What does it cost?
For The Mini Countryman blends the retro style that Mini buyers love with enough practicality for a small family. All versions are frugal and well equipped.
Against It’s not as much fun to drive as a standard Mini and some versions are pricey.
What Car? says
The Mini Countryman is a Mini that's a viable prospect for families, but some of the three-door hatchback's magic has been lost.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
There are plenty of other choices to be made once you’ve chosen the Mini Countryman. First, you have to choose your engine. The One has 97bhp, the Cooper has 120bhp, and the turbocharged Cooper S has 181bhp. There are diesel versions, too – the One D has 89bhp and the Cooper D has 110bhp, while the SD has 141bhp. None of them feel that strong, though.
The amount of kit you get will depend on your engine choice, too, but all versions come with air-conditioning, rear parking sensors, roof rails, Bluetooth and a DAB radio with a USB input.
Being a Mini, the Countryman will also have a dizzying range of options and accessories to choose from. We’d recommend that you take Mini up on their offer of the TLC servicing package. For a nominal, one-off fee, this takes care of all the costs from your first few services.
