The Mini Countryman SE ALL4, introduced in March 2024 as part of the U25 generation, represents Mini’s foray into a fully electric subcompact SUV. Positioned as a premium offering within the Countryman lineup, it provides an all-electric alternative to the traditional combustion engine models. Built upon the FAAR platform shared with other BMW Group electric vehicles, the SE ALL4 aims to deliver the brand’s signature driving dynamics with zero tailpipe emissions. Production is slated to continue through January 2026, marking a relatively short production run for this initial iteration of the electric Countryman.

Powertrain & Engine Architecture
The Countryman SE ALL4 utilizes a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive (AWD) powertrain. Each axle is driven by a synchronous electric motor, providing instant torque and precise control. The front motor (HB0001N0) and rear motor (HB0002N0) combine to deliver a total system output of 313 horsepower and 494 Nm (364.36 lb.-ft.) of torque. The 66.5 kWh (gross) / 64.6 kWh (net) lithium-ion battery pack is positioned under the floor, contributing to a low center of gravity and improved handling. The battery supports DC fast charging, allowing for a significant charge in a relatively short period. The single-speed automatic transmission is inherent to electric vehicle architecture, providing seamless acceleration without gear changes.
Driving Characteristics
The dual-motor setup of the Countryman SE ALL4 delivers brisk acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in approximately 5.3 seconds. The instant torque characteristic of electric motors provides responsive acceleration in all driving situations. Compared to the gasoline-powered Countryman variants, the SE ALL4 offers a quieter and smoother driving experience. The all-wheel-drive system enhances traction and stability, particularly in adverse weather conditions. While the performance is comparable to some of the higher-output gasoline models, the electric Countryman prioritizes efficiency and refinement over outright sporty handling.
Equipment & Trim Levels
The Countryman SE ALL4 comes standard with a comprehensive suite of features, including a digital instrument cluster, a large touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) such as automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning. Interior upholstery typically consists of premium materials, and the dashboard design reflects Mini’s signature quirky aesthetic. Optional extras include a panoramic sunroof, premium audio system, and adaptive cruise control. Trim levels beyond the base SE ALL4 may offer additional cosmetic and convenience features.
Chassis & Braking
The U25 Countryman utilizes a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, tuned to provide a balance between comfort and handling. Ventilated disc brakes are used at the front, while solid discs are employed at the rear. The electric powertrain’s regenerative braking system helps to recapture energy and extend the vehicle’s range. The vehicle’s weight, at approximately 2000 kg (4409.25 lbs), is relatively high due to the battery pack, but the low center of gravity helps to mitigate the effects of this weight on handling.
Market Reception & Comparison
The Mini Countryman SE ALL4 has been generally well-received by automotive critics, who praise its engaging driving dynamics, stylish design, and zero-emission powertrain. Compared to other electric SUVs in its class, the Countryman SE ALL4 offers a unique blend of Mini’s brand identity and BMW Group’s electric vehicle technology. Fuel economy, expressed as MPGe, ranges from 113 to 125, and energy consumption is between 16.8 and 18.5 kWh per 100 km. The relatively short production run and premium price point may limit its market penetration compared to more mainstream electric SUVs.
Legacy
The Countryman SE ALL4 represents a significant step in Mini’s transition to electric mobility. While long-term reliability data is still emerging, the BMW Group’s experience in electric vehicle technology suggests that the powertrain should prove durable. On the used car market, the SE ALL4 is expected to hold its value well, particularly among buyers seeking a stylish and environmentally friendly SUV. The U25 generation Countryman, and specifically the SE ALL4 variant, will likely be remembered as a pivotal model in Mini’s history, marking the brand’s commitment to a sustainable future.
