The Mini Countryman is a small, prestige SUV that is based on the Mini Cooper hatchback.
Originally introduced to the Australian market in 2011, the Mini Countryman rivals both other prestige suvs - such as the Audi Q3, BMW X1, BMW X2, Jaguar E-Pace, and Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class – and high-end versions of the Volkswagen Tiguan, Hyundai Kona, Mazda CX-3, and Peugeot 3008.
Mini offers both efficient turbo-diesel, and punchy turbo-petrol engines for the Countryman; all of which are paired with an eight-speed torque converted automatic.
While most models get front-wheel drive, the top-of-the-range $65,900 Countryman JOHN COOPER WORKS ALL4 gets all-wheel drive.
Prices for the Countryman start at $42,200 for the Countryman Cooper.
