Mini Countryman Electric

Model reviewed: Dual-motor 65kWh SE All4
Score: 8 / 10
“We don’t expect the dual-motor version to be the sweet spot of the new electric Mini Countryman’s line-up. But the signs are promising because while the Cooper SE is eye-wateringly expensive and undoubtedly faster than it needs to be, it does lots of the basics really well – practicality, comfort, agility – while still retaining that sense of fun that appeals to regular Mini customers.”

“An impressive debut for the electric Mini Countryman. It’s a still a bit weird looking from the outside, the interior colour combos won’t be for everyone and the inevitable button cull hasn’t done the ease of control of some features any favours. But for the money you’re getting a top-quality electric driving experience, solid build quality and plenty of space. Hard to ignore, for sure.”

“The fast and feisty zero-emissions Mini Countryman Electric will of course help save the planet, and in that rather puritanical way, give you that warm, smug glow of satisfaction and superiority over the other parents doing the school run, and yet still give you a decent amount of range between charges on longer journeys. You can sin while still appearing to be a saint.”

“We like the new Mini Countryman Electric a lot, but to get your head around you have to start by understanding that this isn’t a mini Mini… The new Countryman is longer than a Nissan Qashqai and larger than a Hyundai Kona. It’s a well put-together, fun family car that still has the quirky style and character that’s the essence of the Mini brand – just in a much bigger and safer package.”

“The Mini Countryman is now in its third generation, and things have moved fast since the first model arrived in 2010. The latest Countryman is the biggest yet, but also the most visually striking and is finally available in all-electric Countryman E and Countryman SE forms, with front- and all-wheel drive and different levels of performance.”

“The Mini Countryman Electric is rather good. The build quality seems strong, the materials and cabin design are innovative without being unnecessarily indulgent, there’s plenty of space even compared with conventional family SUVs, and the performance from the SE All4 version is punchy without being unmanageable.”

“Much of the Mini Countryman SE All4’s appeal is grounded in sensible characteristics. It has a well-made, roomy and attractive interior, it looks good on the outside, and it drives in a pleasant and accomplished manner that will make it a delight to travel in as the main family car. The range claims are believable, and even if its handling talents aren’t the sharpest in the world, the sophisticated feel of the electric drivetrain suits the new Countryman down to the ground.”

“A two-tonne Mini almost-SUV isn’t going to handle like a go-kart, but the Mini Countryman SE All4 is surprisingly entertaining to drive all the same. More importantly, it’s good to use and efficient the rest of the time. Which is more relevant in the real world.”

“Provided you don’t frequently need to venture too far away from a charging point, the Mini Countryman Electric makes a good case as an upmarket family SUV that you can plug in.”
