The Mini Countryman has been a solid success for the brand and is second only to the iconic Mini Cooper. It is already showing strong performance this year with 553 Countryman vehicles sold up until the end of March 2025.
While it’s not the top-selling model in its segment, the Countryman proves a popular choice with buyers at the luxury end of the scale and holds its own against the likes of the Mercedes-Benz GLA and Lexus LBX.
Like what you see? Here's everything you need to know to buy the Mini Countryman that is right for you!
How much is the Mini Countryman?
There are five variants in total of the Mini Countryman – and it is available in both petrol and electric forms, with a variety of trim levels too.
The range starts at $49,990 for the base Countryman C Core that has a 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine (producing 115kW/230Nm) with power sent to the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
At the top of the line-up, the electric all-wheel-drive Countryman SE JCW Sport has a price tag of $77,990 and uses dual electric motors, one on each axle, and a 63.8kWh battery (making for outputs of 230kW/494Nm) providing a claimed WLTP driving range of 433km.
All variants cost less than our $50K cap and were therefore eligible.
The entry-level Countryman C Core comes with features such as a 9.4-inch round OLED infotainment touchscreen, wired and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, heated sports steering wheel, front and rear parking sensors, a power-operated tailgate (with kick-to-open function), and 18-inch ‘Asteroid’ six-spoke wheels, to name a few.
The Mini Countryman is supported by Mini's five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.

What colours is it available in?
There's an extensive range of colours available for the luxury SUV, hundreds in fact.
There are four standard colours for just the Core trim alone – Nanuq White, Midnight Black II, Chili Red II, and Blazing Blue – plus another 14 configurable options.
And you can customise the roof and mirrors as well as the stripes on the bonnet too.
Inside there’s a choice of two interior options, Vescin leather/Cloth combination in Black/Blue or Grey/Blue.
The next level Classic trim adds Melting Silver III, British Racing Green IV, and Slate Blue, as well as 26 configurable colours, but keeps the same interior upholstery options.
The top-spec Favoured gets the same colours, plus Smokey Green and Indigo Sunset Blue, as well as 34 configurable paints.
Inside buyers can choose between three pure Vescin leather interior options – Beige, Dark Petrol and Vintage Brown.
Which variant do we recommend?
The Drive judges recommend the electric Mini Countryman SE Favoured AWD, the second-from-top variant, which starts at $75,990 plus on-roads. This model combines 230kW/494Nm twin motors and a 63.8kWh battery providing a claimed WLTP driving range of 433km.
All for no extra cost, we recommend adding a few options, British Racing Green paint, a silver roof, Kaleido 19-inch wheels, and the Vescin leather Vintage Brown interior.
