Compare the MINI Countryman vs MINI Countryman Electric
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between the petrol MINI Countryman and the MINI Countryman Electric comes down to practicality details and powertrain preference. Both models feature an eye-catching circular central display without a dedicated instrument cluster behind the wheel, though each runs Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in an awkward windowed mode. In the back, both cabins are better suited to two adults than three, and the rear doors on each do not open especially wide. You can equip the petrol Countryman with sliding rear seats to balance legroom and luggage room as needed, whereas the Countryman Electric has fixed rear seats. If hauling is on your agenda, the petrol Countryman can tow more than its electric sibling.
