Mini Countryman
The Mini Countryman is the largest vehicle in the Mini lineup, blending the brand’s iconic styling and fun-to-drive nature with more space and practicality. It’s a compact crossover SUV that has been part of Mini’s portfolio since its introduction for the 2011 model year.
Mini Countryman Overview
The Mini Countryman is a subcompact luxury crossover SUV manufactured by BMW under the Mini marque. It was launched in 2010 and received a facelift in 2014. The second generation vehicle was released in 2017.
The first-generation Countryman debuted in 2010 and was produced until 2016. While it maintained Mini’s recognizable design cues, the Countryman’s larger size set it apart from the rest of the lineup. Mini’s All4 all-wheel-drive system was offered, enhancing the Countryman’s capabilities. The first-gen Countryman provided more space for passengers and cargo, but some criticized the interior quality.
The second-generation Countryman debuted for the 2017 model year with a more refined design, larger dimensions, and improved interior quality. The modern interior includes high-quality materials and features such as a touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay, navigation, and advanced safety features. While larger and heavier than other Mini models, the Countryman still offers an engaging driving experience, especially in the sportier Cooper S and JCW trims.
The Countryman is the largest Mini model ever produced. It is available in a variety of trim levels, including the Cooper, Cooper S, Cooper SD, JCW, and Countryman ALL4. The Cooper and Cooper S models are powered by 1.5L and 2.0L turbocharged 3-cylinder engines, respectively. The Cooper SD is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged diesel engine. The JCW and Countryman ALL4 models are powered by more powerful versions of the 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The Countryman is available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. It has a spacious interior that can comfortably seat five adults. The cargo space is also generous, with up to 730 liters of space available with the rear seats folded down.
