The all-electric 2024 Mini Countryman crossover made its first appearance in North America yesterday, with deliveries expected to begin in the US in the fall of next year.<\/p>\n
Initially unveiled in Europe at the beginning of the month at IAA Mobility in Munich, Germany, the third-generation Countryman, now fully electrified, marked this year\u2019s Climate Week NYC by appearing at a special panel called \u201cDriving Forward: The Transforming of Future Mobility\u201d hosted by Mini\u2019s Urban-X technology startup platform at Newlab in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.<\/p>\n
The automaker didn\u2019t mention in the official press release which versions will be available States-side, but we know from the European reveal that two just two options are set to be manufactured in Germany: the base Countryman E, which has a WLTP-rated range of 287 miles, and the more powerful Countryman SE ALL4, which can go up to 269 miles on a full charge.<\/p>\n

In Europe, the base model has a single, front-mounted electric motor that makes 201 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, as well as a 54-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, while the Countryman SE ALL4 gets a slightly bigger, 64-kWh battery pack and two electric motors \u2013 one at the front and one at the rear \u2013 for a combined output of 308 hp and 364 lb-ft of torque.<\/p>\n
Whatever the version, charging can be done via AC power at up to 22 kilowatts, or at up to 130 kW from a DC source.<\/p>\n
Mini\u2019s biggest model measures 174.5 inches long, 72.5 in wide, and 65.1 in tall, putting it in the same league \u2013 size-wise \u2013 with the Volvo XC40 Recharge, which is 174.2 in long, 73.3 in wide, and 65 in tall.<\/p>\n
Alongside the new Countryman, the BMW Group, which owns Mini, showcased the new battery-powered BMW CE-04 electric scooter and the BMW iX5 Hydrogen prototype in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n
Pricing for the 2024 Mini Countryman EV hasn\u2019t been announced yet, with the British brand expected to offer more details as the launch date approaches.<\/p>\n
