Four of the hottest crossover SUVs you can buy are about to go head-to-head over the quarter-mile!

We’ve got Mat in the new MINI Countryman JCW, and he’s lining up against a BMW iX2, a VW T-Roc R, and an Audi SQ2!

So let’s see how these pocket rockets compare. Starting with the MINI, it’s powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine that can put down 300hp and 400Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,735kg. If you’re looking to pick one up it’ll set you back just under £40,000.

Alongside it we have the all-electric iX2. It comes with dual motors that combine to produce 313hp and 494Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels, and it tips the scales at 2,020kg. Not only is it the heaviest car here, it’s also the most expensive, costing around £51,600.

The T-Roc R & SQ2 are built on the same platform, so as a result, their performance stats are pretty much identical. Both are powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo, and both produce 300hp and 400Nm. Both are equipped with a 7-speed gearbox and four-wheel drive, although while the T-Roc weighs 1,575kg, the Audi is slightly lighter at 1,535kg. The Audi is also just over £1,000 cheaper than the VW, costing around £44,100.

So will it be an easy win for the all-electric BMW? Or will another car snatch it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
