Mini's first-ever plug-in hybrid model will make its
UK debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed on June 29th, and is
available to order now from £ 31,585 OTR, eligible for an additional £ 2,500
OLEV government grant.
The new Mini Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 will hit
Mini retailers on June 24th, where customers will be welcome to try out its
hybrid system made up of a 3-cylinder petrol unit and a synchronous electric
motor.
In total, this Mini PHEV puts down 224 PS and 385 Nm of torque, enabling you to get from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds while returning as much as 134.5 mpg UK (2.1l/100 km
/ 112 mpg US).
Visually, the Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 looks just
like its other siblings within the range, except for the charge port on the
front fender, the 17" alloys, the 'S' badge on the rear and the yellow 'E'
badge.
According to Mini, you can fully charge the car
either at a conventional household socket, at a wall box or at a public
charging station in anywhere between 2:15 and 3:15 hours. Furthermore, its
high-voltage battery comes with a warranty that will last you six years or
60,000 miles (96,560 km).
As standard, the S E Countryman ALL4 features
sat-nav, Bluetooth, Cruise Control, Emergency E-call, Active Guard, a 6-speed
Steptronic automatic transmission and a three spoke sports steering wheel.
