The EV only range of the new Countryman Plug-in Hybrid is 25 miles, providing a significant boost to its overall economy. According to official figures, the vehicle has an impressive economy of 140mpg, a significant improvement over the MINI Cooper S E Countryman ALL4's official economy of 134.5mpg.
The new Countryman is not just about performance. It also boasts improved looks and tech, making it a compelling package for those seeking style and efficiency. The vehicle is essentially a BMW 225xe with a MINI skin and interior, a testament to the brand's commitment to quality and innovation.
While the new Countryman Plug-in Hybrid has been officially revealed, more information and a full reveal of the vehicle's features and capabilities are expected to follow soon. The base price for the new 2017 MINI Countryman is £22,465, while the MINI Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 has a base price of £31,585.
The 2017 MINI Countryman Plug-in Hybrid is manufactured by BMW, as MINI is a brand under the BMW Group responsible for producing this model. This collaboration allows MINI to leverage BMW's expertise in plug-in hybrid technology, ensuring the new Countryman is at the forefront of the industry.
In conclusion, the 2017 MINI Countryman Plug-in Hybrid is a significant step forward for the brand. With its impressive performance, efficiency, and style, it is poised to make a lasting impact in the plug-in hybrid market. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
