Overview

Written by automotive expert Christian Wardlaw

3/24/2026

Redesigned for 2025, the Mini Countryman is a compact crossover SUV with five-person seating. Positioned as an alternative to entry-luxury SUVs, the Countryman has a quirky and colorful personality, inside and out, and turbocharged engines supply speedy acceleration. In addition, an electric version offers gas-free driving and a modest 212 miles of estimated range. The new-and-improved 2025 Countryman is larger than the model it replaces, making it more comfortable and capable of carrying cargo. However, based on our initial impressions, it isn't as fun to drive.

Edmunds spotlight: About the Countryman's new tech

Mini advances the Countryman's technology on two fronts. The first concerns the infotainment system, housed in a circular center touchscreen that mimics the oversized speedometers found in old Minis. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, Spotify is built-in, and the digital voice assistant is a British dog named Spike (you can change that). You can even use AirConsole technology to transform your smartphone into a video game controller and play on the center display. The second front is the SUV's safety tech, which is more refined overall and now includes a hands-free driving assistance feature that works at speeds under 37 mph.

Competitors to consider

Mini prices and positions the Countryman as an alternative to typical entry-level luxury crossover SUVs. Primary rivals include the Audi Q3 and electric Q4 E-tron, the Mercedes-Benz GLB and electric EQB, and the Volvo XC40 and electric EX40. The performance-oriented John Cooper Works competes in a more rarefied market, counting the BMW X1 M35i and Mercedes-AMG GLB 35 as its main competitors.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Reese Counts

Average

6.1

out of 10

We drove the 2025 MINI Countryman on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

6.8/10

How does the MINI Countryman drive? The Countryman's driving experience is a mixed bag of very good, average and not so great. Starting with its strong suits, we like the Countryman's sporty performance. Our Countryman S All4 test vehicle sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds at our test track. That's among the quickest extra-small SUVs we've tested. The brakes are strong for emergency stops, and the Countryman handles curves with confidence.

We're less thrilled with the Countryman's everyday drivability, however. In routine driving, it can be slow to respond or downshift when you push on the gas. Selecting a sportier drive mode makes the Mini too jumpy. Also, the Countryman has a firm ride, meaning you're going to feel every bump and rut on the road.

We do like the Countryman's advanced driver aids. Features like the blind-spot warning and lane keeping system worked well in our testing and weren't overly intrusive. When the car is left to its own devices on the highway, it can travel along for miles without any hiccups.

Comfort

5.9/10

How comfortable is the MINI Countryman? Interior comfort is good in Mini's largest model. Getting in and out of the Countryman is no problem, as headroom and legroom are plentiful. The cabin is insulated well from road and wind noise. The seats feel a bit firm, especially on longer drives — we'd like them to have more padding. That said, the Mini's door opening is large for its size, so installing a car seat in the back seat isn't too much trouble.

Mini has also worked to give the Countryman a distinctive look and feel. The center touchscreen is a circle, for example, and there's a twistable key-like control for the engine start rather than a push-button, as there is on most other cars. But that funky circular screen isn't very usable. Doing something simple, such as adjusting the climate settings, is an annoying multi-step process on the touchscreen that could be much easier if Mini just used regular physical buttons.

In-cabin tech

7.8/10

How’s the tech? Overall, tech features are excellent, but usability is a concern. The circular center touchscreen is distinctive and has sharp-looking graphics, and tech features are plentiful. But the circular design just doesn't integrate well with features originally meant to display as rectangles. For example, if you connect your phone using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, the resulting display interface gets shrunk down to a small square that has to fit inside the circle.

Storage & cargo

4.1/10

How’s storage and cargo? There's decent cargo space in the Countryman considering its size as an extra-small luxury SUV. The cargo area is taller and wider than that of some similar cars, making the Mini a better choice for large suitcases on a trip. There's even some useful underfloor storage in the cargo area for seldom-used items. But its small-item storage is a problem. The center console is laughably tiny, and there isn't a good place anywhere else for larger items.

Value

7.8/10

Is the MINI Countryman a good value? The Mini Countryman S is a good value is you compare it to luxury rivals from BMW or Mercedes-Benz. It's powerful and offers most of the same premium features but for less money. Its distinctive, well-crafted interior also helps set it apart from Mini's more traditional-looking rivals. Build quality is good overall, with a nice selection of high-grade materials on the inside. The Countryman also offers a wide array of customization options, which aren't usually found at this price range. The four-year/50,000-mile warranty is average for the class.

MPG

5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The all-wheel-drive Countryman S All4, which is what we tested, gets an EPA-estimated 27 mpg in combined city/highway driving. That's average for this size SUV and in line with the fuel economy of rivals like the Acura ADX or Mercedes-Benz GLA.

X factor

7/10

The Mini Countryman's personality comes about through its distinctive styling and Mini-specific design elements such as the signature circular-shaped infotainment screen. If you want an extra-small SUV that isn't like everything else, you'll like the Countryman.

2025 MINI Countryman trim level differences

The 2025 Mini Countryman is a compact five-passenger crossover SUV that comes in S All4, SE All4 and John Cooper Works (JCW) All4 trim levels. In addition, you can choose from Signature Plus and Iconic equipment packages and a Classic Style or Favoured Style exterior appearance package. Compare the 2025 MINI Countryman trim levels in-depth.

Which Countryman trim does Edmunds recommend?

Unless you want the electric version of the new Countryman, we recommend the S All4 trim level with the Iconic equipment and Favoured Style appearance packages. The drivetrain offers standard all-wheel drive with good acceleration, and the upgrade packages unlock appealing features and a more expressive look. Consider getting the adaptive suspension option for improved ride and handling qualities.
