class=\"has-text-align-center\">Words by: Adam Allen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a time when automakers would announce they\u2019d be building a forthcoming SUV that would make enthusiasts go apoplectic without fail. Porsche is planning to build an SUV? Cue obligatory frothing of the mouth. Rolls Royce is gonna do <em>what?<\/em> Find the closest paper bag to stave off hyperventilation. Aston Martin MUST be Joking, right? I\u2019ve fallen and I can\u2019t get up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Way back in the dawn of the 2010\u2019s when Mini told us that they\u2019d be joining the party with a model to be called Countryman, we didn\u2019t even bother to hurl the remote in angst. By that time, we\u2019d become desensitized to proclamations that would threaten to destabilize the automotive world off its axis. With an ambivalent wave of our collective hands, we went back to populating our MySpace page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we finally drove one years later, we couldn\u2019t wrap our heads around the Countryman\u2019s size. Oh sure, it shared a platform with the BMW X1 with which we are quite familiar with, but those winged badges meant that we would have a hard time getting used to the relatively huge footprint. To us, the Mini brand started and ended with the Cooper, full stop. After logging a good number of kilometers, we found ourselves vibing with the nascent SUV. It still felt like a Mini in terms of driving feel and dynamics (thank goodness for that) even if it didn\u2019t particularly look like one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"cta-guides-sm\">\n<span>Shop 2025 Mini Countryman Models on Carpages.ca <\/span>\n<div>\n<a class=\"is-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carpages.ca\/used-cars\/search\/?year_start=2025&#038;year_end=2025&#038;make_name=mini&#038;model_name=cooper-countryman\">Find Your Next Ride<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward nearly 15 years and the Countryman is now entering its third generation and while it\u2019s still familiar so much has changed, as we\u2019ll see. You still get the large vehicular footprint and SUV-like profile from before- the step in and exit height is high enough that you could never forget that what you are driving isn\u2019t very Mini at all. You are also still privy to the ALL4 all-wheel drive and the <em>joie de vivre<\/em><strong> <\/strong>that the Mini brand has always stood for. Your first clue that this is an all-new Countryman is in the way it looks, and yes, it is bigger than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The front and real lighting elements have been redesigned to look more \u2018edgy\u2019 than before- that descriptor was offered by one of our mothers-in-law who is the proud owner of a 2017 example. There\u2019s a new styling flourish on the C-pillar that reminds everyone you\u2019re packing all-wheel drive, and the 20\u201d wheels are the snazziest we\u2019ve seen a Countryman wear to date. Our tester\u2019s particular spec looked understated yet still retained the funkiness that people want without being obnoxious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next bits of newness is found on the stuff you can\u2019t see, specifically the new drivetrain. Mini installs the very same 2.0 turbo found in the X1 making an identical 241 horsepower. That\u2019s great because BMW builds some of the silkiest and powerful 4-cylinder engines on the market. Give it the beans and the new dual clutch gearbox will happily drop a gear or two while a satisfying burr can be heard from beyond the firewall. Maybe someone should send the Mini engineers the tired facepalm gif because how they forgot to include a set of paddle shifters for a DCT gearbox is borderline unfathomable. While we\u2019re kvetching, we think those calibrating the DCT\u2019s relationship with that stellar engine could eliminate some of the hesitancy (with an alarming flat-footed behavior on step-off that appears when trying to shoot a gap in traffic) would go a long way in adding to the drivetrain\u2019s overall smoothness and poise. There is a John Cooper Works high performance version of the Countryman, but we think the S offers more than enough gumption to get you moving along smartly through traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"cta-guides-sm\">\n<span>Shop 2025 Mini Countryman Models on Carpages.ca <\/span>\n<div>\n<a class=\"is-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carpages.ca\/used-cars\/search\/?year_start=2025&#038;year_end=2025&#038;make_name=mini&#038;model_name=cooper-countryman\">Find Your Next Ride<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the door and make yourself comfortable inside- an easy feat with the increased dimensions of the cockpit- again, not such a Mini vibe but great for those who appreciate airiness and the feeling of not being shoehorned into their cars. The large and impeccably rendered OLED display takes some getting used to but ultimately becomes a pleasure to use- except when you are trying to activate the seat heaters with your finger (a small area of real estate is devoted to turning it on and off) and the road surface doesn\u2019t cooperate with bumps and jiggles trying to throw you off course that you will inevitably encounter thanks to our less than perfect patches of tarmac. We fell for the knit textile surfaces that set the Countryman apart from pretty much anything else out there- plus it\u2019s made with recycled polyester, allowing for a little environmentally friendly flex. It\u2019s all assembled with care and while we\u2019ll dearly miss the old school toggle switchgear, we can\u2019t deny that the Countryman\u2019s cockpit is a pretty nice place to be. The seats, which look great and offer all-day comfort, deserve special mention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By now it should be clear that the Countryman still packs the traits that make Mini\u2019s such a blast to drive- go kart-like handling, whimsical interior appointments and an inherent cheekiness that people still relate to after all these years. The segment the Countryman does battle in is a busy one; shoppers are definitely spoiled for choice. And you could take the safe path and put one of the old stalwarts in your driveway like the dreary Mercedes Benz GLB or the insufferably boring Audi Q3 and no one would bat an eye. Or you could find yourself gravitating towards something much more fun and offbeat in the Mini as we found ourselves doing when our week with it came to an end. Heck, we even prefer the Countryman over the slightly stoic BMW X1 with which it shares a platform. Life is short folks: Let your hair down! Live a little!
