The Mini Cooper SE will be fitted with a 33 kWh battery and a 184 hp electric-engine, a combination that gives Mini the opportunity to offer an excellent compromise between smooth performance, a low weight (1,345 kilograms) and a respectable autonomy. On paper, the manufacturer recorded a sprint of 0 to 100 km\/h in 7.3 seconds and the WLTP homologated driving range is 232 kilometres. Charging is possible with an (optional) three-phase charger, which will charge the battery up to 80 percent in less than 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column image--number right\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>10<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image us_custom_ff58f711 align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/89679266.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large lazyload\" alt=\"Mini Cooper SE\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/89679266.webp 400w, https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/89679266-300x225.webp 300w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 400\/300;\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_large\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_grid cols_1-2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:3rem;--laptops-columns-gap:3rem;--tablets-columns-gap:3rem;--mobiles-columns-gap:1rem;\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column image--number left\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>11<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image us_custom_ff58f711 align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-src=\"https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/nuova-renault-captur-2020-1024x576.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large lazyload\" alt=\"Renault Captur (E-Tech)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/nuova-renault-captur-2020-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/nuova-renault-captur-2020-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/nuova-renault-captur-2020-1500x844.webp 1500w, https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/nuova-renault-captur-2020.webp 1920w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/576;\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Renault Captur (E-Tech)<\/h3>\n<p>The Renault Captur, last year\u2019s bestselling compact SUV in Europe has just been completely revamped.

This is especially noticeable under the surface: for example, the CMP platform of the Peugeot 208 and DS 3 Crossback serves as the technical basis. This way, Corsa is also, for the first time, launching its completely electric Corsa-e on the market, with a 50 kWh battery that will allow the German city-car to travel approximately 330 kilometres.

Apart from the classic 1.2 PureTech turbo petrol (100, 130 or 155 hp) or the 1.5 BlueHDi diesel with 100 or 130 hp, there is thus also an electric e-2008, which is similar to the Hyundai Kona Electric, Kia e-Niro\u2026 and the other cousin from the PSA camp, the DS 3 Crossback E-Tense.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column image--number right\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>14<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image us_custom_ff58f711 align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-src=\"https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Peugeot_e-2008_SUV-01@2x-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large lazyload\" alt=\"Peugeot e-208\/e-2008\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Peugeot_e-2008_SUV-01@2x-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Peugeot_e-2008_SUV-01@2x-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Peugeot_e-2008_SUV-01@2x-1500x844.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Peugeot_e-2008_SUV-01@2x.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/576;\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_large\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_grid cols_1-2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:3rem;--laptops-columns-gap:3rem;--tablets-columns-gap:3rem;--mobiles-columns-gap:1rem;\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column image--number left\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>15<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image us_custom_ff58f711 align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-src=\"https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/29373-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large lazyload\" alt=\"Polestar 2\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/29373-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/29373-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/29373-1500x1125.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/29373.jpg 1600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/768;\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Polestar 2<\/h3>\n<p>They may not be good at thinking of names, but apart from this, Polestar, the electric sub-brand of Volvo, definitely deserves the benefit of the electric doubt.

Under the surface, the Tesla relies on the known drive technology, with a selection from a Long Range with rear-wheel drive (540 km autonomy), a Long Range Dual Motor (four-wheel drive, 505 km autonomy) and a Performance (four-wheel drive, 480 km autonomy and 0 to 100 in 3.7 seconds).

ID.5?) models in the pipeline, which could possibly be based on the I.D. Buzz-, I.D. Crozz- and I.D. Vizzion- concept cars. In order to attract the widest possible public, Volkswagen offers its ID.3 in three different battery versions: an entry level of 45 kW that guarantees a driving range of 330 kilometres, a medium-size variant of 58 kW (420 km action radius) and a top version with 77 kW and a WLTP driving range of 550 kilometres.
