Mini Countryman Electric: Specifications & India Launch Expectations
MINI Countryman Electric India specifications and launch timeline: 66.45 kWh battery, 462 km WLTP range, 29-minute DC charging, prices from Rs 55.65 lakh, and what to expect next.
The MINI Countryman Electric has been on sale in India since July 2024, priced from Rs 55.65 lakh to Rs 66.90 lakh (ex-showroom) across three variants. It pairs a 66.45 kWh battery with a WLTP-claimed range of up to 462 km, and the dual-motor SE ALL4 added all-wheel drive to the line-up in November 2025. Here is the full specification picture and what buyers in India should expect next.
MINI Countryman Electric India: launch timeline so far
MINI launched the electric Countryman in India in July 2024 with the front-wheel-drive line-up: the Countryman Electric S at Rs 55.65 lakh and the Favoured Pack at Rs 60.70 lakh. In November 2025 the range expanded with the Countryman Electric SE ALL4 at Rs 66.90 lakh, which adds a second motor for all-wheel drive. All three remain on sale, which makes this a mature line-up rather than an upcoming one - the expectations now are about variants and pricing moves, not a first launch.
Battery, range and charging
Every variant uses the same 66.45 kWh lithium-ion battery. The front-wheel-drive S and Favoured Pack claim a WLTP-combined range of up to 462 km, with 566 km in city conditions, while the SE ALL4 claims up to 440 km. That is genuine single-charge reach for a small SUV.
Charging is strong for the class. A 130 kW DC fast charger takes the battery from 10 to 80 per cent in about 29 minutes. On AC, the included 11 kW wallbox (fitted with one-time installation) charges fully in about 6 hours 15 minutes, and a 22 kW AC unit cuts that to roughly 3 hours 45 minutes.
29 minutes from 10 to 80 per cent on a 130 kW DC charger is the figure that makes the Countryman Electric practical for highway trips, not just city runs.
Performance: two very different characters
The front-wheel-drive S and Favoured Pack use a single motor producing 204 PS and 250 Nm. They reach 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds and top out at 170 km/h - smooth, quick and more than enough for Indian conditions.
The SE ALL4 is the sharp end. Two motors produce 313 bhp and 494 Nm with all-wheel drive, cutting 0-100 km/h to 5.6 seconds. That is hot-hatch acceleration in a family crossover. The suspension is on the firmer side in both forms, a deliberate MINI trait, so expect a connected ride rather than a plush one.
Dimensions, boot and practicality
At 4445 mm long, 1843 mm wide and 1635 mm tall, on a 2692 mm wheelbase, the Countryman Electric is a proper small SUV. The boot holds up to 460 litres, the ground clearance is 175 mm, and the turning radius is 5.8 metres. Five seats, a panoramic glass roof and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come as standard.
The 9.4-inch round OLED display dominates the cabin, and ADAS Level 1 driver assistance is on board. Airbag count varies by trim: 2 on the S and Favoured Pack, 4 on the SE ALL4.

Warranty and ownership
The high-voltage battery carries an 8-year / 1,60,000 km warranty, with a 2-year vehicle warranty. An 11 kW AC wallbox with one-time installation is included, which removes the most common friction point of EV ownership. At this price point the running-cost advantage of electric drive is secondary; the badge, the interior quality and the driving character are the purchase reasons.
Ownership reality check: the ride is firmer than a soft-luxury crossover and the car is heavy, so long highway runs are busy rather than floaty. The trade pays off in the go-kart feel MINI is known for - instant electric torque, a round OLED screen that runs the cabin, and a cabin that feels more special than most rivals at this price. Factor in the 130 kW fast-charging network coverage on routes you actually drive, because the 29-minute 10-80 per cent figure only helps if the chargers exist where you travel.
What to expect next in India
With the SE ALL4 already on sale, the realistic near-term expectations are pricing and trim movements rather than a brand-new model. Watch for limited-edition packs in new colours - the line-up already spans Electric Grey, Blazing Blue, British Racing Green, Chilli Red, Midnight Black, Smokey Green and Slate Blue - and for charging-promotion bundles as MINI pushes its electric range harder in a market where the Countryman competes with premium electric crossovers in the Rs 55-70 lakh band.
Who this is for
The MINI Countryman Electric suits buyers who want a premium, characterful small SUV with real electric range, fast charging and a cabin that feels special. It is the choice when the driving experience matters more than outright space or badge value.
It is not the pick for someone chasing maximum space per rupee, a plush ride, or a budget electric car - at Rs 55.65 lakh starting price, this is a premium proposition where you pay for the badge and the fun factor. Consider it only if the 462 km claim, the 29-minute DC charging and the go-kart feel are what you actually want.
