Win a big weekend adventure in the brand-new MINI Countryman Hybrid

Posted on 3 April, 2019

MINI and the Forage are celebrating the release of the most stylish hybrid car yet.

In the fight against climate change, electric and hybrid cars are an essential part of reducing pollution and fossil fuel consumption. Thanks to their environmental benefits, there are now more than three million electric cars on the road worldwide and sales are growing at close to 75% a year. (They’re also much cheaper to run when compared with petrol and diesel vehicles). But did you know hybrid cars could actually be cool?

At The Forage this weekend, you’ll get the chance to check out the sophisticated new MINI Countryman Hybrid and go in the draw to win a car for the weekend plus an overnight stay at the QT Canberra.

Powered by high-tech lithium-ion battery, the MINI Countryman Hybrid can be charged to 80% in 3 hours, 15 minutes via your standard household plug. Its electric motor is capable of producing instant power with zero emissions, without sacrificing any agility or versatility.

With 165kW of power, the car can go from zero to 100km/h in only 6.8 seconds. In fact, you’ll be able to drive 40 kms in electric mode without any local CO2 emissions, then the car will smoothly switch to the petrol drive without you having to lift a finger. It’s an efficient, sustainable way to drive into the future. Did we mention the fuel economy is 2.4L/100km?

Plus, the MINI Countryman Hybrid is the most spacious MINI ever, with five seats, a roomy boot and added legroom. It’s big enough for your weekend escape but small enough to park at the Kingston Foreshore. (Which you’ll definitely be doing to show off the MINI Countryman Hybrid’s slick new design.)

After revolutionising the electric vehicle market with the MINI Countryman Hybrid, MINI has no plans of slowing down, with an all-electric series production model in the works for the very near future. If it all sounds too good to be true, head over to the Forage this Saturday and prepare to have your electric-car expectations well-and-truly exceeded.
