Mini Korea announced on the 13th that it has officially launched the all-electric family car, "The All-Electric MINI Countryman," with improved driving range and energy efficiency per charge.

The new model expands the usable capacity of the high-voltage battery to 65.2kWh through optimization of the battery management system and software. It newly applies a silicon carbide inverter to improve power conversion efficiency and reduce heat loss, and mounts low-friction wheel bearings on the front wheels to lower rolling resistance. Aerodynamic performance across the entire body is also optimized, achieving an aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.26.

Based on these efficiency improvements, both the driving range and energy consumption per charge have increased significantly. The front-wheel-drive Countryman E achieves a combined energy efficiency of 5.3km/kWh, recording a driving range of 381km, which is 32km longer than before.The electric motor delivers a maximum output of 204 horsepower and a peak torque of 25.5kg·m, accelerating from a standstill to 100km/h in just 8.6 seconds.

The all-wheel-drive Countryman SE ALL4 offers a combined energy efficiency of 5.0km/kWh and a driving range of 361km, an increase of 35km compared to the previous model. It produces a maximum output of 313 horsepower and a peak torque of 50.4kg·m, reaching 100km/h from a standstill in just 5.6 seconds. Both models take approximately 29 minutes to charge from 10% to 80% using a fast charger. The energy efficiency rating has improved one level from Grade 3 to Grade 2.

Interior specifications have also been enhanced. A panoramic glass sunroof, previously available only on higher trims, is now standard across all models and trims. At the center of the interior, a circular OLED display with a diameter of 240mm and toggle switches are applied.

Domestic sales prices, including value-added tax, are 58.9 million won for the Countryman E Classic, 63.5 million won for the Countryman SE ALL4 Favored, and 66.1 million won for the Countryman SE ALL4 JCW.
