What does the electric Mini Cooper SE sound like? A bit like a UFO, a bit like an internal combustion engine through a long pipe [video]

How does Mini Electric sound at low speed? This is a modulated UFO-like sound combined with highly distorted sound from some mechanical elements. As a result, the car is more associated with a mechanical device than the previous generation Renault Zoe.

Videos are taken from the official materials of the manufacturer. They were recorded in the United States, but the car has a UK registration, so expect to hear the universal sounds or sounds that come also in Europe. Unfortunately, in some frames, you can hear an additional whistle in the background, which slightly interferes with perception.

The sound of the Mini Electric sounds like an electronic one, but mechanical notes can also be heard in it. Interestingly, the car is quieter than the BMW C evolution electric scooter, which can be seen in further frames (from 1:05). The difference is quite significant - we suspect that, unlike a car, a scooter does not need an additional horn.
