Introduction
What Car? says...
Strictly speaking, ‘countryman’ means someone born, or at least living, in a rural area. Well, take a lingering look at the Mini Countryman. Does it look to you like it’s ever tasted a good ploughmans or smelt the waft of a thickly manured field? No, it doesn’t to us, either, but that’s actually not its remit.
Just check out those sculpted bumpers and the glitzy, Union Flag-style taillight design. If cars wore clothes, the Countryman would be dressed from head to toe in urbanite Nike, not tweedy Barbour. Put simply, if you want a small, go-anywhere off-roader, have a look at our Dacia Duster or Suzuki Jimny reviews instead.
Along with the personalisation options we've touched upon already, the Mini Countryman is available with a good selection of petrol and diesel engines, and there’s also a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) option. With its claimed pure electric range of almost 30 miles and fantastic company car tax breaks it could end up saving you a packet.
