MINI Countryman Overview

The 2020 MINI Countryman, now in its second generation, comes in three powertrain variants: Cooper, Cooper S and John Cooper Works. All can be outfitted with an all-wheel drivetrain. The Cooper is powered by a twin turbo 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired to an eight-speed automatic that delivers 134 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. The Cooper S has a twin turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 189 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. Both are paired to a seven-speed double-clutch transmission, except when configured in AWD. The performance-oriented JCW (only available in AWD) is equipped with a twin turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic that kicks out 301 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque. Each powertrain can be customized with three different trims—Classic, Signature and Iconic—that tack on luxury amenities or give access to premium packages. The Cooper S has more power and pick up, but the JWC is a real doozy, crossing 300 horsepower, a new record for the brand. It also comes with sport-tuned suspension or dynamic damper control depending on trim.

Trim Specifications

The base Classic trim offers only four colors and comes with a 6.5-inch infotainment display, 17-inch wheels, a panoramic roof, leatherette seats and a leather wrapped steering wheel. Adding heated seats costs $500. The Signature trim adds more color choices and larger 18-inch wheels as well as a touchscreen and heated seats. The Cooper S and JCW variants get driving modes and forward collision warning. The Signature Upholstery package that upgrades the interior surfaces is available for between $1,000 and $2,000 depending on the model. A larger 8.8-inch touchscreen with navigation and Apple CarPlay is an additional $1,700 as part of the Touchscreen Navigation package. The Premium package with Harman Kardon audio, power folding side mirrors and electric front seats costs between $1,750 and $3,000 depending on the variant. The top Iconic trim gets 19-inch wheels, the Signature Upholstery package, the Touchscreen Navigation package and the Premium package. The Driver Assistance package with adaptive cruise control and parking assist is a $1,250 upgrade across the board. All trims also get the option to upgrade to 19-inch grey or white wheels, which costs $3,295 and $3,500, respectively. Upgrading to an All4, or all-wheel-drive, costs between $1,000 and $2,000 depending on trim level.
