MINI Countryman Electric
The MINI Countryman Electric is a fully imported premium electric SUV priced from Rs 54,90,000 to Rs 66,90,000 ex-showroom, built for buyers who want a distinctive, design-led EV rather than a mainstream badge. All four variants share a 66.45 kWh battery rated at 440-462 km on the WLTP test cycle (MINI has not run it through India's ARAI cycle, and there's no independent real-world test yet), with the highest figure on the front-wheel-drive E variants and a slightly lower one on the quicker dual-motor SE All4.
Is the MINI Countryman Electric right for you?
Best for
- Buyers who want a design-forward, characterful EV outside the usual Hyundai/Kia/Tata crowd and are fine paying a CBU import premium for it
- Urban and suburban daily driving with charging at home or work, topping up on 130 kW DC fast chargers when travelling
- Buyers who want Level 2 ADAS in this segment, which the Countryman Electric brings as a first for MINI in India
- Buyers prioritising quick, all-wheel-drive performance over maximum range, via the SE All4's 0-100 kmph in 5.6 seconds
Think twice if
- Buyers who need a certain, ARAI-verified or independently tested real-world range figure - only MINI's own WLTP-claimed numbers exist today
- Value-focused shoppers - CBU import pricing is steep for what is, dimensionally, a compact SUV
- Buyers who need dependable service and charging support outside major metros - MINI's India network is thinner than mainstream EV brands
- Buyers who want all-wheel drive as standard - only the base E variants are offered, all front-wheel drive, single motor; AWD is exclusive to the range-shorter, priciest SE All4
EVz Score: 6.0 / 10 Good

Most owners charge overnight at home; plan public or workplace charging for longer trips. Because it is imported as a CBU, the MINI Countryman Electric carries a service and charging-support network that is thinner than mainstream EV brands in India, so check authorized center proximity in your city before buying, especially outside metros.

FAQ
What is the real-world range of the MINI Countryman Electric?
There is no independently tested real-world figure yet. MINI quotes range on the WLTP cycle, not India's ARAI cycle: up to 462 km on the front-wheel-drive E variants (Essential, Classic Pack, Favoured Pack) and up to 440 km on the dual-motor SE All4. Treat these as optimistic lab numbers and expect noticeably less in real Indian driving, especially with AC and highway speeds.
How fast does it charge?
All variants use the same 66.45 kWh battery. On a 130 kW DC fast charger, 10-80% takes about 29 minutes across the range. At home, the E variants take roughly 6 hours for a full charge on an 11 kW AC charger, while the SE All4 supports up to 22 kW AC and takes about 3 hours 45 minutes for a full charge.
Which variant should I pick?
The three E variants (Essential at Rs 54,90,000, Classic Pack at Rs 57,51,000, Favoured Pack at Rs 59,95,000) share the identical 150 kW single motor, battery, and WLTP range of 462 km, so Classic and Favoured mainly add features over Essential. Choose the SE All4 at Rs 66,90,000 only if you want dual-motor AWD and a 5.6-second 0-100 kmph time, since its WLTP range drops to 440 km.
Is the MINI Countryman Electric worth it against rival electric SUVs?
You are paying a CBU import premium for MINI's distinctive design, a large circular OLED display, Level 2 ADAS (a first for the brand in India), and genuinely practical 5-seat space, the roomiest MINI yet. If your priority is pure value-for-money or a certified range figure, mainstream electric SUVs will cost less; this car is for buyers paying specifically for badge and driving character.
What should I know about ownership costs and support?
The Countryman Electric is a CBU import, so MINI's authorized service and public charging partner network in India is smaller than what mainstream EV brands offer, which matters more if you live outside a major metro. Running costs on the 66.45 kWh battery should undercut a comparable petrol SUV on fuel, but factor in fewer service touchpoints when budgeting for ownership.
