If you’re looking for an iconic Mini design in a useful crossover shape, you’ll surely like what the 2020 Mini Cooper Countryman offers. It shares its architecture with the 10Best-winning BMW X1, and that’s reflected in its refined road manners and useful back seat. There are three available engines, all turbocharged: a 134-hp three-cylinder for the base Cooper, a 189-hp four-cylinder in the Cooper S Countryman, and a plug-in hybrid powertrain for the Cooper S E Countryman that combines the turbo-3 with an electric motor.

All-wheel drive is optional with the conventional engines and standard on the hybrid. Although none of the Countryman models has quite the playful demeanour of the smaller Minis, they’re still fun on back roads, and you can head to the grocery store without worrying if everything will fit.

The biggest change in the 2020 Mini Cooper Countryman is the switch to a standard seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission on front-wheel-drive base and S versions. All-wheel-drive ALL4 models get the formerly optional eight-speed automatic as standard.
For the moment, a conventional manual gearbox isn’t offered. In addition, Mini’s Active Driving Assistant, which bundles several driver assists is now standard across the board. Base Cooper ALL4 models and all S models have standard adaptive LED headlights and fog lights.
All-wheel-drive Cooper S models get more standard content, including Comfort Access and automatic climate control. There are also some new 18- and 19-inch wheel designs on the options list. The plug-in hybrid Mini Countryman gets a higher-capacity battery pack that nets a few more miles of electric-only driving range.
