Overview
The 2019 MINI Countryman makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact wagon class. With three trims on offer, the MINI Countryman has a base MSRP of $26,900, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $37,900, with no direct competition whatsoever. The indirect rivals for the MINI include the BMW X1, the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250, and the Buick Encore. Only a 1.5L turbocharged Inline-3 engine is offered, mated to a 6 speed manual transmission. Together, they produce 134 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 7.2 seconds, the Countryman maintains a combined fuel economy of 26 MPG. MINI offers the Countryman in 9 stunning colors, with the Island Blue being a particular favorite of ours.
