2025 Mini Cooper Countryman Electric

2025 Mini Cooper Countryman Electric

Overview

The not-so-mini Mini Cooper Countryman is getting a ground-up redesign and will get an available electric powertrain with up to 308 horsepower. Joining the Cooper Electric hatchback, the Countryman Electric will come with a 64.8-kWh battery that should be good for around 225 miles per charge. That 308-horsepower figure is for the dual-motor all-wheel drive SE ALL4 model, but a lower-priced and lower-powered Countryman E model will also be offered with a single 188-hp electric motor driving the front wheels. For buyers not ready to make the switch to electric just yet, the Countryman is expected to be offered with a gasoline engine too, but we review that model separately.

What’s New for 2025?

The Cooper Countryman Electric is a new model for the Mini lineup and we expect to see it go on sale in 2024 as a 2025 model.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

Countryman E

$40,000 (est)

Countryman S E All4

$45,000 (est)

We know that there will be both front- and all-wheel drive models offered, but Mini hasn’t released pricing for either one. We expect to see an increase in price over the gasoline-powered Countryman though, so expect to spend at least $40,000 on the Countryman Electric.

EV Motor, Power, and Performance

Two variants of the Countryman Electric will be offered, starting with the base E trim which will come with a 188-hp electric motor on the front axle. The more powerful S E ALL4 model will offer dual motors and all-wheel drive, a combination good for 308 horsepower which should hustle the small SUV at a much brisker pace. When we get a chance to test drive the Countryman Electric for ourselves, we’ll update this story with driving impressions.

Range, Charging, and Battery Life

The Countryman Electric will come with a 64.8-kWh battery pack, which is on the small side for electric vehicles. But the Countryman’s small size and relatively low weight will help the SUV offer a competitive driving range. We expect to see that come in around 225 miles per charge, but the EPA hasn’t released that information just yet. When we find out more, we’ll update this story with details.
