Mini has expanded its lineup with the introduction of two new models, the Mini Countryman C and Countryman S, each offering a distinctive blend of driving comfort, spacious interiors, and efficient engine performance.
The Mini Countryman C boasts an efficient 3-cylinder petrol engine, producing an output of 170hp. Accelerating from 0 to 100km/h in a brisk 8.3 seconds, it achieves a top speed of 212km/h. With 280Nm of torque, the car ensures a lively and characteristic Mini driving experience. The integration of mild hybrid technology contributes to energy recovery during braking and supports the internal combustion engine during accelerations, resulting in reduced fuel consumption and emissions.
On the exterior, it stands out with its increased dimensions, being 13cm longer and 8cm higher than its predecessor. The redesign includes an octagonal front grille, distinctive LED headlights, and optional new light signatures. The C-pillar seamlessly joins the stretched car roof, and Piano Black roof rails are now standard, enhancing the model’s versatility with options like roof racks or a Mini roof box. With a ground clearance of 202mm and a dynamic chassis, the Countryman C ensures safety and comfort even on uneven roads. Light-alloy wheels, ranging from 17 to 21 inches, complement the model’s aesthetics.
Inside, the Countryman C offers a spacious and versatile interior, accommodating up to five adults. Features include sports seats, a panoramic glass roof, and rear seats with adjustable backrests for enhanced comfort and flexibility. The interior design centres around a round OLED display with a diameter of 240mm, allowing convenient and intuitive operation of infotainment and assistance systems via touch or voice command. Mini Experience Modes enable changes to the cockpit appearance, combining visual design, ambient lighting, and sound design.
The inclusion of Driving Assistant Plus introduces partially automated Level 2 driving on highway-like routes, allowing hands-off steering up to a speed of 60km/h.
For personalisation, Mini offers four trim variants—Essential, Classic, Favoured, and JCW—each providing a range of customisation options. The Favoured trim, for instance, features a contrasting roof, a Vibrant Silver front grille frame, and expressive design elements. The interior of the Favoured trim includes a two-tone colour gradient made from recycled polyester, contributing to a comfortable atmosphere.
