New Delhi, Nov 7
British automotive brand MINI has launched the all-electric MINI Countryman SE All4 in India on Friday, with deliveries to begin shortly.
The compact electric SUV priced at Rs 66,90,000 (ex-showroom) is available as a completely built-up unit (CBU) and can be booked at all MINI India authorised dealerships starting Friday.
The Countryman SE All4 features all-wheel drive powered by a lithium-ion battery with a gross capacity of 66.45 kWh, offering a WLTP combined range of up to 440 km. DC fast charging at 130 kW charges the battery from 10 to 80 per cent in approximately 29 minutes. In contrast, 22 kW AC charging achieves a full charge in about 3 hours and 45 minutes.
The company claimed that the car delivers 313 hp and 494 Nm of torque, achieving 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 180 km/h.
“Warranty and support include a standard two-year unlimited-kilometre warranty, an eight-year or 160,000-kilometre high-voltage battery warranty, and five years of 24/7 roadside assistance.
The car comes with "a standard two-year unlimited-kilometre warranty, and the high voltage battery is covered by a warranty for 8 years or 1,60,000 kilometres".
Multiple modes in the car include "the race-inspired ‘Go-Kart Mode’ to the energy-saving ‘Green Mode’ or the lively ‘Vivid Mode’," the release said.
The standard all-wheel drive system distributes its power precisely and reliably, providing the sporty SUV with sufficient grip and traction even in challenging conditions, it claimed.
The car features advanced assistance systems such as Cruise Control and Parking Assistant Plus with 360 degree Camera and with Comfort Access, the car is locked/unlocked automatically as it recognises the key is at a distance of less than 1.5 metres, the release said.
The company also claimed that MINI Countryman SE All4 have features such as auto start/stop function, brake energy recuperation, active cooling air ducts and electromechanical power steering.

Finally some premium electric options coming to India! The performance specs look amazing - 313 hp and 0-100 in 5.6 seconds! Perfect for our congested city roads where you need that quick acceleration. 🚗⚡
Great to see international brands bringing EVs to India, but at this price point, it's only for the elite. Most Indians can't afford this. We need more focus on affordable electric mobility for the masses.
The Go-Kart Mode sounds fun! 😄 But seriously, with Indian traffic conditions, the parking assistant and 360-degree camera will be super useful. The warranty coverage is quite comprehensive too.
As someone who drives from Delhi to Chandigarh frequently, the 440 km range and fast charging capability make this very practical. The AWD will be great for monsoon season and hill stations. Good move by MINI!
While the features are impressive, I'm concerned about the charging infrastructure in smaller cities. What about people living in tier-2 and tier-3 cities? The EV revolution needs to reach beyond metros.
