MINI Countryman

The Car Guide rating 4.0/5 79% Detailed ratings
Price $31,090 – $44,390 Payments
Fuel consumption 7.6 – 10.6 L/100km
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.
