2024 Mini Countryman EV to debut in North America, with deliveries to begin at the end of next year

First unveiled in Europe earlier this month at the IAA Mobility show in Munich, Germany, the third-generation Countryman, now fully electrified, marked this year's Climate Week NYC. The EV was featured on a special panel entitled "Driving Forward: The Transforming of Future Mobility," hosted by Mini's Urban-X technology startup platform at Newlab at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Details about the specific models that will be available in the U.S. were not provided in the official press release. However, information from its European launch confirms that two versions will be manufactured in Germany: the standard Countryman E, boasting a WLTP-rated range of 462 kilometers (287 miles), and the more robust Countryman SE ALL4, which has a full-charge range of up to 433 km (269 miles).

In Europe, the base model is equipped with a single, front-placed electric motor producing 50 kW/204 hp and 250 Newton-meters (184 pound-feet) of torque. It also features a 54-kWh lithium-ion battery. The Countryman SE ALL4, on the other hand, comes with a marginally larger 64-kWh battery and dual electric motors, one in the front and one in the rear, delivering a combined 308 hp and 364 lb-ft of torque.

Regardless of the model, charging options include up to 22 kW via AC power and up to 130 kW from a DC source.

The dimensions of Mini's largest model are 4,433 millimeters (174.5 inches) long, 1,843 mm wide (72.5 in), and 1,656 mm (65.1 in) tall. This puts it in a similar size category to the Volvo XC40 Recharge.

As of now, the pricing for the 2024 Mini Countryman electric vehicle has not been disclosed. More information is expected from the British automaker as the release date draws closer.
