Mini Australia has confirmed pricing and specification for a further three models for the new-generation Countryman small SUV, two of which are fully electric.

Although pricing starts at $49,990 before on-road costs for the already-confirmed front-drive Countryman C, Mini will offer its first all-electric small SUV from $64,990 before on-road costs.
