MINI Malaysia introduces 15-unit limited edition MINI Electric First Edition



MINI Malaysia has unveiled a new limited edition version of the MINI Cooper SE launched last month. Dubbed the MINI Electric First Edition, the 15-unit-only limited edition model is priced at RM238,380.78, on the road, without insurance, and inclusive of the sales tax exemptions effective until the end of 2020.

Electric juice is provided by the same 28.9 kWh battery, offering an electric driving range of 234 km on a full charge, based on the WLTP cycle. To top up the battery, the 11 kW standard three-pin cable provided with the car charges from 0-80% in 12 hours, while the MINI Wallbox Plus three-phase 22 kW charger tops it up in 3.5 hours (2.5 hours to 80%).
