The 2023 MINI Countryman, part of the second generation introduced in 2017, is a versatile compact crossover that blends British charm with German engineering. It offers four trims: Cooper, Cooper S, John Cooper Works, and Cooper SE (a plug-in hybrid variant). Engine choices include a 134-hp turbo-three in the Cooper, a 189-hp turbo-four in the Cooper S, and a zippy 301-hp turbo-four in the John Cooper Works. The Cooper SE combines a three-cylinder engine with an electric motor for a combined 217 hp. Front-wheel drive is standard, with optional all-wheel drive (standard on John Cooper Works and Cooper SE). The Countryman employs the MINI Connected infotainment interface, with a 6.5-inch or optional 8.8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, navigation, and more. Safety features include automatic emergency braking, rearview camera, and available park assist and adaptive cruise control.
