MINI Countryman (2024-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Lots of interior space	Interior doesn’t impress as much for quality
Well equipped	Infotainment has some ergonomic issues
Very stylish interior	Many rivals ride more comfortably

Quick Summary

The third-generation MINI Countryman (2024-present) is a significantly larger and roomier SUV, designed to meet modern family demands for space and practicality while retaining MINI's distinctive style. It offers generous interior space, especially for rear passengers, and a practical boot. Available with petrol (C, S, JCW) and all-electric (E, SE) powertrains, it boasts a unique circular OLED infotainment screen that, while visually striking, presents some ergonomic challenges.

Driving dynamics are generally alert, though the ride can be firm, with the JCW model benefitting from adaptive suspension. Standard equipment is comprehensive, including LED lighting, dual-zone climate control, and a powered tailgate. Running costs are competitive within its class, with petrol models offering up to 46.3mpg and electric variants providing up to 287 miles of WLTP range. It's a stylish and practical option for those seeking MINI character in a family-friendly package.

Best for: Families needing generous space and practicality, buyers seeking distinctive style and character in an SUV, and those who appreciate a well-equipped car as standard.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising lush interior quality over glitzy design, those who prefer physical controls over a touchscreen for all functions, or drivers seeking the most comfortable ride in its class.
