2024 Mini Cooper Countryman
Compared to Mini’s more petite models, the Countryman SUV looks downright plus-sized. While it’s the brand’s biggest model, it’s still considered a small SUV even if the new 2024 Countryman features a more spacious interior than before. The new Countryman stays true to Mini’s traditional styling cues but its freshened styling is updated for the modern era. The interior is more modern too, with sustainable materials, a fabric-trimmed dashboard, a circular infotainment display, and simplified controls.

Mini’s cheeky design theme continues into the Countryman’s interior. A fabric panel covers most of the dashboard and cleverly hides LED lighting elements that illuminate on startup and change color and shape depending on which drive mode you select. Finishings are playful but premium and secondary controls are kept to a minimum. Passenger space is generous in the front seat and adults of all sizes will have no trouble getting comfortable. The rear seat is less roomy, but still far more spacious than what you’ll find in the brand’s Cooper hatchback, and all but the tallest individuals will be fine for road-tripping from the second row.
All 2024 Countryman models come with a cool 9.4-inch circular infotainment display. This OLED panel is high-definition and glossy, and the interface—Mini’s latest operating system 9—offers some unique features such as the ability to upload your own photos to use as a background. There are plenty of other customization features too, and in-dash navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an on-board Wi-Fi hotspot are all standard.

While all Countryman models will come with driver-assistance features such as automated emergency braking and lane-keeping assist, if you want to access adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering feature you’ll need to spring for the Driving Assistant Plus package.
