Abarth 500s and Mini Coopers have tussled since the 1960s but now there's a new, electrified twist
Electric cars are the new frontier, the opportunity to try something new. Or not. If we’re realistic, the pool of adventurous early adopters who are open to buying a radical-looking starship has been mostly exhausted by now. Many other buyers, even if they can hold their nose at the high prices of electric cars , want something more familiar. And that’s where we are today.
It charges a bit more quickly too. Mini Cooper SE vs Abarth 500e: interior Inside, it feels much more like the small premium car you expect for the price, whereas the Abarth has stronger ‘tarted-up city car’ vibes. Sure, the Italians know how to wield the Alcantara, and they’ve deployed it liberally and successfully, but it can’t cover up all the hard plastics or that compromised driving position. There’s evidence of cost cutting in the Cooper too, mind.
