03 September 2023
MINI will present two members of the new electric MINI family at IAA: the fifth generation MINI Cooper and the new MINI Countryman. In addition, the MINI Aceman will premiere in April 2024 as a crossover in the premium small car segment.
The user experience advances with the MINI Operating System 9, which has been optimized for touch and voice control. The round OLED display, the MINI Interaction Unit, is both an instrument cluster as well as the center of experiences and comfort.
The all-electric MINI Cooper: the reinvention of the original. Going into its fifth model generation, the MINI Cooper 3-door still embodies the core of the brand. As an all-electric vehicle, the new MINI is available in the Cooper E variant and as the Cooper SE, featuring higher output and range. Within the new MINI family, “Cooper” refers to all MINI 3-door and 5-door models, and also the MINI Convertible. It is no longer used as an engine specification.
The 135 kW/184 hp electric motor in the MINI Cooper E generates a torque of 290 N·m and accelerates the vehicle from standstill to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds. With an output of 160 kW/218 hp, the MINI Cooper SE sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds with a maximum torque of 330 N·m. The range determined in the WLTP test cycle is 305 kilometers (190 miles) for the MINI Cooper E and 402 kilometers (250 miles) for the MINI Cooper SE.
The new MINI Countryman. With an additional six centimeters in height and thirteen centimeters in length, the new MINI Countryman has grown noticeably compared to its predecessor. The 150 kW/204 hp electric motor in the MINI Countryman E generates a torque of 250 N·m and accelerates the car from standstill to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds.
With 230 kW/313 hp, the electric motors of the all-wheel drive MINI Countryman SE ALL4 generate a combined torque of 494 N·m in total and accelerate the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds. The range determined according to the WLTP test cycle is 462 kilometers (287 miles) for the MINI Countryman E and 433 kilometers (269 miles) for the MINI Countryman SE ALL4.
