MINI Countryman review
Mini is preparing to launch its latest offering, the Countryman, in the UK later this month.
Jochen Goller, director of Mini UK, said that the Countryman "takes the Mini story to a new level".
Back in July, Mini announced that it was to make a comeback on the international rally circuit.
The MINI 4x4 has finally hit UK roads. With a raised ride height, four doors and a usable boot, the new Countryman is no ordinary MINI. We got behind the wheel of the range-topping, four-wheel-drive Cooper S ALL4 to find out. The good news is all the things that make the MINI so popular are present in the Countryman, from the quirky interior to the sporty driving experience and bold styling.
Watch our video review of the MINI Countryman at launch in Germany.

Inside, there’s MINI’s trademark chrome toggle switches and huge central speedometer, plus the new Centre Rail which holds cups, sunglasses and phones.
With the seats all the way back, luggage capacity measures 350 litres, but fold the Countryman’s seats flat, and it has a generous 1,170-litre bay.
Even in standard trim, the Cooper S is £22,030, which is expensive when compared
to rivals – the turbocharged 1.6-litre four-wheel-drive Juke starts from £19,595.
