Mini Countryman

The Mini Countryman is the largest model in the Mini range, giving the brand a more practical SUV for Australian families and lifestyle buyers. It offers a higher driving position, more cabin space and a bigger boot than the hatch models, while keeping Mini's distinctive design language. The Countryman competes with premium compact SUVs from BMW, Audi, Volvo and Mercedes-Benz, plus style-focused mainstream rivals. Its appeal lies in blending personality with genuine everyday usability, including school-run practicality and weekend flexibility. Newer versions bring more technology and available electric power, helping the Countryman serve as the sensible Mini for buyers who need space without losing character.

2025 Mini Countryman S All4 review

The speedy and funky Mini Countryman S is also a very practical compact SUV, with just a couple of caveats.

Pros

More practical than you'd think
Groovy interior design
Has the Mini-esque fun factor

Cons

Can feel a bit twitchy
Some controls hard to learn
Pragmatic customers have better, cheaper options

Good

A solid choice that does most things well. Comfortable, capable, and worth considering in this segment.

Falls a bit behind others in the segment, but still passes safety checks and may suit specific needs or budgets.

Pragmatic customers have better, cheaper options

2025 Mini Countryman Electric review

Electrification hasn't ruined the Mini Countryman. Rather, it's raised the bar for what a small battery-powered SUV can be.

2024 Mini Countryman SE All4 review

The electric Countryman SE is a fun and funky ticket into EV life, with retro-inspired design and a huge tech jump. It's also sharply priced.

2024 Mini Countryman C Classic review

The new Mini Countryman is a bigger, better equipped SUV than before. It's the right blend of practical and fun, although it's not perfect.

2024 Mini Countryman JCW review

The new Countryman is now larger than ever and built in Germany alongside the related BMW X1. Regardless, it still feels as Mini as ever.

2023 Mini Countryman Hybrid Untamed Edition review

Mini has given the Countryman an adventurous makeover with the Untamed Edition. But at $73k, is this PHEV version more style than substance?

2023 Mini Countryman review

The Mini Countryman isn't cheap, and it isn't all that new – but it still has something to offer in 2023.

2021 Mini JCW Countryman review

The JCW Countryman continues to be fun, fast and practical. It's getting pricey though, and it's sorely lacking in key safety tech.
