Mini is not always synonymous with small. The 2022 Mini Cooper Countryman proves this point by making a giant impact on the automotive world.
BMW’s Mini Cooper line has earned a legion of devoted followers for its subcompact pizzazz that has roots in rally racing. When company leaders announced in 2010 that the Mini Cooper would be going bigger and bolder with its first-ever subcompact luxury crossover SUV form, fans were unsure what to think.
Now in its second generation, this ride has laid all doubts to rest and remains a formidable contender in its niche.
Compact Class
Luxury is the name of the game when talking about the Countryman’s interior. The upholstery and materials look and feel like the finest in their class, from the leather-decked seats to the stylishly designed gauges. Set the mood with optional ambient lighting and a moonroof. In addition, keep all your infotainment faves like Apple CarPlay and a rocking 12-speaker stereo within easy reach via the accessible central control knob.
Extra Space
As the largest ambassador of the Mini Cooper brand, the Countryman affords more room to fit your family and your cargo. Up to five adults can comfortably occupy the auto. If you don’t have a need for the rear seat on a particular journey, however, fold it and gain about 48 cubic feet of space for your hauling. You’ll also have some nice underfloor storage space at your disposal.
A Fun Drive
The Cooper Company always knew how to build a zippy and fun ride, which is a big reason why Mini Coopers have become so beloved. Although the Countryman is the big kid of the family, it does not sacrifice the one-of-a-kind Cooper driving experience. A roster of turbocharged engines can deliver up to 300 horsepower, which you can handle nimbly with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive options.
Better yet, you can personalize your ride to your heart’s content. A plethora of paint and decal options set the Countryman apart, including the beautiful and eye-catching Deep Laguna paint job found on the brand-new Boardwalk Edition. You’ll also enjoy other customizable perks from roof to wheels, ensuring your Countryman is truly one-of-a-kind.
A Reliable Ride
Mini Cooper manufacturers have worked hard to solidify a reputation for excellence and quality at every turn. The potential 30-plus miles-per-gallon of highway fuel efficiency helps set this standard. Up the economy more by exploring the potential of the Countryman’s available hybrid plug-in variation, which will net about 17 miles of range from pure electricity alone before the ultra-efficient hybrid component takes over.
And if you want a vehicle that you can count on to keep your family and yourself safe, take comfort in the Countryman’s five-star crash-test safety rating. Bolster safety with standard security features such as a handy parking assistant and a driving assistant that includes emergency braking and forward collision as well as lane departure warnings.
