mini countryman news

The latest MINI Countryman has grown up and, well, grown—more space, more tech, and fewer excuses for the back-seat whingers.

Australia gets petrol versions (C, S, JCW) plus a full-electric Countryman, all on BMW’s current small-SUV platform with a slick panoramic display and upgraded driver assists.

Power ranges from an efficient three-cylinder turbo to a punchy JCW, while the EV offers proper daily range rather than “pray-and-coast”.

Headline: roomier, safer, and thriftier, still cheeky in the bends—and yes, pricing nudged upwards accordingly.
