The Countryman SE is a fun, charming EV crossover. You just have to accept its ambitious price, limited range, and frustrating infotainment system.

Mini made a practical choice with the redesigned 2025 Countryman. It’s bigger than the old one, having grown four inches taller, an inch wider, and a whopping six inches longer front-to-back. That makes the redesigned Countryman roughly the same size as a Ford Bronco Sport. For the first time, Mini has a small SUV in its lineup. And having driven two versions of it, I think the all-electric version makes more sense than any internal-combustion variant—with some caveats.

The damping is progressive, soft over small road imperfections but firm enough to minimize body roll on sweeping curves. Mini loves a quick steering rack, and the electric Countryman’s 14.7-to-1 steering ratio is just on the polite side of darty. Coupled with the brisk acceleration, the energetic steering makes the SE far more sporty than your run-of-the-mill utility box, though you won’t get an ounce of feedback or feel from the electric-assist tiller.
