The biggest 小型の on the road has not only got even bigger ? it's 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d ahead with a fully electric 見解／翻訳／版.

And we've been の中で the first to 運動 the electrifying new 殴打／砲列-力／強力にするd family-friendly 小型の同国人 five-seater just ahead of first 配達／演説／出産s arriving in showrooms and on driveways from around about now.

It's the third 世代 of the 同国人 since the 指名する was 生き返らせるd in 2010 - the largest 乗り物 in the 小型の範囲 but the first to 申し込む／申し出 a 無-放出／発行s pure electric 選択と一緒に the 石油 in line with its 目的（とする） of becoming an all-electric brand by 2030 ? より小数の than six years away.

Bosses 約束 an 'electrified go-kart' experience with the 柔軟性 of the largest and most spacious 小型の on the market.

The biggest 小型の on the road has not only got even bigger ? it's 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d ahead with a fully electric 見解／翻訳／版. So, should you buy this 同国人 Electric instead of the 石油見解／翻訳／版?

But does the new 同国人 Electric live up to the hype??

We drove one in the sunnier climes of Portugal to find out and cast our final 判決 on whether it is better - or worse - than the racy 同国人 John Cooper 作品石油 we drove earlier.

This 小型の compact SUV really is a maxi and is 13cm longer and 6cm higher than the 同国人 it 取って代わるs, 申し込む／申し出ing more 内部の space for people and luggage, 含むing nearly 3cm of 付加 width in the shoulder area for the driver and 前線乗客, and 2.5cm of extra space for those in the 後部.

倍のing 負かす／撃墜する the 後部 seats 増加するs the 柔軟な space for luggage, sports 道具 other assorted 負担s more than three-倍の from 460 litres to 1,450 litres.

But it's still a far cry from the 初めの '10 ft square box' (around 308cm or just over 3m) 小型の created by design genius Sir Alec Issigonis which 激しく揺するd the world in 1959 and became an icon of the Swinging Sixties for the baby boomer 世代.

The exterior styling is cleaner with a new octagonal 取調べ／厳しく尋問する住宅 an 統合するd レーダ sensor to enable elements of level 2 半分-自治権のある運動ing.?

Daytime running lights can be switched to create three adjustable light 署名s.?

The 後部 tail-lights can even illuminate in a choice of patterns ? from the UK's Union 旗 to a sequence 奮起させるd by the game Tetris.

The 見解／翻訳／版 we drove has two electric モーターs, meaning it has a 範囲 of 266 miles. That's enough to get you, admittedly with very thrifty eco-運動ing and sweaty palms, from London to Middlesborough

Prices are around ￡5k more than for the 基準前線-wheel 運動同国人 E Electric with one モーター, costing from ￡42,080 to ￡45,780. But it has a わずかに longer 範囲 of up to 287 miles

There are three main 削減する levels across all electric and 石油 models : Classic; 排除的; and Sport.

Yet although it 飛行機で行くs the 旗 for Britain ? even on its Union 旗 tail-lights ? it is 現実に built in Germany.

There are two 見解／翻訳／版s of the 小型の同国人 Electric and we drove the more powerful 見解／翻訳／版 ? the 225kW (302 horsepower) all-wheel 運動 SE ALL4 costing from a hefty ￡47,180 (Classic) to ￡50,800 (Sport).

And it's up to more than ￡21,000 beyond the cheapest 石油見解／翻訳／版 ? the ￡29,335 同国人 C.

With 増加するing 競争 in the market ? and 特に from 中国 ? and in the 中央 of a cost-of-living 危機, that's a bold and 勇敢な示す-up 賞与金 to 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 for the 特権 of owning and 運動ing a family-sized electric 小型の.

運動ing it is a doddle and sure to put a smile on your 直面する.?

It's fun, nippy, grippy, engaging, zesty and ロケット／急騰するs around corners with a good pace for 追いつくing.

にもかかわらず its extra length it's 平易な to manoeuvre with a turning circle of 11.5 メーターs and a variety of 援助（する）s to help you park ? or even automatically park for you.

Tyres 範囲 from 17 インチ (the most eco-friendly ーに関して／ーの点でs of 存在 best for 範囲) to 20 インチ, with 21-インチ選択s also touted.

The 同国人's 数字表示式の central 陳列する，発揮する is 大規模な. At 9.4 インチs, its a high-鮮明度／定義審査する packed with info

Does the 同国人 have an electrifying cabin??

And, at 9.4 インチs (24cm), it too is big. And clever. Sat-Nav is also 経由で the circular 審査する, though here some ソフトウェア tweaks are needed as at times it appears やめる a cluttered 混乱させるing.

However, harking 支援する to the 初めの小型の (and to ありふれた sense) there are also brilliant toggle switches beneath the 陳列する，発揮する.

And it is from here that you can 'toggle' through a choice of eight different 直面するs or 'experience 方式s' to 始める，決める up your preferred '運動ing ambience' using 特に designed backgrounds and sounds.

Stylish vertical 空気／公表する vents are unique to 同国人 and it also gets a new chunky three-spoke steering wheel

Cars & モーターing 判決?

Last month, we gave my 査定／評価 of the 石油-力／強力にするd John Cooper 作品 ALL4version of the new 小型の同国人.

Now, having driven the 殴打／砲列-力／強力にするd 同国人 Electric ALL4 SE, we can compare the two ? and make a choice.

On paper, the 業績／成果人物／姿／数字s are tantalisingly 類似の and 説得力のある. Both 株 almost all the same of 内部の削減する and electronic 道具. And both 供給する a zesty fun-filled go-kart like 運動.

In a 0-to-62mph sprint, the sprightly 296hp JCW 勝利，勝つs by a mere 0.2 seconds, managing it in 5.4 seconds against the almost 平等に雷急速な／放蕩な 5.6 seconds acceleration of the 302hp all-electric 同国人 SE.?

Both are all-wheel 運動 and zippy both on bends and on the straight.

But while the electric 同国人運動s to an artificially produced electronic soundtrack, the quad exhaust 麻薬を吸うs of the JCW (even though 高めるd) give an old-school roar.
