<\/a><\/p>\nDespite small changes in the SUV\u2019s EV powertrain, the 2026 Countryman makes the same power as before. In the U.S., that means exclusively all-wheel drive, dual-motor models making 308 horsepower and 364 pound-feet of torque. MINI Says the Countryman SE (all-wheel drive) will accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds. Our SE ALL4 review<\/a> has more about driving impressions. The rest of the world enjoys a front-wheel drive standard model. Its power is also unchanged at 204 (metric) horsepower and 250 Nm of torque.<\/p>\n From March 2026, most European markets will see the range boost<\/a> we detailed in the introductory paragraph. The new and improved Countryman EV will enjoy traveling up to 501 km on a full charge (measured via WLTP; front-wheel drive model). All-wheel drive models still see a nice boon, with range growing to 467 km. The U.S. is not confirmed for these changes as of this writing. For now, U.S. drivers will need to make do with the 212-mile EPA estimate (with 18-inch wheels). Regardless of where you are in the world, the Countryman EV charges quick, from 10 to 80 percent in under 30 minutes with DC charging.<\/p>\n MINI has streamlined the interior choices to reflect its sustainability push; Vescin\/cloth upholstery is the sole seating option. The seats offer decent side bolstering for spirited driving, though they forgo power adjustment in favor of manual controls. That simplicity fits the brand\u2019s back-to-basics ethos, even if some buyers will miss the convenience. Comfort isn\u2019t overlooked, however \u2014 both the front seats and steering wheel are heated, and a panoramic moonroof comes standard. Together, those touches create an atmosphere that manages to feel cozy and premium without losing MINI\u2019s signature sense of fun. None of this, of course, is new for the 2026 model year.<\/p>\n Practicality is another strong suit of the electric Countryman. As a true compact SUV, it delivers the kind of cargo space buyers expect from the segment. With the rear seats folded flat, there\u2019s an impressive 56.2 cubic feet of room to work with, while leaving them upright still provides a useful 24.8 cubic feet. Those numbers easily outclass similarly shaped rivals like the Volvo EX30, which offers just 31.9 cubic feet with the seats down and a modest 11.2 cubic feet behind the second row.<\/p>\n As is the case with in-cabin digs, the new Countryman EV has no changes to tech or connectivity. There\u2019s one small exception: the Countryman EV will now come with one physical key and one \u201ckeycard\u201d key, in lieu of two fobs. Otherwise, expect the same circular OLED screen powered by OS 9. In-car gaming, a head-up display, and wireless device charging are all complimentary inclusions. The Iconic Trim houses the rest of the best tech, but at $3,400 it\u2019s a hard sell. However, it does add power seats, a decent Harman\/Kardon sound system, augmented reality navigation, and lots of driver aids we\u2019ll get to in a second.<\/p>\n For continuities sake: the Iconic Trim includes Parking Assistant and Driving Assistant Plus. The 360-degree camera and self-park functionality of Park Plus makes it a fantastic add. The only way to get semi-autonomous driving in traffic is by stepping up to the $2,400 Comfort Package Max. It\u2019s a dubious value especially if you\u2019ve already loaded up on options. Like last year, the Comfort Package Plus is the smart buy; $1,500 adds AR-assisted navigation and the self-parking goodies. Standard equipment is also pretty good on the Countryman EV. Active Blind Spot Detection, Frontal Collision Warning, and Lane Departure Warning are all complimentary.<\/p>\n The U.S. sees no price increases year-over-year for the MINI Countryman SE ALL4<\/a>. This parallels nicely with the gas-powered 2026 MINI Countryman<\/a>. Of course, since little changes, that\u2019s almost a requirement. So, for $45,200 (before $1,175 destination and handling), the Countryman EV is decidedly not middle of the pack. The Kia Niro EV and Volvo EX30 both start a few thousand dollars cheaper. That said, the Countryman EV does offer a splash of personality decidedly lacking from the competition.<\/p>\n2026 MINI Countryman EV Charging and Range<\/h3>\n
