The Countryman is MINI's only SUV so far. Yes, it's bristling with familiar design cues, but the proportions, shapes and detailing aren't like other MINIs', either contemporary or historic. The bodywork looks more muscular, with greater definition and robustness. There are roof rails, chiselled edges and headlamps that look like rounded-off rectangles rather than cutesy circles. Inside, the Countryman is undeniably a MINI at heart, as evidenced by the circle design theme, though there are BMW-like plushness to the materials. There's also a generous level of standard equipment across a wide variety of trim levels though as ever with a MINI, it's possible to spend a fortune on customising it to your preferences.
