First Comparison:
The Electric J01 MINI Cooper SE Vs The Petrol F66 MINI Cooper S
Auszug:
„(…) The J01 MINI Cooper and a ground-up EV which means it’s all new and designed with a skateboard chassis as a starting point. This has allowed the J01 to have subtle yet at times substantial differences in shape. At first glance it looks relatively similar to the F56 (and its successor the F66) in shape. Yet getting these two next to each other makes it clear just how much MINI has rethought the Cooper with the J01. That rethink is partially about moving into a new design direction MINI calls this charismatic simplicity. But perhaps an even bigger reason was that MINI was after a dramatic improvement in one key stat – drag co-efficient.
The first thing that starring us in the face was the altered geometry of the J01. The cowl (where the windshield meets the bonnet) is further forward allowing the windshield to be more angled. This was critical in allowing the J01 to have a dramatic increase in aero efficiency. This was a big part of how MINI was able to reduce the drag co-effecient from 0.34 on the F56 down to only 0.26. For an upright small car that number is rather astounding.
The more you look the more you see changes driven by the wind. If you could look from directly above the J01 you’d also notice a more tapered rear of the car where the F66 is much more square. This is especially evident if you stand just off the rear taillights looking towards the front of the car. (…)“

Der Countryman stellt sich als sehr großer Bruder dazwischen und dennoch fallen Unterschiede sofort ins Auge. Ich finde den J01 gelungen und vermisse dort nach nun einigen Monaten Eingewöhnung eigentlich gar nichts mehr. Der MINI F66 hat die Radläufe noch. Darüber kann man streiten ob man das unbedingt benötigt. Der eine mag es und der andere hat es lackieren lassen. In jedem Fall hat MINI einerseits alte Dinge in die neuen Modelle einfließen lassen und in den Elektroautos mehr gewagt. Gute Entscheidung, wie ich finde
