Used 2020 MINI Countryman Wagon Trims Comparison

Powering the front-wheel-drive Cooper is a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine (134 horsepower, 162 lb-ft of torque). The next-level Cooper S has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (189 hp, 207 lb-ft). Both are matched to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is available on both models as the Cooper All4 and Cooper S All4. The eight-speed automatic replaces the seven-speed in the Cooper All4.

The Countryman Cooper, Cooper S and John Cooper Works models are broken into three trim levels: Classic, Signature and Iconic. Features on the Classic trim include LED headlights, roof rails, a panoramic sunroof, keyless ignition, simulated leather upholstery and a six-speaker audio system. The Signature trim primarily adds keyless entry, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control and a power liftgate.

Choosing the Signature trim also opens the door to additional paint choices and upholstery choices as well as optional features such as Apple CarPlay and a head-up display. The Iconic trim includes those upgrades, plus power-adjustable front seats, leather upholstery, and a premium sound system among other upgrades.

You can also get two specialty trims for the Countryman. The John Cooper Works adds a more powerful version of the turbocharged four-cylinder (301 hp, 331 lb-ft). The Countryman JCW comes standard with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic. Unique styling changes, a sport-tuned suspension, aggressively bolstered front seats, wheel-mounted shift paddles, and selectable driving modes separate the JCW from other Countryman variants.

The Cooper S E plug-in hybrid is quite different from the rest of the lineup. A three-cylinder engine drives the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. An electric motor powered by a rechargeable 9.6-kWh (up from last year's 7.6-kWh) battery pack drives the rear wheels. Mini says total combined output for the S E is 221 hp and 284 lb-ft. The all-electric driving range is now an EPA-estimated 18 miles.
