About the 2026 MINI Countryman
The 2026 MINI Countryman is shaping up to be a fantastic choice if you need a surprisingly practical crossover that still feels fun to drive. It’s small enough (just 175.0 inches long) to navigate city streets without drama, but it still manages to squeeze in seating for five adults. That 37 inches of rear legroom means older kids or friends won't feel cramped on longer trips. With 241 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque across the trims, the Countryman isn't slow, and the standard All-Wheel Drive is great for handling unpredictable weather. Plus, with an EPA estimate of 27 MPG combined, it keeps running costs reasonable for a daily driver that offers this much utility.
