Cooper 4dr All-Wheel Drive ALL4 Sport Utility
2021 MINI Countryman
The 2021 Mini Countryman blends the space and practicality of a crossover with the distinctive style of Britain's favorite compact hatchback. The 2021 model gets some minor revisions, including new Union Jack taillights, a redesigned front end, and new wheel and color options. Inside, the 8.8-inch touchscreen is now standard on all but the base trim.
Buyers can choose from among four engine choices. The base engine is a 134-horsepower turbo-3 that pairs to either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. The Countryman S features a 189-horsepower turbo-4. At the top is the John Cooper Works and its 228-horsepower turbo-4.
The fourth choice is a plug-in hybrid that's sold under the SE moniker. It gets a 10-kwh battery and a small electric motor affixed to the turbo-3. Total all-electric driving range is just 17 miles, during which it returns 73 MPGe.
The other models aren't quite so efficient. The base model is good for 26 mpg city, 33 highway, 29 combined; the more popular S is rated at 24/33/28 mpg. The JCW hasn't been rated by the EPA.
Safety equipment found on all Countryman models includes automatic emergency braking and not much else. A $1,250 Driver Assistance Package bundles adaptive cruise control, parking sensors, and a head-up display.
The NHTSA hasn't tested the Countryman, but the IIHS awarded it a 'Good'? rating in all their tests.
