Notable changes from the previous year
The 2024 iteration shows an evolution from the 2022 Mini Countryman. With increased technological integrations and improved interior design, it exudes a balance between retaining the classic Mini charm and introducing contemporary advancements.
Infotainment and Technology Features
The new Mini Countryman is not shy of tech enhancements. Featuring an expansive infotainment display that seamlessly integrates with smartphones, drivers will find navigation a breeze. The user-friendly interface, combined with responsive touch controls, ensures that accessing entertainment, navigation, and other tools is effortless. While Apple CarPlay is onboard, Android Auto continues to be notably absent.
Exterior Design
Measuring at 4,310 mm, this Mini is a refreshing visual blend of tradition and modernity. Its unique 18-inch wheels, gloss-black exterior trim, and side striping from the Untamed Edition, make it an eye-catcher. Whether it's the union jack-infused design or the assortment of striped patterns, customization possibilities are limitless, allowing owners to add their personal touch.
Interior Comfort and Cargo Space
Step inside, and Alberta’s vast landscapes seem to reflect in its spacious cabin. From quirky toggle controls to a generous cargo space of 498 litres (expanding to 1,347 litres with rear seats folded), the Countryman ensures every drive, be it through Edmonton's streets or the majestic Rockies, is comfortable. The Highland Green leather seating of the Untamed Edition ensures luxury isn't compromised.
Performance Features
Beneath its charming exterior lies a beast awaiting command. The base Countryman houses a three-cylinder turbocharged engine, boasting 134 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking more power, the Countryman Cooper S and John Cooper Works models deliver 189 horsepower and a staggering 301 horsepower, respectively. The plug-in hybrid SE model promises both efficiency and power, offering 221 horsepower and 19 km of emission-free driving.
Safety and Driver Assistance Features
Safety, however, is a domain where the Countryman could see enhancement. While its build and design prioritize passenger safety, the lack of features such as forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist makes it lag behind some competitors. Families should also be mindful of the child seat anchors, which might pose some inconvenience due to their design.
