The future is covered in polar white - The MINI Cooper SE Resolute Edition in Nanuq White.

Richmond Hill, ON.  In the language of the Inuit, Nanuk means "polar bear". The new bodycolor Nanuq White for the MINI Cooper SE in the Resolute Edition is reminiscent of the light-colored fur of the impressive inhabitants of the northern polar regions. Even in the extreme sub-zero temperatures prevailing there, the electric drive, high-voltage battery, power electronics and charging technology impress with reliably high performance. Its 135 kW/184 hp electric motor is equally impressive. It accelerates the MINI Cooper SE from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.3 seconds. With no gearshift interruptions, the powerful character of the polar white special model thus comes across particularly intensively.

Drivers of the iconic MINI 3-door can individually change the vehicle's responsiveness through the various MINI Driving Modes, choosing between the impulsive SPORT Mode through MID to the very economical GREEN+ Mode.

Exclusive equipment details

In the Resolute Edition, the exclusively designed hood stripes with their color gradient from a light to a dark gold tone as well as the eponymous edition lettering "RESOLUTE" emphasize the sporty yet elegant character of the special model. Customers can opt for a Nanuq White paint finish for the roof and mirror caps or set an exciting contrast in black. 17-inch light-alloy wheels in the Tentacle Spoke Black variant round off the exterior features of the edition model in style.

The graphic, evenly curved lines in a light gold tone create a sophisticated striped pattern on the interior dashboards. For short sprints as well as longer journeys, the comfortable sports seats with armrests and knee rolls provide comfortable support. They are part of the MINI Yours Leather Lounge equipment variant and are offered in the MINI Resolute Edition in Carbon Black. Other equipment highlights in the interior include the anthracite-colored headliner, sun-protective glazing, and the particularly easy-grip sports steering wheel in Nappa finish.

In the cockpit, the eDrive services on the display of the central instrument provide information on current energy consumption as well as range and give tips on economical driving.

In Canada, the Resolute Edition can be equipped as a package for $1,300 CAD, and will be available on the Cooper S 3-Door, Cooper SE 3-Door, as well as Cooper S 5-Door. The MINI Yours Leather Lounge Carbon Black interior is available for an additional $2,250.
