Detailed analysis of the MINI Countryman Cooper D Aut. · 111 CV (2011-2012)
General description
The 2010 MINI Countryman Cooper D Aut. is a bold proposition from the British brand, a compact SUV that maintains MINI's fun and chic essence, but with a versatility and space that make it unique. With its diesel engine and automatic transmission, it presents itself as a practical and efficient option for those looking for something different in the crossover segment.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Countryman Cooper D Aut. offers a driving experience that, although not as radically sporty as its smaller siblings, is still rewarding. The speed-sensitive electric power steering provides a good connection with the road, while the suspension, with McPherson struts at the front and a deformable parallelogram at the rear, filters out irregularities well without sacrificing agility. The 111 hp diesel engine, with its variable geometry turbo, delivers 270 Nm of torque from low revolutions, which translates into an energetic response and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.3 seconds. The 6-speed automatic transmission with torque converter operates smoothly, making urban and road trips more relaxed. The combined consumption of 5.6 l/100km is a plus for daily use.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the MINI Countryman is unmistakably MINI, but with a stature and robustness that distinguish it. Its 4097 mm length, 1789 mm width, and 1561 mm height give it an imposing presence. The five doors and four seats (although the 350-liter trunk is generous for its size) make it practical for everyday use. Aesthetic details, such as the 16-inch wheels with 205/60 R16 tires, reinforce its adventurous character without losing the brand's characteristic elegance. It is a car that attracts attention and, despite its size, retains that playful MINI charm.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2010 Countryman Cooper D Aut. incorporates solutions that seek to optimize efficiency and comfort. The common rail direct injection diesel engine, with turbo and intercooler, is an example of engineering to achieve a good balance between performance and consumption. Electric power steering is a key element for maneuverability and the feeling of control. Although it does not have the latest innovations in connectivity or driving assistants that we see today, for its time it offered adequate equipment for a pleasant and safe driving experience.
Competition
In the compact SUV and crossover market, the MINI Countryman Cooper D Aut. faced rivals such as the Nissan Juke, Skoda Yeti, or Mitsubishi ASX. Its main differentiator was, without a doubt, its aesthetics and the 'brand feeling' that only MINI can offer. While other competitors might excel in interior space or price, the Countryman opted for personality, quality finishes, and a more emotional driving experience, albeit with a price of €26,451 that placed it at the higher end of the segment.
Conclusion
The 2010 MINI Countryman Cooper D Aut. is a car with character, which managed to expand the MINI philosophy into a booming segment. It is an ideal option for those looking for a stylish vehicle, fun to drive, and with the versatility needed for everyday life, without sacrificing the efficiency of a diesel engine. Its timeless design and build quality make it an attractive proposition for those who value exclusivity and emotion behind the wheel.
