is indeed electric powered. Inside and out, the SE appears all but identical to the Countryman S ALL4, the entry-level model in the all-new Countryman lineup which has a 241 hp, 295 lb-ft internal combustion four-cylinder engine under its hood., an EV that's derived from an internal combustion engine vehicle. On the contrary, the Countryman SE ALL4 feels like an EV honed for life in the modern urban jungle.
The new Countryman is the biggest car ever to carry the iconic Mini badge; big enough, in fact, to be officially categorized as an SUV in the U.S. The Countryman SE ALL4 also is the heaviest Mini in history, the battery pack pushing the overall mass to a claimed 4,409 pounds, three-and-a-half times the weight of
Through the twisties the SE ALL4 doesn't quite have the initial turn-in response or mid-corner tenacity of the JCW, mainly because its Pirelli PZero tires are optimized for lower rolling resistance than outright grip. But it feels better balanced—the EV powertrain delivers a 50-50 front to rear weight distribution compared with the 57-43 of the internal combustion engine models—and disguises its weight well on the change of direction as the battery is mounted low in the chassis.
In the default drive mode, the Countryman SE ALL displays mild lift-off regenerative braking which can be increased to allow one pedal driving by a further downward flick on the shifter toggle under the OLED screen. Both levels of regen are higher in the sport mode. As is standard practice on many EVs, the brake-by-wire system initially uses regen to slow the car when you hit the pedal and actuates the mechanical braking system only when you need more retardation.
