Europe’s First Glimpse of the Mini Countryman EV Precedes North American Debut in New York
In the ever-evolving landscape of electric vehicles, Mini is taking a bold step forward with the 2024 Mini Countryman EV. This iconic British brand has embraced the electric revolution, and their latest offering is bound to turn heads on both sides of the Atlantic. The first official look at the all-electric crossover SUV was unveiled in Europe, generating excitement before its highly anticipated North American debut in New York.
Powering the Future
The 2024 Mini Countryman EV will come in two distinct powertrain options, both of which were showcased in Europe. Manufactured in Germany, these models represent Mini’s commitment to electrification.
- Mini Countryman E: This base model features a single, front-mounted electric motor capable of producing 201 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. Its heart is a 54-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, which ensures a remarkable WLTP-rated range of 462km (287mi.) on a full charge. This impressive range is sure to appeal to those looking for practicality and efficiency.
- Mini Countryman SE ALL4: For those seeking a more robust and performance-oriented experience, the SE ALL4 is the answer. It boasts a slightly larger 64-kWh battery pack, and the power is distributed through two electric motors – one at the front and one at the rear. This dual-motor setup results in a combined output of 308 horsepower and a whopping 364 pound-feet of torque, making for exhilarating acceleration and confident all-wheel-drive handling. Despite the added power, the SE ALL4 still manages to achieve a respectable range of up to 433km (269mi.) on a single charge.
Across the Atlantic
While Europe has had the privilege of experiencing the Mini Countryman EV’s debut, there’s still much speculation about which models will make their way to North America. Enthusiasts and potential buyers are eagerly awaiting official confirmation from Mini regarding the available trim levels and specifications for the North American market. The anticipation is palpable, as Mini enthusiasts on this side of the ocean hope to get their hands on the electrified Countryman.
The Road Ahead
As of now, pricing details for the 2024 Mini Countryman EV remain under wraps.
However, Mini has assured its fans that whichever model(s) make it to North America will arrive late in 2024, ushering in a new era for this beloved British marque. With its blend of iconic design, electrified powertrains, and the promise of an emissions-free future, the 2024 Mini Countryman EV is set to capture the hearts of car enthusiasts and eco-conscious drivers alike. Stay tuned for more updates as Mini prepares to electrify the streets of North America with its charming, all-electric crossover SUV.
