    Based on the invitation sent to Zigwheels Philippines, the two new all-electric models under the European automotive marque are set to be officially revealed on September 20.

     

    While waiting for the company to share information related to the soon-to-be-unveiled products, here are the vehicles’ possible specifications as seen on other markets.

    The all-electric Mini Cooper measures 3,858 millimeters (mm) long; 1,756 mm wide; and 1,460 mm tall with a 2,526-mm wheelbase and as much as 800-liter luggage capacity. On the other hand, the electrified Countryman is 4,445 mm long; 1,844 mm wide; and 1,641 mm tall with a 1,590-liter cargo capability.

    Powering the former in front-wheel-drive configuration is an electric motor that can dish out 184-218 horsepower and 330 Newton-meters (Nm) — depending on the variant. The said mill allows the vehicle to go 0-100 kilometers per hour (kph) in around 7.3 to 6.8 seconds and reach a 17-kph top speed.

    Meanwhile, the latter can do 0-100 kph in approximately six seconds and hit a peak of 180-kph with its dual electric mills that can provide as much as 312 hp and 418 Nm.

    Giving the needed juice for their respective powertrains are the 64.7 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery found in the all-electric Mini Countryman and the 36.6-49.2 kWh for the Cooper.

    Both models continue to sport the chunky exterior. However, while the all-electric Mini Cooper continues to sport the rounded headlamps and the distinct octagonal front grille, its counterpart in the Countryman nameplate wears a more squared look with its hexagonal front lighting.

    At the rear, the all-electric Mini Countryman is fitted with adjustable rectangular taillamps and the Cooper a triangular illumination.

    The same go-kart feeling is assured for the two models with its classic-contemporary steering wheel. Abroad, the electrified Countryman and Cooper come with OLED displays.
