MINI Countryman 2019 - 1.5 Cooper S E Exclusive ALL4 PHEV 5dr Auto

0 Previous Owners, Browns of Richmond are delighted to offer this fantastic latest generation MINI Countryman Plug in Hybrid. Finished in the ominous Midnight Black with beautifully contrasting and original18-inch Pair Spoke alloy wheels. What stands out about this particular car is the Satellite Grey interior, contrasting against the black exterior it looks so classy. Mating two powertrains into one to provide a super simple means of benefiting from what each has to offer is pure genius. Maximise fuel efficiency by driving on pure electric for shorter journeys and take advantage of the easy of refuelling a petrol engine for longer journeys. The fact of the matter is, for the vast majority of people in the UK the daily commute is around 30 miles, in which case a driver could save a fortune in petrol by using only the EV option! The petrol engine is the newer 1.5 cc, capable of decent fuel economy on its own, mated to an automatic transmission. In addition, the car is fitted with a 10-kWh battery capable of powering the whole car for around 20 to 30 miles. With clever and innovative technology, the two between them can deliver some mind-boggling economy stats, not only that but combined they generate 224 bhp! One of the biggest differences between a Full Hybrid such as a Toyota Rav4 and a Plug in Hybrid like this Sportage PHEV is control over the battery, in a plug in hybrid the driver has the ability to drive the car on pure electric for longer periods of time and at higher speeds. Essentially if you have a short commute this car can be driven in the same way you would a normally aspirated car but only via the battery, making it incredibly fuel efficient. Unlike a full Battery electric vehicle, the PHEV driver doesnt need to worry about longer journeys and having to plan stops, it can completely rely on its petrol engine full time if required. You get all the benefits of EV driving (over short ranges) and none of the disadvantages, this truly is a great way to begin a journey into alternative fuelled cars. In typical MINI fashion, it?s a really funky looking car, bigger than the conventional hatch MINI but far more suitable for a growing family. People generally love the MINI brand and the Countryman allows legacy customers to stay with the brand when they?ve outgrown the hatch. Is plain to see that this cars previous keeper took care of it, not only is it in pristine condition inside and out but also the service history is impeccable, always serviced within the MINI network
