Overview
The 2013 Mini Countryman Wagon is a subcompact wagon offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $22,000. For that price, it mainly competes with the Kia Soul Wagon and the Nissan Cube Wagon. Between 2 trims, the Countryman offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 1.6L Inline-4 capable of making 121 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 181 horsepower-making 1.6L Turbo Inline-4 engine. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed manual transmission by default. However, a 6-speed automatic transmission is also on offer as an option. The Countryman reaches 60 mph from zero in 9.8 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 7.0 seconds with the 1.6L Turbo Inline-4 engine. Depending on the powertrain and drivetrain, the Countryman can manage a combined fuel economy between 26 and 30 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 10 striking colors the Countryman comes in really pull you towards itself.
