MINI Korea will begin pre-reservations for the completely new all-electric model, the ‘All-New All-Electric MINI Countryman,’ on May 2nd at 3 PM through the MINI Shop Online (https://shop.mini.co.kr).
The All-New All-Electric MINI Countryman is a fully redesigned third-generation model, marking a significant evolution since the release of the second-generation model in 2017. It is also the first all-electric variant of the MINI Countryman, bringing modern and sophisticated design, a larger body for increased space, innovative digital experiences, advanced driver assistance systems, and robust driving performance, making it a versatile electric vehicle for both city driving and outdoor adventures.
Its exterior showcases a sleek body surface with enlarged wheel arches and vertical design elements. The front sports the unique MINI grille alongside pronounced headlight angles, enhancing its presence. The vertical rear lights adopt a slim line design that visually widens the rear end. Compared to the previous generation MINI Countryman, the new model is 130mm longer, 20mm wider, and 60mm taller, with a wheelbase increase of 20mm, offering a more spacious interior and cargo area as a compact SUV. (Note: numbers may vary prior to domestic certification.)
The interior has been revamped with a clean, high-tech atmosphere. A standout feature is the circular display located at the center of the dashboard. Collaborating with Samsung Display, this circular OLED display offers high-quality visuals and rapid responsiveness to provide a unique user experience. Additionally, it is equipped with the latest MINI operating system, MINI Operating System 9, which includes TMAP-based Korean MINI navigation, in-car gaming capabilities, video streaming services, and access to third-party applications.
The All-New All-Electric MINI Countryman will be available with two powertrains. The MINI Countryman E features a front-mounted electric motor producing 204 horsepower and a maximum torque of 25.5 kg·m, while the MINI Countryman SE ALL4 is equipped with two electric motors, delivering a combined output of 313 horsepower and a maximum torque of 50.4 kg·m.
The MINI Countryman E is offered as a single Classic trim, while the MINI Countryman SE is available in Favoured and JCW trims, providing a total of three options. The expected range on a full charge is approximately 310–350km (with the WLTP combined range for domestic certification estimated to be 433–462km). Pricing is anticipated to be in the range of 56–58 million won for the MINI Countryman E and 62–67 million won for the MINI Countryman SE, depending on the trim.
The pre-reservation for the All-New All-Electric MINI Countryman will be conducted through the ‘MINI Shop Online (https://shop.mini.co.kr)’ and is set to be officially launched in June. For more details, inquiries can be made at the MINI Communication Center (080-700-8000).
