Performance and Efficiency
Under the hood, the MINI Countryman E boasts a 150 kW/204 hp electric motor with 250 Nm of torque.

Sleek and Functional Design
The MINI Countryman E’s exterior design is both sleek and functional. Short overhangs and a contrasting long wheelbase enhance its off-road character while improving aerodynamics for greater range. The octagonal front grille and distinctive LED headlamps give the vehicle a modern, robust appearance. Optional light signatures for the front and rear lights allow for further customization.
From the side, the slightly curved roof, seamlessly integrated with the new C-pillar, and the characteristic black band, add sporty accents. Wheel options range from 17 inches to 21 inches, allowing for additional personalization.

A round OLED display with a 240 mm diameter serves as the centerpiece of the cockpit, controlling all infotainment and assistance systems via touch or voice control. The MINI Experience Modes add an immersive touch to the driving experience.
A panoramic glass roof floods the interior with natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.
Cutting-Edge Assistance Systems
The MINI Countryman E is equipped with advanced assistance systems for enhanced safety and comfort. The optional Driving Assistant Professional enables partially automated Level 2 driving on highways. This feature allows the driver to take their hands off the wheel at speeds of up to 60 km/h while remaining attentive to traffic.
