(May 27, 2020) WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J.  — Mini has announced the new 2021 Mini Countryman featuring a newly updated design, along with enhancements in technology and equipment offerings.  Most importantly it retains Mini’s “fun-to-drive” character and expressive design that makes it instantly recognizable as Mini.  As the largest and most versatile member of the Mini model family, the new 2021 Mini Countryman offers individual flair in the hallmark style of the British premium brand.
 


The Mini Countryman has proven itself as an attractive vehicle concept in the premium compact crossover segment, offering a versatile and ample interior with seating for five.  The optional ALL4 all-wheel drive system makes the new Mini Countryman an all-around talent that inspires Mini driving fun, whether on the road in day-to-day traffic, or on long-distance trips, or even when venturing off the beaten path into unsurfaced terrain.
 


The progressive character of the new Mini Countryman is reflected in a range of model variants, from the plug-in hybrid drive Mini Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 to the high performance Mini John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4.  The new Mini Countryman also features new digital Mini Connected services and a range of additional features, options and accessories, including Original Mini Accessories.
 


The new Mini Countryman continues to expand the appeal of the Mini brand to a broader range of customers. Even in its first generation, the Mini Countryman was a pioneer, expanding brand appeal to customers who were looking for a compact cross-over that offered a unique combination of versatility and fun-to-drive with a stylish and expressive design.
 


As Mini’s first model with an exterior length of more than 13 feet, four doors, a large tailgate, five seats and all-wheel drive, the Mini Countryman laid the foundations for the brand’s highly successful advance into the premium compact crossover segment. In the U.S. the Mini Countryman remains one of the brand’s most popular models, accounting for close to 40% of all Minis sold in calendar year 2019. And on a worldwide basis, the Countryman accounts for close to 30% of all new registrations.
 


The launch of the current model generation offers further refinements in areas of space, versatility, functionality and ride comfort.  In addition, the Mini Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 plug-in-hybrid model continues to offer electrified mobility with greater efficiency and fewer emissions.  

The Mini Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 offers a compelling combination of efficiency, hybrid-specific all-wheel drive and the option of purely electric powered driving fun.
 
In addition to the plug-in hybrid variant, the new Mini Countryman variants offer three gasoline engines featuring the latest Mini TwinPower Turbo Technology. The engines have seen extensive further development and cover an output spectrum ranging from 134 hp to 301 hp.
