2025 Mini Countryman Previewed, Will Offer a 308-HP EV Powertrain

• Mini has shown the first glimpse of the next-generation Countryman SUV.

• It will arrive for the 2025 model year in the U.S. and starts production this year in Germany at a BMW plant.

• The new Countryman will offer both a gasoline version and an electric version, and we'll see if both end up coming to the U.S.

UPDATE 4/7/23: Mini has released specs for the electric version of the 2025 Countryman, which will be offered in 188-hp E and 308-hp SE ALL4 configurations. We've added information about its electric motors, battery packs, and range estimates to this story.

A new version of the biggest Mini, the Countryman SUV, is arriving soon and we've just gotten confirmation that it will spawn an electric variant. New photos of a camouflaged 2025 Countryman also give a glimpse at the new model's looks which, unsurprisingly, hew closely to the familiar Mini aesthetic.

The 2025 Mini Countryman will start production this year at a BMW plant in Leipzig, Germany, making it the first Mini model to be built in its parent company's homeland. It'll be built alongside several BMW models including the 2-series Gran Coupe. We're not sure exactly when it will go on sale in the U.S., but we expect both the gas and EV versions will make it to our shores.
