What are the performance figures? 

The MINI Countryman Hybrid SUV can be driven up to 131 km/h or 81 mph in electric power alone. Combined with the internal combustion engine, it produces a total of 224 horsepower that runs through a hybrid specific all-wheel drive system. And it goes from 0-100 km/h in as fast as 6.7 seconds.

How much electric range does it have? 

Compared to its first edition, the electric range has increased by 30%, allowing you to enjoy up to 29 km of pure electric drive (up to 479 km combined range). We also love the fact that it has a regenerative braking system, which recharges the battery as you drive!
