As the largest member of the MINI family for its generation, it offers the elevated ride height of a crossover while maintaining the iconic styling and 'go-kart' handling that defines the brand. It is the ideal choice for those who want a vehicle with a big personality that can still handle a weekend camping trip or a grocery haul with ease.Under the hood, the Countryman Cooper is powered by a reliable 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine producing 121 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque. This engine is designed for efficiency and steady performance, paired with either a precise 6-speed manual or a 6-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. While it prioritizes a smooth and economical drive, it still retains enough pep to make urban navigating and winding backroads genuinely enjoyable.The driving experience is surprisingly agile for a crossover. By pushing the wheels to the absolute corners of the chassis, MINI ensured that the Countryman remains responsive and planted. The MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear axle provide a firm, communicative ride that lets the driver feel connected to the road. Its compact dimensions mean it remains a champion of city parking, while the higher seating position provides excellent outward visibility.On the exterior, the 2016 Countryman features the rugged 'crossover' look with flared wheel arches, roof rails, and a distinctive upright grille. It retains the signature circular headlights and contrasting roof colors that make every MINI unique. The four-door layout and rear liftgate are seamlessly integrated, giving it a muscular yet friendly silhouette that stands out in a sea of standard SUVs.Inside, the cabin is a masterclass in creative design, featuring the famous oversized central speedometer and toggle-switch controls. The interior offers:High-quality Sensatec or available leather upholsteryAmbient lighting package with customizable colorsSliding and reclining rear seats for maximum passenger comfortBluetooth connectivity and steering-wheel-mounted audio controlsPracticality is where the Countryman truly earns its name. It offers a surprising amount of interior volume, with a rear seat that can slide forward to increase cargo space or backward to provide executive-level legroom. With the rear seats folded flat, you get a generous 42.2 cubic feet of cargo space, and the low load floor makes it easy to pack in heavy gear or large pets.Fuel economy is a strong suit for this naturally aspirated engine, achieving an efficient 27 MPG city / 34 MPG highway. This makes it an excellent choice for daily commuters who want to keep fuel costs low without sacrificing the fun and prestige of driving a premium European hatchback.Safety is built into the foundation, with the 2016 Countryman earning high marks for its rigid body structure. It comes standard with seven airbags, Electronic Stability Control, and a tire pressure monitoring system. The high-strength steel frame and advanced braking systems ensure that both the driver and passengers are well-protected on every journey.The 2016 MINI Countryman Cooper is the quintessential 'all-rounder' for the MINI enthusiast. It is the perfect choice for the driver who wants the style, character, and agility of a MINI, but needs the four-door practicality and ground clearance to take on life's bigger adventures.Rugged.
