It\u2019s the first and last version of the crossover with a plug-in hybrid powertrain since the next-gen model will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/04\/23\/2023-mini-countryman-drop-phev-keep-diesel\/\">drop the PHEV option<\/a>. In its place, a purely electric derivative will be sold alongside the combustion-engined model. Before the Mk1 is retired, the Spanish journalists at <em>km77<\/em> decided to conduct some tests.<\/p>\n<p>The first order of business was to have the SE Countryman undergo the dreaded moose test. The car in question had optional 18-inch wheels with Pirelli Cinturato P7 rubber measuring 225\/50 R18 at all four corners. Although it\u2019s a MINI, the electrified crossover is quite heavy as it tips the scales at 1,780 kilograms (3,926 pounds). The car\u2019s tires and weight are crucial factors in a moose test, hence why we felt the need to point out these facts.<\/p>\n<h3>The SE Countryman Was Surprisingly Nimble<\/h3>\n<p>Anyway, back to the moose test itself. The high-riding PHEV managed to impress right from the beginning as it successfully completed the first run. It had an entrance speed of 74 km\/h (46 mph) and didn\u2019t ram into a single cone. There was minimal body roll while the electronic stability control system barely intervened.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequent tests revealed the highest possible entrance speed of 79 km\/h (49 mph) to finish the test without any \u201ccasualties.\u201d The Cooper SE had an exit speed of 41 km\/h (25 mph) after doing about 66 km\/h (41 mph) at the halfway point. The MINI was praised not just for its speed, but also for how it responded to the driver\u2019s inputs.<\/p>\n<p>In the slalom test conducted in both ways, the car completed the course in 23.3 seconds. It\u2019s actually the best time ever recorded by <em>km77<\/em>, beating the likes of other small cars like the Cupra Born and Peugeot 308 Hybrid.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nE55fHhVl2g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">km77 \/ YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"MINI SE Countryman (2021)  - Maniobra de esquiva #esquiva77 (moose test) y #eslalon77 | km77.com\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nE55fHhVl2g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content] ADVERTISEMENT The MINI Cooper SE Countryman\u00a0ALL4 PHEV has an impossibly long name for such a (relatively) small car.
