In Europe, the base model has a single front-mounted electric motor with 201 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, plus a 54-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, while the Countryman SE ALL4 gets a little more power. A larger 64-kilowatt-hour battery pack and two electric motors — one front and one rear — for a combined output of 308 horsepower and 364 pound-feet of torque.

Whatever the version, charging can be done via up to 22 kW AC power, or up to 130 kW from a DC source.

The largest Mini model is 174.5 inches long, 72.5 inches wide and 65.1 inches tall, putting it on par — size-wise — with the Volvo XC40 Recharge, which is 174.2 inches long, 73.3 inches wide and 65 inches tall.
