Mini Cooper EV Pre Bookings Start In India
The 2025 all-electric Mini Countryman features a redesigned exterior, including an octagonal grille, updated headlights with new LED DRLs, revised taillights, and a redesigned tailgate. Inside, the cabin has several elements in common with the Mini Cooper, such as a 9.5-inch round OLED infotainment display. Traditional toggle switches remain for the handbrake, turn-key starter, drive mode selector, and audio controls located beneath the screen. The instrument console has been replaced with a head-up display (HUD), giving the cabin a new minimalist look.
The Mini Countryman E is powered by an electric motor that produces 201 bhp and 250 Nm of peak torque, allowing the SUV to accelerate from 0-100 kmph in 8.6 seconds. There is also a more powerful Countryman ALL4 variant, which offers 309 bhp and 494 Nm with its dual-motor setup. Both versions feature a 66.45 kWh battery pack. According to Mini, the Countryman E will have a range of up to 462 km, while the SE variant will offer up to 433 km. It remains to be seen which model will be available in India.
Additional features of the new Mini Countryman include Level 2 ADAS, a fisheye in-car camera, an electrically adjustable driver’s seat with massage functionality, and more. The model will be imported as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) and is expected to be priced around Rs. 70 lakh (ex-showroom). The electric SUV will compete with models such as the Kia EV6, BMW iX1, Volvo XC40 Recharge, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and others.
