New York. Just a few days after its world premiere at
the IAA Mobility 2023, the new all-electric MINI Countryman made its
debut in New York. The occasion was the panel “Driving Forward:
The Transforming of Future Mobility”, which was organised by
URBAN-X, the startup accelerator founded by MINI, as part of Climate
Week NYC.
At the event, the all-electric MINI Countryman made its North
American debut. The new MINI Countryman E enables locally
emission-free electric mobility with driving pleasure typical of the
brand. More space in the interior and the increased electric range of
up to 462 km* invite you to go on excursions beyond the city limits.
It combines a distinctive design, advanced drive technology and an
immersive digital experience.
The new MINI Countryman Electric is an important step for MINI
on the way to becoming an all-electric brand by 2030, combining
locally emission-free electromobility with the greatest possible
environmental compatibility, including in production. This includes
surfaces in the interior made of recycled polyester as well as the
production of the light alloy cast wheels from up to 70 percent
secondary aluminium.
At the panel discussion “Driving Forward: The Transforming
of Future Mobility”, representatives from the start-up world, the
automotive industry and urban planning discussed current challenges
and possible solutions to transform urban mobility in the future.
URBAN-X was founded by MINI in 2016. Since then, more than 70
startups from different countries have already participated. At the
beginning of September, the 13th cohort started with another six
urbantech startups dedicated to developing solutions for climate protection.
