2025 Mini Cooper E and Mini Aceman E to be culled for pricier models

Mini Australia has confirmed it’s started withdrawing the 2025 Mini Cooper E and 2025 Mini Aceman E just months after they landed in Australian dealerships.

As part of a new shift toward offering more expensive variants, the local operation has introduced a $7500 discount on the three-door hatch and a bigger $11,500 price cut to the Aceman E in an effort to clear stock and make way for other grades.

Production of both entry-level models for our market will end in March 2025, despite the Cooper E only landing in July last year and the Aceman E in October.

Once the decks are clear, the Mini EV range will kick off with the pricier SE models – $58,990 (Cooper) and $60,990 (Aceman) plus ORCs – with buyers only offered the option of upgrading to the flagship John Cooper Works.

While the Cooper E and Aceman E share 135kW/290Nm single-motor powertrains and 40.7kWh battery or 42.5kWh batteries, the SE versions get more power (160kW), a larger 54.2kWh battery and WLTP cruising ranges north of 400km.

Other benefits of the more expensive SE include a power adjustable seat, Harmon Kardon premium sound system and faux leather upholstery.
