Mechanically related to both the BMW X1 and X2, the Mini Countryman is, more or less, a small luxury crossover. It may only be Mini in name, but at least a spicy version is offered in the form of the all-wheel-drive John Cooper Works version.
Of course, this Countryman is not that version. Instead, it’s the Cooper SE ALL4. What makes it different than the rest of the lineup? That “E” in the “SE.”
Powering this Countryman is a plug-in hybrid system that consists of a 221-horsepower, turbocharged inline-three mated to an 87-horspower electric powertrain. Working in tandem, the whole system is rated for 134 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque.
