Mini Cooper SE review: the electric hot-hatch is here A really nice review of the SE (2022 model), acknowledging all of its strengths instead of just focusing on range.
I assume their version of traction control off is just DTC off not full disable? I need to play around with the sporty dynamics more. A car meant to be driven after all
Questions about TechRadar's editorial rigor arise immediately when I see a photo of a 2022 SE below the words "110 miles at a time." The article hammers on the SE's 110-mile EPA range over and over, making me wonder if the writer, Myriam Joire, was simply sourcing an old MINI Cooper SE review for specs. Where did she get the 0-60 mph time of 6.5 seconds? I don't miss the option of yellow seatbelts Myriam begs for and I was surprised to learn the HUD is a color display even though I use it every day. Did it change for 2022?
I've seen the HUD show speed limit signs in Germany with their red outline, so I'd guess it can do color?
I read it as fully disabled, but maybe I'm projecting. The reviewer seemed rather familiar with driving FWD vehicles. My 2021 SE has a color HUD. On turn-by-turn I get green to show which lane to be in.
My 2021's HUD is also in color. Most evident with navigation graphics and when scrolling through radio presets/media playlists.
Oh, I forgot about the navigation display on the HUD. I'm always driving in known territory so I never use the nav.
Many European parking stalls are only 7.5-7.8 feet wide and parallel parking spaces might be as little as 6.5 feet wide. Downsizing to a MINI does wonders for your garage space. I've reclaimed almost 4 feet (length) in the garage.
