2024 Mini Cooper, Countryman EVs Global Debut on September 1: Here’s What to Expect

The 2024 Mini Cooper EV and the Countryman EV are all set to mark their global debuts on September 1. The same was confirmed with a teaser posted by Mini on the BMW Group's YouTube channel. Even if the teaser is rather ambiguous, the revised headlights on the Countryman EV are arguably the most evident detail seen. Despite the teaser's generality, the revised headlights on the Countryman are arguably its most disputed revelation. The round-shaped headlights of the previous-generation Countryman appear to have been replaced with more aggressive, angular forms that are surely unusual on a Mini. The carmaker opted to introduce the electrified models first, delaying the launch of their upcoming ICE-powered siblings. Notably, before their production at the BMW Group's Leipzig factory in Germany begins, both Mini models will be showcased at the IAA Mobility Show in Munich.
