MINI Korea announced the launch of the all-electric SUV, the 'All-Electric MINI Countryman,' designed to enhance driving range and overall appeal.
The newly released electric MINI Countryman features an optimized battery management system, software enhancements, and a new inverter. As a result of improved energy efficiency, the driving range on a single charge has increased. The combined energy consumption of the Countryman E has risen from 4.8 km/kWh to 5.3 km/kWh, extending the driving range from 349 km to 381 km.
By incorporating a silicon carbide (SiC) inverter and an advanced battery management system, the vehicle reduces power conversion losses and increases the usable battery capacity to 65.2 kWh. The overall aerodynamic performance of the body has been optimized, achieving a drag coefficient of 0.26.
The new model is available in two variants: E and SE ALL4, each offered in three trims: Classic, Favored, and JCW. The Countryman E delivers a maximum output of 204 horsepower and a peak torque of 25.5 kg·m through an electric motor mounted on the front axle, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds.
The all-wheel-drive Countryman SE ALL4 also shows improvement, with its combined energy consumption increasing from 4.4 km/kWh to 5.0 km/kWh. Its driving range has grown by 35 km to 361 km. This model features electric motors on both the front and rear axles, producing a maximum output of 313 horsepower and a peak torque of 50.4 kg·m, reaching 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds.
Previously exclusive to the All-Electric MINI SE ALL4 model, the panoramic glass sunroof is now standard across all models and trims. The spacious interior and rear seats that split in a 4:2:4 ratio provide flexibility for everyday commuting, long-distance travel, and outdoor activities.
Meanwhile, MINI is accelerating its transition to electrification. Last year, the company sold 105,535 all-electric vehicles globally, marking an 87.9% increase from the previous year. Electric vehicles now account for over one-third of total sales, which reached 288,290 units.
