All-new MINI Countryman Electric DRIVEN. Is the Maxi MINI a winner? | Electrifying.com

Surely it should now be called Maxi.

We have ordered that beauty. It`s absolutely great, when you meet him in person. We were skeptical about the new, bigger version of Countryman, but after looking on the other cars, this one is THAT, fun, beautiful, great driving, big but not too big, and not looking like for my father on the inside. It’s a fantastic car for someone, who wants bigger car, but doesn’t want to feel older, than he is.

Mini Oxymoron edition

Love the look of this. The interior in particular seems like it's finally become what it was trying to be all along. Lovely

I’m a big Mini enthusiast. I am in my 4th Mini and I was looking forward for the Countryman EV. For the price is a very hard pill to swallow when you compare the competition. Tesla Model 3, more practicality, room, features, absurd charging network, more range, cheaper, comfortable driving, way better interface. And doesn’t lag with the interface and have the option of upgrade the infotainment in the future with better hardware

At Portugal, again!!! Welcome back...

Great 4k video, well done.

The round screen is cool. The lack of an instrument cluster is not. That old school head up display is a head scratcher for what should be a new high tech car.

I'll be honest I don't like the front but the side profile, rear and interior are fantastic. I think it's the headlights which aren't quite right

Thanks for the review. We always liked that old smaller mini and owned one. But not this behemoth 4-door thing, and we dislike the huge price.

This is longer and wider than a series 1 Land Rover if you want something from scale.

I could listen to Ginny all day 😍

Ginny - good review, I saw some of it I was concentrating on other distracting things! It’s a premium brand now, been in to see one and a test drive reveals how good it is, many people trash them but they should visit a dealer and have a look, they are very good and you only get what you pay for. It is of course a BMW X1 with a different body which says a lot.

That car when configured on the mini website in Ireland is €66k+ ... way too dear for a mini!

Great review, love the car!

Its not perfect but this is certainly on my consider list when I come to renew my lease. it is frustrating that you cannot get any finance figures online and have to go through the tedious process of having someone from a mini centre contact you which is like opening pandoras box for emails, texts and ongoing pointless communications. It would be much simpler if you could get examples of figures for PCP or lease like most other manufacturers do? I've just watched this again and it is one of the more informative reviews. One thing I hope Mini do is offer the option to turn the various sounds off if you don't want them? Still another enjoyable video. Thanks Ginny!

A really fun preview, thank you. This is clearly a wonderful car. I like the well thought out mix of real buttons and switches and touch screen UI, and the lunch plate display both looks good and is practical. Cars I would buy as an alternative include either of the Brabus Smarts or, surprisingly, one of the higher spec Nissan Ariyas. On price, I think BMW are pushing it to the absolute limit for this Mini sub brand sector.

Great video and I really like the walk out of frame at the start into the garden with the old Mini so whoever came up with that 👋but a walk back into the new Mini Frame would have been even better. You right it is a 'premium' brand but nearly double the price of the new Renault 5 , that is a hard sell for me.

Thank you for this review. Did you, by chance, have an opportunity to listen to the sound system (for music, not sound effects)? how would you rate that? I'll be comparing it to the upcoming Honda Prologue...

i like the colour but i have bought the Fiat 600e for £15k less than the Mini Countryman but has a comparable range.
