CarTell take
We haven't driven the Countryman yet. On paper, JCW at $75,490 plus on-roads pushes close to BMW X2 M35i money, so cross-shop before committing. The toggle bar replaces almost every physical control, so spend time with it on a test drive.
Why consider it
- Genuine petrol-or-electric choice in one body on the same chassis, with a 240mm circular OLED cabin display that is the most striking in the segment and a JCW 233 kW hot SUV flagship.
What to know
- Toggle-style interface puts more functions on screen and needs more eyes off the road than physical buttons did, and the SE electric DC max of 130 kW is behind newer dedicated-EV platforms.
Who it suits
Style-led small SUV buyers who want a genuine choice of petrol or electric in one body, hot-SUV fans chasing the JCW, and first-time EV families who want BMW-grade charging tech without the X1 badge premium.
