As electric vehicles (EVs) proliferate on American roads, so do the varieties of shapes and sizes you can find them in. As with traditional gas-powered vehicles, among the most popular segment of EVs are compact SUVs, which bring practicality, easy driving manners, and in the case of the 2025 Mini Countryman SE ALL4 and 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5, seriously cool looks and style.
Yet these rivals’ assets are definitely more than skin deep. Here’s how the Mini Countryman SE ALL4 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 compare to each other.
2025 Mini Countryman SE ALL4
The 2025 Mini Countryman SE ALL4 is an all-new model and marks the first time the Mini Countryman has been offered with an all-electric powertrain in addition to the standard gas model. The electric SE ALL4 has power in spades — 308 horsepower and 364 lb-ft of torque — and standard all-wheel drive (AWD); that’s what the ALL4 in the name means.
Beyond the numbers, the Countryman SE ALL4 is, most importantly, still a Mini. That means it brings all the driving fun and charm associated with these little British vehicles. According to the EPA, the maximum range is 212 miles per charge. That’s on the low side of modern EVs, but still more than enough for most daily driving duties.
Mini Countryman SE ALL4 Highlights
Active Driving Assistant Pro: This option enables hands-free driving assistance on freeways, a type of driving automation yet to be found in the Ioniq 5.
AirConsole gaming: This option allows you to play video games on the center screen via the AirConsole platform. It works when parked and can be an easy way to kill time when charging up.
Navigation AR: Another cool and helpful option, this tech overlays directions in real time on the center screen while showing both a video feed of the road in front of you and a traditional nav map below that. If you’re prone to missing navigation directions, this is for you.

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 may be a more mainstream competitor to the premium nature of Mini, but it’s a benchmark in the field of electric SUVs. In fact, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a multiyear winner of our Best Electric Vehicle crown in our Best Buy Awards. It’s easy to see why. Whereas the choices of Mini Countryman SE ALL4 models are limited, this Hyundai SUV is available in a wide variety of trims and specifications.
For 2025, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 gains a NACS port to charge at Tesla Supercharger stations, even more driving range, and the debut of two new variants: the trailblazing Ioniq 5 XRT and the red-hot Ioniq 5 N. As of this writing, the made-in-America 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 also once again qualifies for the $7,500 tax credit, making a lower-priced rival even more lower priced.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 Highlights
More range: At up to 318 miles, the Ioniq 5’s range trounces the distance the Mini Countryman SE ALL4 can go between charges. You also have the choice of rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive in the Ioniq 5.
More power: The Mini has good power, but the Ioniq 5 can have more. Standard models can be fitted with dual motors netting 320 hp and 446 lb-ft of torque, while the Ioniq 5 N gets a bonkers 601 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque that enables zero-to-60-mph blasts of 3.25 seconds. See? We meant that whole bonkers part.
More dirt-road fun: If your idea of fun involves dirty (road) shenanigans, check out the new Ioniq 5 XRT. More rugged, more beefed up, and with a bit more ground clearance, this new Ioniq 5 variant is ready to play the muse to your rallying dreams.

For most other buyers of compact electric SUVs, though, the Ioniq 5 will be the better choice.
