Introduced in 2023 as the first MINI Countryman available with an
all-electric powertrain, the third-generation MINI Countryman receives
a range of technological refinements to enable a single-charge range
of over 300 miles.
The improved MINI Countryman E now boasts a range of up to 307
miles (WLTP*), offering customers more versatility than ever before,
while the MIN Countryman SE ALL4 is capable of up to 287 miles
(WLTP*). These improved figures are thanks to a number of innovative
technical updates. Most importantly is a new silicon carbide (SiC)
inverter, which guarantees highly efficient energy conversion while
minimising power loss. This is complemented by an increased net
high-voltage battery capacity of 65.2 kWh, providing more usable
energy. Meanwhile the addition of friction-reduced wheel bearings on
the front axle helps to reduce rolling resistance – each playing a
part to optimise range.
Maximum Electric Car Grant Contribution.
The
MINI Countryman Electric customers can now take advantage of the full
£3,750 discount as part of the government’s ECG scheme. This discount,
alongside the model’s range enhancements, result in an even more
attractive MINI Countryman offering.
An already-compelling product offering.
The
all-electric MINI Countryman blends the versatility of a compact
crossover with MINI’s unmistakeable driving experience and iconic
proportions: short overhangs, a short bonnet and a contrasting long
wheelbase. Thanks to generous interior dimensions and a boot space of
up to 1,450 litres, the MINI Countryman offers enough space for the
entire family. Meanwhile, larger wheels, wider wheel arches and the
removal of chrome details add to the vehicle’s road presence.
Available in nine exterior paint colours and with nine alloy designs
to choose from, there is endless possibility for customisation.
Moving inside, the interior of the vehicle echoes the minimalist
design of the classic Mini, using just the round instrument cluster in
the centre and the infamous toggle bar below. In the new MINI
Countryman, it is precisely these two elements, in combination with
the steering wheel, that are the focus of the interior cabin.
At the heart of the interior design is a central 24 cm circular
OLED display, which enables intuitive operation the entire
infotainment system. Advanced driver assistance systems enable up to
Level 2 autonomous driving capabilities while ensuring comprehensive
safety and maximum comfort.
The increased-range MINI Countryman Electric will be available
from March 2026.
