Tradition Meets Future, The Mini Cooper SE’s Electrifying Resolute Edition

Fusing the old with the new, to convey a message that sustainability can be pleasurable, behold the Mini Cooper SE Resolute Edition.

This version of the purely electrically powered model based on the Mini 3 door offers a particularly appealing blend of classic sporty flair and emission-free driving.

First off, the Mini Cooper SE transfers the brand’s hallmark go-kart feeling to the world of electric mobility with its 135 kW (184 hp) electric motor and agile handling.

Its range of up to 234 km (WLTP), enables locally emission-free driving fun both in an urban setting and on outings well beyond the city limits. 

Specifically, it has a combined power consumption of 17.6 – 15.2 kWh/100 km and CO2 emissions of 0 g/km (WLTP). 

Now, making it to be the Resolute Edition is its exclusive design that is a striking embodiment of individual style. 

Stunningly, it comes with a body finish in Rebel Green, which was previously exclusive for the extremely athletic John Cooper Works models.

Then, the contrasting Pepper White finish on the roof and exterior mirror caps exudes a sporty appeal in tradition-steeped British style.

The deliberate avoidance of chrome elements on the exterior provides a look ahead to the future, and instead, the hallmark design features are finished in exclusive Resolute Bronze. 

These include the surrounds of the headlights, radiator grille and rear lights, the side scuttles on the front side panels and the handles of the doors and tailgate. 

By contrast, the surrounding strip at the lower edge of the windscreen is finished in Piano Black, as are the inner frame of the radiator grille, the brand logos and the model inscription.

Moreover, the unmistakable appearance of the Resolute Edition is further enhanced by means of bonnet stripes in an exclusive design. 

Like the door sill trims, they feature a pattern made up of parallel lines with a colour gradient that runs between a light and a dark shade of gold, along with the inscription ‘RESOLUTE’. 

Completing the exterior, the Resolute Edition rides on a set of 17-inch alloy wheels in Electric Collection Spoke design. 

Alternatively, light alloy wheels of the same format are also available, but come in the variant Tentacle Spoke Black.

Diving inside, the Resolute Edition features fabric and leatherette seats in Black Pearl and Light Chequered, an anthracite-coloured roof liner, as well as black armrests and knee rolls.

Plus, the sports leather steering wheel in Nappa finish bears an edition-specific Mini Resolute logo on the lower spoke.

Meanwhile, evenly curved lines in a light golden tone forms an exquisite pinstripe pattern on the interior surfaces, significantly, on the dashboard.

That’s not all, the Resolute Edition also has state-of-the-art equipment features in the areas of driver assistance, infotainment and connectivity. 

For instance, the optional driver assistance package includes a lane departure warning function that alerts the driver to the risk of leaving the lane unintentionally by vibrating the steering wheel.

Next, Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function. Included in Driver Assistant Plus, it ensures optimised comfort both on lengthier journeys and in gridlocked traffic. 

Infotainment-wise, it gets an aesthetically modern looking 8.8-inch graphic display that features the latest generation of the Mini operating system.

It is optimised for quick and intuitive control of the vehicle functions, audio programme, communication, navigation and apps.

In addition, numerous digital services are available to enhance driving fun by means of high-quality convenience and entertainment functions.

All in all, the traditionally designed and futuristic drive technology of the Mini Cooper SE Resolute Edition is now on sale.
