When the biggest MINI becomes even more practical, you know it's time for an adventure. Imagine the new MINI Countryman 2024 with which you can jump on vacation without making any compromises. With the new MINI Countryman 2024, driving has never been so fun and efficient at the same time. And for all you green vegans who dream of a cleaner future: get ready for the all-electric version.

Let's start with the exterior. The new Countryman has grown in all dimensions. At 4,433mm long, it's as if the classic MINI has ingested some growth serum. But don't let its size fool you. Beneath this sleek body lies the heart of a beast.

Basically electric, but still petrol and diesel

Countryman E, with a range of 462 km (287 miles), is equipped with an engine that produces 201 horsepower (150 kW) and 250 Nm of torque. It's here for adrenaline junkies Countryman SE ALL4 with a twin engine that produces 308 hp and 494 Nm of torque. And if you're wondering about speed? The base model reaches 170 km/h (105 mph), while the SE ALL4 tops 180 km/h (111 mph).

Countryman E with its 150 kW engine, it reaches a measly 100 km/h 8.6 seconds. For those always in a hurry, there's the Countryman SE ALL4, which reaches the same speed in just 5.6 seconds. Not enough for many in the world of electric vehicles, where 6 seconds is slow and 8 is an eternity. And if you're wondering about the battery - it has a capacity of 66.45 kWh. It's like having an energy drink for your car, but diluted with water. Given its shape and weight, the car will realistically only do about 300 kilometers of normal driving. However, if the owner of a classic JCW gets his hands on it, more than 150 range will not be possible.

Of course, if you're more traditional and want the smell of petrol, the Countryman is also available with petrol engines. And for those who still swear by the diesel – yes, we have that version too.

Charging the new battery MINI Countryman? As easy as drinking your morning coffee. With 22 kW of alternating current (congratulations) or s 130 kW with fast charging, you can charge the battery from 10% to 80% in less than half an hour. It's like a quick refresher between two meetings. And if you're worried about the cold, don't be. Active navigation ensures that the battery is always at the right temperature for fast charging. BMW did it right this time, too.

The charging settings are so simple that even your grandfather who still uses a landline can understand them. You can choose the start time of charging, determine the desired battery level or set the car to be ready at a certain time, with the interior pleasantly air-conditioned. Woah! Welcome to 2023!

And if you are further from the car? The MINI application allows you to always be up to date. Shows battery status, optimized route plan and charge history. All this with a few taps on the screen.

With a slightly increased distance between the wheels and a larger wheelbase, excellent driving dynamics are guaranteed. The basic chassis has been carefully designed to offer the driver the distinctive driving feel we expect from a MINI.

Its damping system has been fine-tuned, meaning all components, from the axle to the steering wheel, are aligned for an optimal ride. The braking system is integrated and ensures excellent driving dynamics and vehicle control. Reliable stabilization and shorter braking distances increase safety.

With advanced parking systems including trailer assistant and 360-degree view, parking is now a breeze. And if you don't feel like getting out of your car, the Countryman can even exit the parking space by itself with the help of your smartphone. Driving and parking have never been so easy and fun.

But what is a car without history? Born in the 1960s, the MINI has always been a symbol of British culture. The new Countryman pays tribute to this heritage while setting new standards for the future.

Conclusion? MINI Countryman it's more than just a car; is a combination of tradition and innovation brought by the MINI brand. With its electric drive and impressive battery that can be charged in less than half an hour, the MINI Countryman 2024 is a step forward into the future.
