All-electric versions of the MINI Hatch have been around in one form or another for over a decade, but the concept of a large MINI with full-electric power is quite new. And difficult to pull off. It was hard enough for the brand to try and replicate trademark darty MINI handling with earlier generation combustion-powered Countryman models, whose extra weight over their little Hatch counterparts was immediately obvious to MINI loyalists. Add in the prodigious weight this time round of a huge lithium-ion battery pack and you've the recipe for a potential compromise in brand values.
Yet rather against the odds, this Countryman Electric seems to get pretty close to pulling off its difficult development remit. And it does so while moving the game on substantially in terms of cabin design and media connectivity. There's actually nothing quite like it in the segment, which is in itself refreshing and different: as every MINI should be.
