IS THE ELECTRIC MINI COUNTRYMAN THE BEST AND MOST FUN MINI YOU CAN BUY?

EV Channels Review

The reviewer explores the all-electric Mini Countryman SE All 4, noting its significant growth in size compared to previous Mini models and the original electric Mini SE. While acknowledging the premium pricing (starting around $45,000, up to $50,000 with options) and a less-than-stellar official range of 212 miles from its 64 kWh battery, the Countryman SE All 4 impresses with its dual-motor AWD setup providing 38 horsepower and brisk acceleration (0-60 in 5.6 seconds). The interior features a unique, large circular central display with customizable 'experiences' (drive modes) and a blend of premium materials. The reviewer highlights the convenience of electric vehicles for daily use, citing low maintenance and ease of operation, though questions whether the larger size still defines it as a 'Mini'. The ride is described as quiet, solid, and comfortable, making it a practical city runabout, but the reviewer ponders the challenge for manufacturers to differentiate EVs when they drive so similarly.
