Video Summary

Here is the requested summary of the YouTube video review:
- It is the Mini Countryman SE All4, which is a long title for a small-to-mid-size SUV.
- The car retains its heritage, but looks very different compared to older models.
- The 20-inch wheels appear too small.
- The front grille is filled in because there’s no radiator. However, there are active grille vents at the bottom.
- There’s a little bump on the tailgate hiding the radar.
- The headlight clusters look good, but the older circular design was preferable.
- The driving experience was fun and sporty.
- The trunk has a 460-liter capacity, increasing to 1450 liters with the seats down.
- The car has a 40/20/40 split rear seat. Each rear seat is individually adjustable.
- The sub-floor boot has very little space, only enough for the charging equipment.
- There is no front trunk or frunk.
- Walk-away locking and walk-up unlocking are included and loved.
- Two of four USB ports are in the back along with a 12-volt socket.
- No heated rear seats are present.
- 230 kW and 494 Newton meters of torque come from dual synchronous electric motors with power going to all four wheels.
- Three-phase charging gives impressive 22-kW rates.
- Rapid DC charging maxes out at 130 kW, slower than some competitors.
- In the front, the passenger has a six-way electrically-adjustable seat, but the driver gets an eight-way adjustable seat with lumbar support.
- The cabin overall has high-quality materials and touch surfaces, despite some hard plastics.
- The center armrest is adjustable, and it’s easy to store water bottles.
- Most everything is controlled through a bright OLED screen. This was reported to have been laggy in older models, but it’s now responsive.
- It includes DAB radio, Bluetooth, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and built-in maps.
- There are paddle lights under the doors, along with projector lights under the mirrors casting the Mini logo.
- At night the interior ambient lighting is next level.
- Range per hour, the car provides 150 kilometers to go.
- This particular trim is considered a Favorited version that has the following features.
- The driver assist features work well, though there isn’t an auto lane change. The steering assist is responsive, and the system stays engaged when the lane is changed manually.
- This trim also has a Harman Kardon 12-speaker sound system.
- The price is very appealing for its content.
- Upon entering the car, the on/off is a twist-knob function, similar to turning a key.
- The brake pedal feel is discussed in B mode.
- The driving experience is fun but firm. With good under-thigh support and good shoulder width, it also provides head room and grab handles.
