2023 MINI Countryman Trims Comparison

Cooper
The base Countryman Cooper features a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine (134 horsepower, 162 lb-ft of torque) powering the front wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Choose the optional all-wheel-drive system (Mini calls it All4), and the Cooper trades the dual-clutch for an eight-speed automatic. Note that Mini discontinued this model midway through the 2023 model year.

Cooper S
For satisfying acceleration, select the Cooper S model. It adds more power and torque thanks to its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (189 hp, 207 lb-ft), which pairs with either a dual-clutch automatic in front-wheel-drive models or an eight-speed automatic with all-wheel drive.

Cooper SE All4
The Cooper SE All4 is the plug-in hybrid version of the Countryman. It uses the Cooper's turbocharged three-cylinder gasoline engine to power the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Separately, a battery pack feeds an electric motor to power the rear wheels. This setup produces a combined 221 hp and gives this version of the Countryman all-wheel drive when both forms of propulsion are active. The EPA estimates that it can go about 17 miles on a full charge.

John Cooper Works
The Countryman JCW is tuned for rousing performance. It uses Mini's most powerful engine, a turbocharged four-cylinder making 301 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque, and delivers the motive force to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. In addition to a sport suspension, the JCW gets unique design details and sport-bolstered seats.

From those models, you can select from the Classic, Signature and Iconic.
