Here at Sandal MINI, we love a good road trip—especially when it's behind the wheel of an electric powerhouse like the MINI Cooper SE. Recently, our Marketing Executive, Luke, decided to put the MINI Cooper SE to the test on a 200-mile trip through the stunning Yorkshire Dales, as part of the Dales MINI Run. Here’s how it all unfolded.
With a nearly full battery, Luke was ready for the day’s journey. His first stop? A short 10-mile drive through some gorgeous countryside to the Woodhouse campsite, the starting point of the Dales MINI Run. When he arrived, he was greeted by a sea of MINIs—classic models, modern ones, and everything in between. The energy was high, and it was clear this was going to be an adventure to remember.
As the MINI Run got underway, Luke found himself driving through the beautiful, rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales. With the sun shining and perfect driving weather, the MINI Cooper SE was in its element. About 80 miles into the journey, the scenery was so breathtaking that Luke couldn’t help but pull over and take some photos. His MINI Cooper SE, set against the picturesque Dales, made for a fantastic shot.
After snapping a few photos, Luke checked his battery and was pleasantly surprised to see he still had 160 miles of range left! Talk about peace of mind on a long trip. Re-joining the convoy, Luke continued on to Brymor Ice Cream, a local favourite, for a well-deserved break with the other MINI enthusiasts.
After the ice cream stop, it was time for the final leg of the journey. Luke zipped through the Dales, enjoying the MINI’s go-kart like feeling, responsive handling and silent power. When he rolled back into the Woodhouse campsite at the end of the day, he was met with a few surprised faces. How could an all-electric MINI make it through a 200-mile run on a single charge? Even more impressive, Luke still had 98 miles of range left in the battery!
After a full day of driving through the Yorkshire Dales and enjoying the MINI Run, Luke made the trip back to Leeds. And the best part? When he pulled into his driveway, his MINI Cooper SE still had 45 miles of range left!
