Mini Cooper Countryman
Latest Model
2025 Model Redesign Year
The redesigned Countryman comes standard with a 241-hp, 2.0-liter turbo-four and AWD.
The dual-clutch transmission delivers quick and direct shifts, but its low-speed hiccups and a slight takeoff delay make it challenging to drive smoothly.
While the ride is firm, it's reasonably comfortable and controlled, and handling remains nimble.
The cabin is fairly quiet, and the engine emits a satisfying vroom.
The large, circular center touchscreen houses the infotainment system, and there's a head-up display for the speedometer.
Controls are very confusing and distracting.

2025-Present
2025 Model Redesign Year
The redesigned for the 2025 Countryman got bigger in almost every dimension, and as before, shares its platform with the BMW X1.
The 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder makes a spirited 241 hp, and all-wheel drive comes standard.
While the Countryman's seven-speed dual-clutch transmission delivers quick and direct shifts, some low-speed power delays and hiccups make it challenging to drive smoothly.
There is an underlying firmness to the ride but it's reasonably comfortable, overall.
The cabin is fairly quiet and the engine emits a sporty vroom.
Handling is still nimble.

Front- and all-wheel drives are offered.
An all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid version follows, with a promised all-electric range of 24 miles.
This SUV-like Countryman has grown longer than the original, bringing in more interior space and flexibility.
The optional Mini Driving Assistant system includes forward-collision warning with low-speed automatic emergency braking, pedestrian warning with brake assist, and automatic high beams.

2011 Model Redesign Year
The four-door Countryman is a bigger pseudo-SUV version of the Mini.
The quirky interior has well shaped and comfortable seats, and some models had an intriguing but flimsy sliding storage rail system.
Early versions only sat four, but later versions added a three-person rear seat.
Sharing the quick steering and fantastic agility of other Minis, the Countryman is undeniably fun to drive.
Unfortunately, the familiar Mini downsides carry over to this one, too, including frustrating controls and a choppy ride.
Power comes from a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, either in standard 121-hp form or as a punchy turbocharged S model good for 184 hp.
