Overview

The 2018 Mini Countryman Wagon makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact wagon segment. With standalone trims on offer, the Mini Countryman has a base MSRP of $26,600. It competes directly with the Kia Soul Wagon, the Fiat 500L Wagon, and the Subaru Crosstrek SUV. Only a 1.5L Turbo Inline-3 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission as an option. Together, they produce 134 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 8.6 seconds, the Countryman maintains a combined fuel economy of 28 MPG. Mini offers the Countryman in 9 stunning colors, with the British Racing Green Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The packages are a bit heavy on pockets but they do bring some attractive features. We are recommending the Technology Package worth $2,250 for wireless charging, Apple CarPlay support, a bigger touchscreen, and more. You should also consider the Premium Package worth $2,000 which adds power front seats, a Harman Kardon premium sound system, and more. Meanwhile, for $2,000, an all-wheel drive system is also available.
