Compare the MINI Cooper Electric vs MINI Countryman Electric
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between these electric Minis comes down to practicality and size. The MINI Countryman Electric is longer, charges faster and travels further on a charge. It also has a bigger boot than the MINI Cooper Electric, and offers more room with the back seats folded down. That extra space shows in the cabin, too: in the back of the Countryman, there is loads of legroom for a six-foot adult behind a driver of the same size, and installing child seats should be pretty easy. By contrast, a six-footer will struggle to fit behind another in the back of the Cooper, where kneeroom and headroom are particularly tight and fitting a child seat is a bit of a nightmare. Up front, both cabins are dominated by a circular touchscreen with climate controls that are not the easiest to tap on the move and smartphone mirroring that runs in an awkward square. Neither car has a front boot, and both suffer from noticeable wind and road noise at motorway speeds.
