Detailed analysis of the MINI One D Countryman · 116 CV (2017-2019)
General description
The 2017 MINI One D Countryman is a proposition that combines MINI's fun and chic essence with the versatility and space of a compact SUV. With its 116 HP diesel engine, it promises efficiency without sacrificing that distinctive touch that is so popular. It is a car that seeks to conquer those who want more than just a simple means of transport, offering a driving experience with character and an unmistakable design.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the MINI One D Countryman, one experiences a surprising sense of agility for its size. The steering is precise and communicative, inviting you to enjoy every curve. The diesel engine, although not an outpouring of power, delivers its 270 Nm of torque from low revolutions, which translates into an energetic response in everyday life and great ease for overtaking. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, filters irregularities well without sacrificing stability, offering a balance between comfort and dynamism. It is a car that makes you feel connected to the road, with that 'go-kart feeling' so characteristic of MINI, but with the comfort of a larger vehicle.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2017 MINI Countryman is unmistakably MINI, but with a musculature and presence that distinguish it. Its 4299 mm long, 1822 mm wide and 1557 mm high give it a robust and adventurous silhouette, without losing the brand's friendliness. The round headlights, hexagonal grille and chrome details combine with a higher body and marked wheel arches, creating an aesthetic that is both retro and modern. The interior maintains the MINI philosophy, with a dashboard that integrates iconic elements such as the large central speedometer (now often a multimedia screen) and a control layout that, although peculiar, becomes intuitive after a brief adaptation period. The materials and finishes are of good quality, conveying a sense of solidity and care.
Technology and features
In the technological section, the 2017 MINI One D Countryman incorporates what is necessary for a modern and connected driving experience. Although it is not an outpouring of futuristic innovations, it has an intuitive infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity and, depending on the equipment, navigation. The 1.5-liter 116 HP diesel engine, with common rail direct injection, variable geometry turbo and intercooler, is an example of mechanical efficiency, achieving a combined consumption of 4.3 l/100km and CO2 emissions of 112 g/km, which gives it the DGT's C label. The speed-sensitive electric power steering improves maneuverability in the city and stability on the road. In addition, it has Start-Stop to optimize consumption at stops.
Competition
The 2017 MINI One D Countryman faces tough competition in the premium compact SUV segment. Its main rivals include models such as the Audi Q2, the Mercedes-Benz GLA and the BMW X1, with which it shares a focus on design, quality and a rewarding driving experience. It also competes with more generalist but well-equipped options such as the Volkswagen T-Roc or the SEAT Ateca, which offer excellent value for money. However, the Countryman is distinguished by its unique personality and unmistakable MINI style, which make it a choice for those looking to differentiate themselves.
Conclusion
The 2017 MINI One D Countryman is a car that captivates with its personality and its ability to combine the best of two worlds: the fun of a MINI and the practicality of an SUV. Its design is an eye-catcher, its interior is cozy and well-finished, and its diesel engine offers a perfect balance between performance and efficiency. It is an ideal companion for urban life and weekend getaways, offering a 450-liter trunk and a spacious cabin for five occupants. If you are looking for a car with character, that makes you smile on every journey and that adapts to your active lifestyle, the Countryman is an option that deserves to be seriously considered. It is a car that invites you to live adventures, big or small, with an unparalleled touch of style.
