In my daft, nostalgic brain a Mini should cost peanuts, have a tiny petrol motor, weigh as much as a Coke can (and the crash resistance: Ed), have three pedals and gear stick, and be built by a chap called Reg in Oxford, England. Neither is cheap. Were firmly in Tesla Model Y, Kia EV5, VW ID.4 Range may be challenging for buyers.

That said, 3.5 seconds to 100km/h is rarely boring.
