2026 Mini Countryman Redesign and Update Plan
Exterior & Interior
Addressing the elephant in the room is necessary. This new Countryman is enormous. (In actuality, large for a mini.) The Countryman’s development is simply remarkable when seen in person. With dimensions of 174.5 inches long by 72.6 inches wide by 65.2 inches high, the third edition is a full 10% larger than the first. The wider 106-inch wheelbase allows for an extra inch between the new massive wheels, which are available in sizes up to 20 inches.
The cabin is now much larger as a result of this extension. The extra headroom and shoulder room on both rows of the new Countryman are immediately noticeable, and it feels like a much better fit for growing families. The 16.2 cubic feet of cargo capacity increases to 51.2 cubes when the second row is folded flat. The automatically retractable trailer hitch on the Countryman can pull a trailer up to 2,645 pounds in weight, if that wasn’t enough.
The same simple stick employed by the Cooper’s designers, albeit with less power, strikes the Countryman’s exterior. The headlights have been more squared off to further distinguish the fascia from its round-eyed little sibling. If you look attentively, you can notice that the chrome beltline from the previous version is no longer there. It also lacks the Countryman’s characteristic fender vent garnish, albeit it hasn’t been taken off.
The element, which has been reduced and moved to the C-pillar like the rest of the crossover, breaks up the long roofline and visually distinguishes across trim levels with distinct graphic treatments.
The Countryman’s cabin’s interior design is an enlarged version of the Cooper’s renovation. The same Mini Operating System 9 software powers its circular OLED display, and traditional Mini physical controls are located beneath the screen. Additionally, the optional Mini projection ambient lighting highlights the environmentally friendly, leather-free upholstery. We were given a sneak peek at this bundle last month.
Vertical dashboard vents and door handles draw attention to the crossover’s verticality and further distinguish the Countryman from its horizontal brother.

Engine & Performance
How big can a Mini become before it no longer qualifies as a Mini? I can’t help but wonder that when the new, third-generation Mini Countryman arrives.
The crossover SUV is currently the largest vehicle to ever use the Mini moniker, with a 10% increase over the previous model. However, two new battery-powered trim levels with a range of up to 287 miles are being released, and the big Countryman is becoming electric. The most interesting news is this one.
Mini attempted electrifying the Countryman with the 2018 plug-in hybrid variant. With an incredible 65 miles per gallon equivalent, the largest Mini model at the time was the greenest, but on paper, its 12-mile electric range wasn’t all that spectacular.
The C-man’s fast expanding battery-powered range may make it an alluring option for small families looking to transition to electric vehicles, despite its concerning rising size. 2026 Mini Countryman Specs
2026 Mini Countryman Fuel Economy
Like the Cooper hatch that also debuted today, the two battery-electric models that will be offered are the Countryman E and Countryman SE ALL4. The Countryman E’s single motor generates 150 kilowatts, or around 204 horsepower, and 184 pound-feet of torque. It can go from a stop to 62 mph in 8.6 seconds and achieve a top speed of 105 mph.
The output of the Countryman SE ALL4 rises to 230 kW (313 horsepower) and 364 pound-feet of torque with the addition of a second electric motor. It only takes 5.6 seconds to get from 0 to 62 mph here, and the top speed rises to a still-modest 112 mph, which is, I suppose, sufficient to meet North America’s highest imposed speed limit.
According to Mini, the Countrymen can cruise at a respectable speed for 287 miles in the E configuration or 269 miles in the SE ALL4 variant. Their estimates would likely be lower on the more optimistic WLTP global test cycle than on the stricter US EPA test cycle.
With a 22 kW output, the Countryman’s AC charger is twice as fast as the Cooper SE’s. Due to the supposedly larger battery, the 10% to 80% DCFC window is around the same in the “under 30 minutes” window even if its DC fast charging capacity is faster at up to 130 kW. Based on the estimated range, it is plausible to conclude that the C-man’s E and SE ALL4 models share a single battery pack, even if Mini has not yet disclosed the exact capacity.
Unlike the Cooper, the electric Countryman will be joined by a variety of combustion-powered versions, including the front-drive Countryman C, the all-wheel-drive S ALL4, the high-output John Cooper Works ALL4, and a diesel-burning variant. 2026 Mini Countryman Specs
Conclusion
With a range of up to 287 miles, Mini’s largest model is electric. Additionally, the crossover SUV is far bigger than it has ever been.
Two major developments for the Mini brand into the era of electric vehicles are the second-generation Mini Countryman and the fifth-generation Mini Cooper. A production model of the Mini Aceman concept will accompany the automaker at an event in April 2024 as it continues its transition to an all-electric fleet by 2030.
We expect to learn more about the 2025 Mini Countryman’s US pricing, availability, regional characteristics, and range later this year, much like we did with the Cooper.
