Video Summary
Here is the summary of the car review:- This is the review of the Mini Countryman. The small hot hatchback that served the reviewer with a lot of fun over the years will have to go.
- The vehicle is a practical SUV and crossover that allows adults to do responsible things. Lots of manufacturers produce small SUVs and crossovers now, which are very practical, that allow us to do the things which that new sense of adulthoodness brings with it.
- The Countryman has grown in size quite a bit physically as well as in price.
- It features a blend of fun with practicality. The new Mini Countryman, and nothing says fun and feistiness quite like a mini.
- Now for the first time in its life, the Countryman has gone all electric, which means that we're ticking even more of those boxes that suggest that we've grown up and we're being much more responsible adults than we used to be.
- The Countryman has grown in size, and it's not just physical size it's growing, it's grown up when it comes to its price. The presenter is thinking is there an alternative out there that sorts of like says that we're taking life a little bit more seriously and we're trying to be a bit more practical, while still retaining that fun factor that we're looking for.
- There is a saying that whilst growing old is compulsory, growing up is purely optional. The car blends fun with practicality and adulthoodness. The reviewer asks that if the car is about those boxes that suggest they've grown up and becoming more responsible than they were?
- For the first time in its life, the Countryman has gone all electric.
- For styling, it’s a car that divides a lot of opinion even among Mini owners. That new look is divisive.
- It has what Mini calls charismatic simplicity. New headlights here with the daytime running lights and indicators that go around and sidelights in a hexagonal fashion around the single LED lamp.
- It has the new Mini hexagonal grille. They've kept the colour scheme simple but it’s grown in price.
- For usability. It’s got a 64.7kWH battery that gives a range of about 250 miles with 130KW charging speeds on DC, which means that going from 10%-80% is about 29 minutes.
- In the interior are black textile trim with red highlights.
- Performance wise with the Brabus addition with 428 bhp, it’s super quick. It gets to 60 in about 3.7 seconds.
- As much as there is to like about that Mini Countryman, you will see that it’s not that great on practicality for storage, if the kind of car we’re looking for.
- The front seats are really comfortable, very supportive, and the same is true for the rear two seats. Plenty of headroom, which lifts the interior
- There is also a central armrest.
- On charging, Smart has a standard 22kw on board charger that will charge your car in approximately three hours.
- Driving assistance is done with the high level of systems and aids as would now be expected.
- It had a good safety suite, even more so than other cars he reviewed this year.
- Overall, the reviewer loves the Smart. He is extremely happy with the styling. He believes that it looks great and is happy with the performance. He admits that the boot and cabin are not the biggest out there, but the other features of the car more than makeup for it.
