Munich. Hallmark MINI driving fun enters a whole new
dimension – electrified, virtually noiseless, featuring thrillingly
spontaneous power delivery and entirely without CO2 emissions. As of
June 2017, the market launch of the MINI Cooper S E Countryman ALL4
makes the most spacious and versatile model of the British premium
brand a pioneer of efficient and sustainable mobility. The first MINI
plug-in hybrid model offers not just sporty agility on the road and
beyond the asphalt but also the possibility of purely electrically
powered driving, generating zero local emissions.
The MINI Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 (combined power consumption:
2.3 – 2.1 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 52 – 49 g/km) will be
available at dealerships from 24 June 2017.
The hybrid system of the MINI Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 is made
up of a 3-cylinder petrol engine with MINI TwinPower Turbo Technology
and a synchronous electric motor. Together they generate a system
output of 165 kW/224 hp, enabling the car to sprint from standing to
100 km/h in 6.8 seconds. The power of the combustion engine is
transmitted to the front wheels by means of a 6-speed Steptronic
transmission. The electric motor powers the rear wheels via a
two-stage single-speed transmission. The intelligently controlled
interaction between the two power units creates an electrified
all-wheel drive system that optimises agility and stability on the
road as well as providing supreme traction over snow and unsurfaced terrain.
In everyday traffic the intelligent drive control of the
MINI Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 makes for an intense hybrid driving
experience. When setting off, only the electric motor is initially
active meaning a virtually noiseless start. As is typical of electric
motors, the entire torque is available from standing. Once a driving
speed of 80 km/h is reached, the combustion engine is gently
activated. The eDRIVE toggle switch enables the driver to continue to
drive with the pure electric engine beyond this point if preferred: in
MAX eDRIVE mode the MINI Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 runs at up to
125 km/h free of local emissions. The electrical range of the first
MINI plug-in hybrid model is 40 kilometres.
The energy required for this is stored in a high-voltage
lithium-ion battery housed underneath the rear seat. It can be charged
at a conventional household socket or, for increased power input, at a
wallbox or public charging station. Charging takes between 2:15 and
3:15 hours.
The efficiency and pulling power of the electric motor, its
cleverly controlled interaction with the combustion engine and the
premium quality and reliability of all components of the hybrid system
is the result of the BMW Group’s eDrive technology. The high-voltage
battery comes with a warranty which lasts for six years or 100,000 kilometres.
The MINI Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 combines its progressive
drive system with the versatile space concept and hallmark brand style
of the latest MINI model range. Purely electrical driving fun comes
with very slight package-related space limitations in the interior.
The luggage compartment volume of the hybrid model is 405 litres,
which can be extended to as much as 1 275 litres with the rear
backrests folded down. Additionally, the range of standard trim in the
MINI Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 is exceptionally extensive. Equipment
offered as standard includes includes a three-spoke sports steering
wheel, the MINI Driving Modes for individual vehicle set-up and the
MINI navigation system including MINI Visual Boost radio with 6.5-inch
on-board computer in the central instrument and MINI Controller in the
centre console.
In addition to model-specific design elements such as the “E”
emblem on the radiator grille and side scuttles as well as door sill
finishers with a yellow “S” logo, the 17-inch light alloy wheels in
Light Spoke design are another distinguishing feature exclusive to the
model. In the interior, hybrid-specific displays and the eDRIVE toggle
switch indicate the distinctive character of the MINI Cooper S E Countryman ALL4.
