AI generated from our expert reviews

Choosing between these two models comes down to practical space, seating flexibility and how they handle. The MINI Countryman JCW gives you a larger boot as well as more space with the rear seats folded down, and its back bench can slide back and forth to help balance luggage room and legroom. By contrast, the MINI Countryman Electric has a fixed rear seat. In either car, you will find three adults sitting abreast in the back is a squeeze. Both also share distinct fabric dashboard trims that make you wonder how easy they will be to clean after family use. Out on the motorway, both suffer from noticeable wind and road noise, and both transmit the jolt of expansion joints through their suspension. Head onto twisty roads, and you will find accurate steering in both models, though neither provides much feedback about what the front wheels are doing.
