2025 MINI COUNTRYMAN SE ALL4 VS AUDI Q4 ETRON 50 VS MERCEDES EQB 250+

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Mini Countryman SE All4 is presented as a fun and funky electric crossover, built on the same platform as the BMW iX1. While it boasts a powerful 310 horsepower and engaging "go-kart mode" driving dynamics, its primary drawback is its relatively small 64 kWh usable battery, which significantly impacts real-world range, especially in cold Canadian winters. The reviewer experienced a highway range of approximately 240 km in -22°C conditions, far below the rated 340 km. Interior space, particularly rear legroom, is noted as tight compared to competitors like the Audi Q4 e-tron. The head-up display effectively replaces the traditional dashboard, though climate controls are solely screen-based. The "Assist Plus" hands-free driving system showed inconsistent performance. Despite its shortcomings in range and space, its base price of $59,000 is considered a good value for its power and AWD capability, though options can push the price to $70,000.
