The plug-in hybrid Mini crossover was the best in class during this test.
The Mini Countryman SE performs admirably in the Moose Test, which simulates an event in which a vehicle must avoid an obstacle on a road like a moose. The Countryman SE has been tested by km77.com and it is among the best in both the moose- and slalom test categories. The presenter said that the car’s reaction was still unknown after the first attempt. It reached 74 km/h (46 miles/h) and the Countryman SE passed the test with relative ease, despite its heavy weight.
The Countryman SE was very agile and the body barely rolled, according to the presenter. In a subtle manner, the ESC was also used. Mini Countryman SE was at 79 km/h (49.5 mph), which was better than the benchmark of 77 km/h (47.2 mph). The plug in hybrid Mini crossover could travel at this speed and avoided all cones. Despite the speed, the presenter stated that the vehicle was easy and manageable.
The Countryman SE made another attempt at 81 km/h (50.3 miles) but, despite the excellent initial maneuver, the Countryman SE was unable to clear the obstacle. It was either the driver’s reaction time or the traction of their tires that caused the failure, according to the testers.
km77.com also conducts the moose test. The Countryman SE passed the slalom test with flying colors. The crossover completed the course in just 23.3 seconds. This time places the Countryman SE at top of the channel’s list, surpassing both the new Cupra Born or the Peugeot 308 Hybrid.
