reference, the electric MINI COOPER SE is equipped with a front-mounted motor with a maximum power of 160kW, a peak torque of 330N·m, and accelerates from 0-100km/h in 7.1 seconds. A 54.2kWh battery pack provides a CLTC range of 463km.

Dada Commentary: The electric MINI and the gasoline MINI are highly consistent in handling feel, but lack the fuel engine sound and the mechanical feel of gear shifts. The body has a low center of gravity, with front-to-rear weight distribution close to 50:50, minimal body roll in corners, and tracking performance consistent with the gasoline version. The official guide price of the electric MINI COOPER PAUL SMITH Designer Edition is 243,900 yuan, slightly higher than the regular version. The electric MINI COOPER PAUL SMITH Designer Edition has stronger personality and cultural attributes, making it suitable for buyers with sufficient budget and cultural identification.
