To recap

There’s no lack of fun factor here, making the PHEV version of the Mini Countryman S E a fun car to drive. There’s plenty of power for a nippy drive, although the actual electric-only range is limited. If you’re looking for a small plug-in hybrid then options are limited and this Mini is certainly unique.
