General description
The 2017 MINI Countryman, in its Cooper D version, presents itself as an attractive option for those seeking the MINI essence in a more versatile and family-friendly format. With its 150 hp diesel engine and 6-speed manual gearbox, it promises a balanced driving experience between efficiency and dynamism, maintaining that distinctive touch so beloved of the British brand.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the MINI Cooper D Countryman, the sensation is one of agility and control, despite its size. The 150 hp diesel engine offers an energetic response from low revs, with a robust 330 Nm of torque. The electric power steering is precise and communicative, inviting you to enjoy every curve. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, filters irregularities well without sacrificing stability, although it can sometimes feel a bit firm. It's a car that makes you feel connected to the road, with that 'go-kart feeling' that MINI has always managed to convey, but with the added comfort of an SUV.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2017 MINI Countryman is unmistakably MINI, but adapted to an SUV format. It retains the brand's iconic features, such as the round headlights and hexagonal grille, but with a more robust and muscular presence. Its 4.3 meters in length and 1.82 meters in width give it a solid and adventurous stance. The interior is a display of personality, with the large central speedometer now housing the multimedia screen, and a quality of materials and adjustments that convey solidity and good taste. It's a design that captivates at first sight and leaves no one indifferent.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2017 MINI Cooper D Countryman incorporates elements that enhance the driving experience and comfort. Its 1995 cc diesel engine with common rail direct injection, variable geometry turbo, and intercooler, is an example of efficiency and performance. The 6-speed manual transmission is precise and pleasant to use. It features a Stop&Start system to optimize fuel consumption in the city. Although it is not an electric car, its environmental label C and its combined consumption of 4.5 l/100km make it a reasonable option in terms of efficiency. The speed-sensitive electric power steering contributes to a more comfortable and safer drive.
Competition
The MINI Cooper D Countryman competes in a highly contested segment of premium compact SUVs. Its main rivals include models such as the Audi Q2, the Mercedes-Benz GLA, the BMW X1, or the Volkswagen T-Roc. Compared to them, the Countryman stands out for its distinctive design, its fun-to-drive character, and the quality of its interior finishes, offering an alternative with a lot of personality and a more emotional touch.
