Countryman Cooper SE ALL4 vs Ateca: chronicle of a drag race at 218 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Countryman Cooper SE ALL4 hits 100 km/h in 6.90 s versus 7.15 s for the Ateca. At this point, the Countryman Cooper SE ALL4 leads by 0.25 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Countryman Cooper SE ALL4 is doing 123 km/h against 122 km/h for the Ateca. The gap is 0.20 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Countryman Cooper SE ALL4 crosses the line in 15.09 s versus 15.32 s. The 0.23 s gap represents roughly 10 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Countryman Cooper SE ALL4 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 168 km/h versus 168 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Countryman Cooper SE ALL4 finishes in 27.63 s versus 27.81 s, with a 0.18 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (210 vs 218 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Countryman Cooper SE ALL4 is capped at 210 km/h, the Ateca at 218 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.63 kg/hp vs 8.50 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.35 seconds. The 0.25 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
MINI Countryman Cooper SE ALL4 is slightly faster than the Cupra Ateca to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
