Mini has revealed pricing and specification details for the new Mini Countryman, the largest model in its range, which will grow in size and go on sale with a choice of petrol and electric options.
The new Mini Countryman will cost £29,025 in the UK. It shares the same specification levels as the new electric Mini Cooper - which will be launched alongside its SUV sibling in electric-only guise - but can also be selected as a sporty John Cooper Works performance model.
Standard equipment on entry-level Classic models includes the firm’s updated, 9.45in circular infotainment display, a reversing camera, a power tailgate, LED headlights and automatic wipers. Keyless go is also a basic feature, as is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Next-step Exclusive cars start from £31,525 and come with a digital driver's display behind the steering wheel, automatic headlights and silver exterior trim. This specification also includes brown dashboard upholstery and front sports seats.
Countryman Sport models kick off from £32,725 and receive Mini atmospheric Experience Modes, plus a hexagonal-design grille surround, sturdier John Cooper Works sports seats, sports brakes and JCW-inspired dashboard upholstery.
John Cooper Works cars gain a performance-inspired exterior makeover, plus a dual-clutch sports transmission, wireless phone charging, a premium Harman Kardon sound system and a glossy front grille. JCW cars are also fitted with dynamic stability control and a set of 19in alloy wheels. Prices start from £40,425.
Three petrol engines will be available – two 1.5-litre turbo triples and a 2.0-litre turbo four-pot from the BMW X1. The Countryman C has 167bhp at its front wheels; the S All4 has 215bhp going to both axles; and the JCW All4 gets 296bhp and 295lb ft of torque for a 0-62mph time of 5.4sec.
Meanwhile, the electric Mini Countryman commands a significantly higher price tag, kicking off from £42,025 in the UK. Exclusive models start from £44,525, while top-rung Sport variants cost £200 more at £45,725.

The electric Countryman, is already more expensive, less powerful and has a shorter range than the soon to be released Volvo EX30, oh and its significantly uglier.
Good luck selling that.
It will to those who care about it at least being manufactured in a democracy where the workers get decent pay and conditions, and independent unions.
Democratic in name only. Choice of two pantomime parties who both have the same agenda, keeping their donors & mates extremely rich. Their mantra; pay your taxes, don’t question anything.
What about ‘Western interference’ in Indian democratic elections. Imran Khan who is now in jail.
Oh by the way China’s Social Security System consists of 5 mandatory insurance schemes (pension fund, medical insurance, industrial injury insurance, unemployment insurance, and maternity insurance) a housing fund.
Looks like a terrible, low effort Chinese copycat of the Countryman... but apparently this is the real thing?!
