If you’re thinking about purchasing a MINI Countryman, you’re probably drawn to this five-door small SUV’s blend of classic MINI styling with a welcome added dose of practicality. It is the largest new MINI you can buy, and certainly the most family-friendly.
The raised seating position feels good, while a series of engines blend good performance with impressive fuel economy. You can even get a plug-in hybrid version, with a 26-mile pure electric range and ultra-low CO2 emissions – plus the added benefit of ALL4 four-wheel drive.
Rivals to the MINI Countryman include the Audi Q2, the Mercedes-Benz GLA and the impressive Volvo XC40.
If you’re thinking about buying or leasing a new MINI Countryman, let us be your guide to everything you need to know. And why not check out the selection of MINI Countryman models in stock at heycar?
Small SUVs are in great demand at the moment. If you want one with all the familiar crossover SUV traits, such as a high seating position and enhanced practicality, but yearn for the more bespoke character that MINI is renowned for, the MINI Countryman fits the bill.
Most models have a 450-litre boot, appreciably larger than something like a Volkswagen Golf, while even the entry-level Cooper does 0-62mph in less than 10 seconds. The top-spec John Cooper Works has well over twice the power and cuts this 0-62mph time in half.
Meanwhile the MINI Countryman Plug-in Hybrid emits as little as 40g/km of CO2 and boasts a pure electric driving range of up to 26 miles. Even this version does 0-62mph in 6.8 seconds; the trademark lively performance of the MINI brand is amply showcased here.
Being related to several BMWs, the MINI Countryman benefits from its parent company’s technology, including one of the best infotainment systems around. Being a MINI, it also offers pin-sharp handling and delivers plenty of smiles per mile. Enthusiasts will love this effervescent crossover SUV as much as families and the style-conscious will.
MINI has tailored the model line-up in recent years. There’s a good level of standard equipment across the range, which can be tailored via Classic or Exclusive add-ons. It means there’s no such thing as a base-spec MINI Countryman, while owners have the opportunity to indulge if they want to buy or lease a more bespoke version.
These trim grades are combined with those core Cooper, Cooper S, John Cooper Works and Plug-in Hybrid engine variants, so picking the perfect MINI Countryman for you should be easy.
The latest MINI Countryman is a popular model in the range, with the double-pronged appeal of MINI style and crossover SUV practicality. Add in those grin-inducing MINI dynamics, and it’s not hard to see why it appeals.
MINI has tailored the latest model line-up into an appealing range of trim levels and specs, meaning it’s impossible to choose an unappealing Countryman model. The choice comes down to how much you want to spend, and what sort of bespoke touches you’d like.
The fact you can choose between the pure electric range of a Plug-in Hybrid, the value of a Cooper or Cooper S, or the thrilling performance of a John Cooper Works, simply adds to the breadth of this popular MINI. It overcomes the practicality barriers many face to owning a MINI, yet still delivers the characterful personality and bespoke nature of the brand.
A MINI Countryman not for you? We've got 1000s of used cars for sale to suit all budgets and needs.
If you're going to be doing lots of short trips and are able to charge it easily, then the MINI Countryman Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) is the one to go for. It's got an official electric-only range of 26 miles (though in real-world use this is likely to be less), while there's a three-cylinder petrol engine to kick when needed, delivering 220PS and a 0-62mph time of 6.8 seconds.
Otherwise, the smaller three-cylinder 1.5-litre petrol engine is our pick. Badged Cooper, this is a gutsy little engine that punches above its weight.
There are only three trim levels to choose from (Classic, Sport and Exclusive). We'd be tempted to pick the more affordable Classic trim as it comes with most of the features you'll need and you've got the option of adding on one of MINI's option packs to help tailor the Countryman to suit your requirements. If you're looking for something a little more luxurious, you won't be disappointed by the Countryman in Exclusive trim, though you'll certainly pay for the privilege.
If you want a diesel-engined MINI Countryman, your only option is to buy used (look for ‘D’ branding – i.e. One D and Cooper D). There are some spicy high-performance John Cooper Works versions as well, while the Cooper and Cooper S have always offered strong performance and decent economy.
The MINI Countryman has an easy-to-navigate range of models, trim levels and specifications. For engines, choose between Cooper, Cooper S or Plug-in Hybrid, with the John Cooper Works sitting at the top of the range as a flagship all on its own.
Then pick your trim level: either Classic or Exclusive. There’s also currently a special limited-edition model called the Untamed Edition.
The MINI Countryman’s exterior dimensions are:
The MINI Countryman’s boot size is:
VED rates for most MINI Countryman models fall on the flat rate of £180 per year from the second year, though if you're getting a high-spec car that's had a number of options bolted on, keep an eye on the price. If the list price goes over £40,000, it will be hit with a £390/year premium car tax for five years (from the second time the car is taxed).
The MINI Countryman might be more affordable to insure than you think. The entry-level Cooper Classic starts from group 17, or group 18 for the automatic, ALL4 and Exclusive versions. The Cooper S starts from insurance group 24, with the Plug-in Hybrid available from group 26. Needless to say, the most expensive MINI Countryman to insure is the John Cooper Works, which has a group 33 insurance rating.
