– The climatic effect is like a distance in space.
The Mini has become a family car in recent years. Most models are Countryman.
This is a kind of stationary / crossover edition with a great clearance, an easy space and four wheel drive. Now, it's also a paying hybrid. This is the news that will probably boost the Mini brand further. We have tested it.
What's new
Here is a ladder on the front, mounted a car charger in the trunk and pushed the engine and drive another success in the BMW / Mini Group, BMW 225 XE.
Cooper SE, called the Hybrid Edition, has a 136-hp, 1.5-liter, three-cylinder engine, a 6-speed automatic transmission and an 88-speed electric motor that drives the rear wheels, allowing it to defend the designation All4
Inside was introduced intruments that monitor the modes of driving / economy whole and different. Otherwise, the charming Countryman is very similar to himself

What are the strengths and weaknesses here?
The strength here is that you get a lot of power for comparatively little money as the car has a strong image and that it is politically correct on top of that
Weakness is a relatively gasoline engines, a short electric range and therefore a limited environmental impact, and it can not be attached.
How much does it cost?
Starting price for a Mini Countyrman SE All4 is 370 700 crowns, while our somewhat expensive test car costs a hundred.
The scale is more charming and playful than direct ergonomics.
The Mini was a strong brand and a little cool as mentioned. It is therefore natural to think that cars such as the Audi A3 e-throne and the brother of the BMW 225 XE group are the two closest competitors here.
The mini is probably a little more "childish and rebellious" than these two more conservative competitors.
Will the neighbor be impressed?
Many people think that the Mini Countryman is a hard car, different, fun and fun. It was at least adjectives that often came back from people we met during the testuka.
But if your neighbor has a Tesla Model X, he will probably smile at you only a little joy. If he has a worn old Peugeot 406, he will probably be very impressed.

you will need to charge frequently to get the full environmental output of Mini Coutryman SE
Broom believes:
We already knew before Take the space behind the wheel as Mini Countryman was going to be a nice and charming acquaintance. The design, the playfulness, the driving pleasure, the decent space and all these things are not new and certainly do not disappoint him.
Chargers are in the loop like never before, so it's sure to sell well. Politically correct and taxable as it is. The hybrid version is the least expensive edition of All4 AWD. We are probably talking about a new bestseller Mini
However, we are a bit skeptical about the environmental benefits. The battery is weak and the electrical range is relatively short. About three miles down the stream, we managed to get it out. This means that you often have to load and have a lot of small vehicles to get the full environmental effect.
For trips a little longer, consumption increases as fast as possible. Asker Returns – Tønsberg on the E18, including a small drive, gives a consumption of just over 0.6 l / mile. We started with a fully charged battery and drove well during the hot summer days. It is very high above the official consumption of 0.25 l / mil.
By doing this with the charge, there are many visits to the gas station. The fuel tank has been reduced to 36 liters to accommodate the battery.
The conclusion is that you get a lot of power here at a good price. The car is as charming and easy to look at as it has always been. It's just a car that you just love to watch it. The environmental benefit, however, is like a distance in the space – unless you have a lot of small driving and are very good at loading.
With a trunk of over 400 liters and acceptable rear seats, it can be a family car
