Detailed analysis of the MINI Cooper D Countryman · 150 CV (2016-2018)
General description
The 2017 MINI Cooper D Countryman is a bold and distinctive proposition in the compact SUV segment. With its unmistakable MINI style, this model presents itself as an option for those looking for a car with personality, capable of combining urban agility with surprising versatility for getaways. Its 150 hp diesel engine promises efficiency and adequate performance for daily use and long journeys, maintaining the fun essence that characterizes the brand.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the MINI Cooper D Countryman, the feeling is one of control and dynamism. Despite its size, it inherits some of the agility of its smaller siblings, offering precise steering and a suspension that, without being excessively hard, inspires confidence in curves. The 150 hp diesel engine responds forcefully from low revolutions, thanks to its 330 Nm of torque, which facilitates overtakes and road driving. The 6-speed manual gearbox is smooth and precise, contributing to a rewarding driving experience. The combined cycle consumption of 4.3 l/100km is a strong point, making this Countryman an efficient companion for any adventure.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the MINI Cooper D Countryman is unmistakably MINI, but with a more robust and adventurous presence. Its 4299 mm length and 1822 mm width give it an imposing stance, while the characteristic details of the brand, such as the round headlights and the hexagonal grille, adapt to its SUV format. The interior, with capacity for five occupants, maintains MINI's fun and functional aesthetic, with quality materials and an intuitive arrangement of controls. The habitability is good for its segment, and the 450-liter trunk offers enough space for a family's luggage.
Technology and features
In the technology section, the 2017 MINI Cooper D Countryman incorporates elements that improve the driving experience and comfort. Although it is not an electric car, its common rail direct injection diesel engine, turbo with variable geometry and intercooler, is an example of mechanical efficiency. It has a Stop/Start system to optimize consumption in the city. Speed-sensitive electric power steering and independent suspension on both axles (McPherson front and deformable parallelogram rear) ensure dynamic and safe behavior. Ventilated front disc brakes and rear discs guarantee effective braking. Although specific infotainment or driving assistance systems are not detailed, the technological base is solid for a car of its year.
Competition
The MINI Cooper D Countryman competes in a very crowded segment of premium compact SUVs. Its main rivals include models such as the Audi Q2, the BMW X1, the Mercedes-Benz GLA, and the Volvo XC40. Compared to them, the Countryman stands out for its distinctive design and its more playful character. It offers an alternative with a more emotional approach and a driving experience that, while not as sporty as that of a three-door MINI, is still more agile than many of its SUV competitors. Its price of €30,450 places it in the mid-to-high end of its category, justifying its premium positioning and equipment.
Conclusion
The 2017 MINI Cooper D Countryman is an excellent choice for those looking for a compact SUV with a strong component of style and personality. It combines the practicality of a family vehicle with the fun and charisma of the MINI brand. Its diesel engine is efficient and powerful, ideal for daily use and travel, while its interior and exterior design distinguish it from the competition. It is a car that not only fulfills its function but also evokes emotions and offers a rewarding driving experience. A highly recommended option for those who value aesthetics and dynamism in a more versatile format.
