The Mini Countryman brings that classic Mini style to what is best described as a family SUV and manages to balance fun and practicality in the process. Now in its third generation, the latest Countryman echoes the same ‘charismatic simplicity’ design as features in the new Mini Cooper.
There are three variations of the new Countryman, a base level C, a sport S All4 model and the top-spec John Cooper Works model. There are also two electric models – the E and SE All4 – coming soon. Ahead of the electric offerings, I got a chance to drive the new petrol line-up and spent time in both the standard C and the John Cooper Works model.
