Mini Countryman SE

The Mini Countryman SE is the fully electric version of the largest Mini model, sharing its platform with the BMW iX1 while retaining the brand’s distinctive styling and driving character. The Mini Countryman SE combines dual-motor all-wheel drive, practical SUV packaging, and Mini’s signature circular interface with EV-specific technology.

Range and Battery of the Mini Countryman SE:

• Uses a 65–66.4 kWh battery pack with an official driving range of approximately 341 km, depending on version.
• Supports 22 kW AC charging, allowing a full recharge in about 7-8 hours under ideal conditions.
• DC fast charging peaks at 130 kW, charging from 10% to 80% in around 29–30 minutes.
• Battery preconditioning activates when navigating to a fast charger, improving charging performance in cold conditions.
• Reviewers and owners reported noticeable winter range reductions, while warm-weather efficiency generally matched official estimates.

Powertrain and Performance of the Mini Countryman SE:

• Dual electric motors produce 308 kW and 364 Nm, driving all four wheels for improved traction and balanced torque delivery.
• Accelerates from 0–100 km/h in approximately 5.4–5.6 seconds, with smooth, immediate power delivery typical of EVs.
• Battery placement under the floor creates a low centre of gravity and near 50:50 weight distribution, reducing body roll and improving cornering stability.
• Multiple driving modes adjust throttle response, steering weight, regenerative braking, displays, and sound profiles, including Go-Kart and Green modes.
• Regenerative braking offers selectable intensity, including strong near one-pedal driving, although reviewers noted friction brake blending can feel inconsistent.

Technology and Features of the Mini Countryman SE:

• A 9.4-inch circular OLED touchscreen controls infotainment, vehicle settings, navigation, charging data, and drive modes, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Includes a head-up display, configurable ambient lighting, customizable LED light signatures, and a Harman Kardon premium audio system on higher trims.
• Safety features include a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, and parking assistance.
• Interior combines recycled textile surfaces, panoramic glass roof, wireless phone charging, USB-C ports, and configurable driver profiles.
• Rear cargo capacity is approximately 460 L, expanding to about 1,450–1,530 L with the rear seats folded, with additional underfloor storage for charging cables.
