2027 MINI Countryman SE ALL4 performance

Performance and Powertrain

The MINI Countryman SE ALL4 uses a dual all-electric motor system producing 308 hp and 364 lb-ft of torque. It pairs standard MINI ALL4 all-wheel drive with an automatic single-speed transmission and two regeneration levels. MINI lists a 0–60 mph time of 5.4 seconds and up to 216 miles of EPA-estimated range.

The Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance also uses dual electric motors and all-wheel drive. Volvo lists 422 hp, 400 lb-ft of torque, a 3.4-second 0–60 mph time, and up to 253 miles of EPA-estimated range with 19-inch wheels.

The EX30 therefore has the clear straight-line performance advantage, with 114 additional horsepower, 36 additional lb-ft of torque, and a quicker manufacturer-published acceleration time.

The MINI answers with greater maximum towing capability. The Countryman SE ALL4 can tow up to 2,645 lbs with its available factory-installed trailer hitch, compared with Volvo’s 2,000-lb maximum braked-trailer rating for the EX30.

2027 MINI Countryman SE ALL4 interior and cargo

Interior, Space, and Cargo

The size difference is one of the clearest distinctions between these two electric SUVs.

The MINI Countryman SE ALL4 measures 175 inches long and 64.6 inches tall. MINI lists 40.4 inches of front legroom, 37.0 inches of rear legroom, 40.7 inches of front headroom, and 37.4 inches of rear headroom.

The Volvo EX30 measures 166.7 inches long and 61.0 inches tall. It provides 41.9 inches of front legroom and 32.3 inches of rear legroom, along with 40.1 inches of front headroom and 38.3 inches of rear headroom with the panoramic roof.

Cargo capacity favors the MINI when the comparison uses equivalent manufacturer measurements. The Countryman SE ALL4 provides 24.83 cubic feet with the rear seats upright and up to 56.18 cubic feet with them folded. The EX30 lists 11.2 cubic feet of standard second-row-up cargo capacity, 12.4 cubic feet maximum in that configuration, and 27.8 cubic feet with the rear backrests folded.

The EX30 also includes a small 0.2-cubic-foot front storage compartment.

Inside the MINI Countryman SE ALL4, standard equipment includes heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a Panoramic Moonroof, MINI Head-Up Display, MINI Navigation, and Wireless Device Charging.

The EX30 takes a different design direction with a minimalist central-display layout and interior choices including Pixel Knit, Nordico, Wool Blend, and textile combinations.

Technology and Safety

2027 MINI Countryman SE ALL4

The MINI Countryman SE ALL4 centers its cabin around a 9.4-inch circular OLED Display running MINI Operating System 9. Standard technology includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, MINI Intelligent Personal Assistant, MINI Navigation, Digital Key Plus, MINI Head-Up Display, Wireless Device Charging, and MINI Connected services.

Signature Plus Trim also includes Active Driving Assistant, Parking Assistant, and the Comfort Package. Iconic Trim adds features including Harman Kardon Premium Sound, MINI Navigation with Augmented Reality, Parking Assistant Plus, an Interior Camera, and available Active Driving Assistant Professional through Comfort Package Max.

2026 Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance

The Volvo EX30 uses a 12.3-inch center display with Google built-in. Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play are integrated directly into the vehicle, while wireless Apple CarPlay is also supported.

The 2026 EX30 is offered in Plus and Ultra equipment levels. Plus includes features such as a panoramic roof and Adaptive Cruise Control. Ultra adds Pilot Assist, Park Pilot Assist, and a 360-degree camera with 3D View.

The EX30 also offers Harman Kardon Premium Sound and a digital key, while wireless device charging is available at higher equipment levels.

Both vehicles therefore provide extensive connected and driver-assistance technology, but their interfaces differ substantially: MINI emphasizes its circular OLED Display, Head-Up Display, and MINI Experience Modes, while Volvo emphasizes Google built-in and its centralized touchscreen environment.

2027 MINI Countryman SE ALL4 cargo and towing

Cargo and Towing Capability

The Countryman SE ALL4 has the more substantial cargo and towing specifications in this pairing.

With all five seating positions available, MINI lists 24.83 cubic feet of cargo capacity. Volvo lists 11.2 cubic feet for the EX30 behind the second row under its standard measurement and up to 12.4 cubic feet using its maximum second-row-up measurement.

Maximum cargo capacity is 56.18 cubic feet in the MINI versus 27.8 cubic feet in the Volvo.

For towing, the MINI can handle up to 2,645 lbs with the available factory-installed trailer hitch. Volvo rates the EX30 for a maximum 2,000-lb braked trailer.

Those differences may matter more to shoppers who routinely carry bulky cargo or plan to tow a light trailer. As with any EV, towing and heavier loads will reduce available driving range.

2027 MINI Countryman SE ALL4 charging

Range and Charging

The EX30 Twin Motor Performance provides the longer EPA-estimated range in this comparison: up to 253 miles versus up to 216 miles for the Countryman SE ALL4.

Volvo lists a 69.0-kWh battery for the Twin Motor Performance and a DC fast-charging time of as little as approximately 28 minutes from 10% to 80% under suitable conditions.

The MINI uses a 64.7-kWh battery and supports DC fast charging at up to 130 kW. MINI states that the battery can reach approximately 80% charge in about 30 minutes under appropriate fast-charging conditions.

Actual charging speed and driving range vary with battery temperature, ambient temperature, charger capability, state of charge, driving conditions, climate-control use, and other factors.

Value and Ownership

The Countryman SE ALL4 includes a 4-year/50,000-mile MINI New Passenger Car Limited Warranty and an 8-year/100,000-mile high-voltage battery warranty. New MINI vehicles also include Complimentary Scheduled MINI Maintenance for up to 3 years or 36,000 miles and MINI Roadside Assistance for 4 years with unlimited mileage.

Volvo provides a 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty and an 8-year/100,000-mile high-voltage battery warranty for the EX30. Volvo also lists 12-year/unlimited-mileage corrosion protection and 4 years of unlimited-mileage Volvo Assistance warranty coverage.

Both therefore provide matching headline new-vehicle and high-voltage-battery warranty periods.

The standard-equipment differences may be more meaningful than the warranty comparison. Signature Plus is the starting Trim Level for the MINI Countryman SE ALL4 and includes a Panoramic Moonroof, MINI Head-Up Display, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, MINI Navigation, Wireless Device Charging, and Parking Assistant.

Volvo’s 2026 EX30 lineup begins with Plus, while Ultra adds additional parking and highway-assistance technology.
