The 2024 MINI Countryman enters its third generation with multiple improvements. The base version is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-three engine producing 134 horsepower, while the Cooper S models receive a 189-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine. For the very performance-focused, the JCW variant uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine that produces 302 horsepower. All engines mate to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Countryman comes standard with FWD, but optional AWD is available. The trims available include Cooper, Cooper S, and the sportier John Cooper Works. Standard safety features include a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. The cabin's tech aspects include an 8.8-inch touch screen, satellite radio, a six-speaker sound system, Bluetooth, and Apple CarPlay. This generation brings a bit more space in the rear seats and boot, improving comfort and practicality.
