Mini Australia has detailed the initial versions of the new-generation Countryman SUV ahead of its local launch in the first quarter of 2024.
The 2024 Mini Countryman launch range will consist of the petrol-powered Countryman C and S. High-performance JCW, as well as the all-electric E and SE variants will follow in the third quarter of 2024.
Pricing now starts at $49,990 before on-roads for the Countryman C Core, which is $1140 more than the outgoing model, and currently extends to $63,990 before on-roads for the Countryman S JCW Sport.
The new-generation Mini Countryman is 13cm longer than the previous-generation model and 6cm taller. This is claimed to allow more “passenger comfort and versatility”.
There’s a new 9.4-inch OLED touchscreen infotainment system running Mini Operating System 9. It offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
From 2024 onwards Mini is no longer offering any leather products or chrome finishes in its vehicles. It’s offering a range of “sustainable” options for interior trims and exterior highlights instead.
