The Mini Countryman SUV is redesigned for the 2025 model year, and as before, it shares its platform with the BMW X1. There is also a fully electric version, called the SE ALL4 with 212 miles of electric range, which is short by today's standards. The EV eliminates the drivability quirks of the gas version with smooth, effortless getaway. Unfortunately the default adaptive regenerative braking is not always in tune with the driver's intentions. The EV is just as nimble as the regular Countryman even though the steering is lighter. Ride comfort is a bit better due to the added 800 pounds plus of the EV. Home charging is helped by an 11 kW on-board charger that can pump about 30 miles of range per hour. Maximum acceptance rate of 130 kW at public DC-fast charging places is not very competitive. The quirky interior employs a giant, circular center screen as well as a head-up display that acts as the driver screen. Controls are daunting at first but manageable with familiarity. The Mini finally gets blind spot warning (BSW) and the optional Driver Assistance Pro comes with adaptive cruise control that has a lane-changing ability.
