Munich. The all-electric MINI Countryman models – MINI Countryman E and MINI Countryman SE All4 – are destined to set new benchmarks with technological innovations arriving in March 2026, while showcasing notable versatility as compact SUVs suited for everyday life.
The MINI Countryman E offers a purely electrical range up to 500 kilometers (WLTP), transforming the largest model in the MINI family into a particularly attractive companion for any adventure. The significantly increased range is achieved due to a combination of innovative technical solutions. At its heart is the new silicon carbide (SiC) inverter, which guarantees highly efficient energy conversion and minimizes power losses. This is complemented by an increase in the net capacity of the high-voltage storage system of 65,2 kWh, which enables more usable energy. In addition, friction-reduced wheel bearings on the front axle reduce rolling resistance and therefore contribute to overall optimization.
Versatility for everyone’s requirement- comfort and space at
the highest level.
The all-electric MINI Countryman blends the brand´s signature
driving fun with remarkable versatility, making it ideal for any
challenge. With its generous interior dimensions and a variable trunk
volume of up to 1.450 liters, it offers enough space for the whole
family, luggage or sports equipment – perfect for everyday use as well
as for weekend trips or longer journeys. The increased range of the
MINI Countryman E up to 500 kilometers (WLTP) or the MINI Countryman
SE All4 up to 467 kilometers create new freedom and significantly
reduce charging requirements. Whether in the countryside or on the
highway – thanks to fast DC charging technology, the all- electric
MINI Countryman can charge the battery from 10 to 80 percent in less
than 30 minutes.
Modern design with an expressive identity.
The exterior of the all-electric MINI Countryman emphasizes
its identity with specific design elements and aerodynamic
optimizations. A particularly expressive example of this is the
exclusive Favoured Trim, which accentuates the model with thoughtfully
curated details such as the Blazing Blue body colour, a vibrant silver
roof and mirror caps as well as the 20” alloy wheels featuring the
Windmill Spoke Design. It underscores the MINI Countryman´s dynamic
and modern appearance. With a drag coefficient (Cd Value) of just
0.26, the design makes a significant contribution to efficiency and range.
Innovative technologies and advanced driver assistance systems
for greater safety and comfort.
In the interior, the central 24 cm OLED display offers
intuitive operation of all infotainment and driver assistance systems
enabling autonomous driving up to level 2 while ensuring comprehensive
safety and maximum comfort.
The technical innovations and the ultra-modern SiC inverter fit seamlessly into the overall vehicle concept and thus support the vehicle´s outstanding efficiency.
