MINI Countryman
More agile than most subcompact SUVs on the market, the Countryman is the most spacious of all MINIs and also the most adventurous, the company says. Featuring ALL4 all-wheel drive as standard, it comes with three- and four-cylinder turbo engines ranging from 134 to 228 horsepower. A plug-in hybrid version—a first for the brand—gives us a taste of the upcoming MINI Electric. Also notable is the optional power liftgate allowing access to the 450-litre trunk.
