MINI Countryman S All4 vs S Electric
Verdict
At RM258,888 each, there is no premium to justify here; the choice is powertrain. The MINI Countryman S Electric is the quicker car, with 313 hp and a 5.6-second 0-100 km/h time against the MINI Countryman S All4’s 201 hp and 7.4 seconds, plus lower annual road tax at RM335 versus RM439. But the petrol car has a higher 228 km/h top speed, a 54-litre tank and no charging routine. Both are 4,433 mm long, AWD, five-seat SUVs with the same 460-litre boot.
Pick the MINI Countryman S All4 if you want petrol convenience, a 54-litre tank and the higher 228 km/h top speed at the same RM258,888 price.
Pick the MINI Countryman S Electric if you can charge at home or work and want the stronger 313 hp output, 5.6-second sprint and 432 km EV range.
