The MINI Countryman D stands out as the all-rounder of the new MINI family: agile in the city, comfortable across the countryside, and offering noticeably more interior space. With its efficient two-liter four-cylinder diesel engine, the MINI Countryman D adds another compelling option to the lineup, alongside the existing electric and gasoline engine choices.
Efficient Diesel Drive
The MINI Countryman D features an advanced diesel engine integrated with 48-volt mild hybrid technology. This system recovers braking energy and supports the twin power motor with an additional 14 kW of electric drive power. The result is a responsive performance at low engine speeds and exceptional efficiency. The diesel engine offers:
- Combined Fuel Consumption: 4.9 — 4.6 l/100 km
- Combined CO2 Emissions: 127 — 120 g/km (WLTP)
- Output: 120 kW/163 hp
- 0 to 100 km/h Acceleration: 8.5 seconds
Direct steering and the combination of a single-joint McPherson strut front axle and multi-link rear axle ensure the brand-typical go-kart feeling.
Purist Design and Individual Expression
The MINI Countryman D’s design emphasizes essential simplicity, with four trim variants available: Essential, Classic, Favoured, and John Cooper Works. In Favoured Trim and Midnight Black metallic, the Countryman D makes a bold statement with its wide and upright stance. The octagonal front grille in vibrant silver, paired with distinctive MINI LED headlamps, contributes to its strong visual appeal. Short overhangs underline the vehicle’s agility, contrasted by an elegantly stretched roof. Standard piano black roof rails enhance transport options, while light alloy wheels are available in sizes ranging from 17 to 21 inches.
Spacious Interior with Innovative Technologies
The increased dimensions of the MINI Countryman D’s body enhance comfort. The driver and passenger benefit from an additional three centimeters of width in the shoulder and elbow areas. The rear seat, which can be moved up to 13 centimeters, offers either additional legroom or more cargo space. The trunk volume ranges from 450 liters to up to 1460 liters, thanks to the rear seat back that folds down in a 40:20:40 ratio.
New textile surfaces on the dashboard and interior door panels create a homely feel. The interior design’s generous, reduced aesthetics are enhanced by the Panaroma glass roof, providing additional brightness and all-round visibility.
Advanced Cockpit Features
The MINI Countryman D’s cockpit features a round OLED display with a diameter of 240 mm, serving as the central instrument for infotainment and assistance systems. Controls are conveniently managed via touch or voice commands, with driving functions operated through the characteristic MINI toggle switch strip.
Immersive Driving Experience
The MINI Experience Modes offer an immersive driving experience, combining visual design, ambient lighting, and innovative sound design. For the first time, Driving Assistant Plus provides the option for partially automated Level 2 driving on motorway-like routes, allowing hands-free driving up to 60 km/h while maintaining close monitoring of traffic.
The MINI Countryman D continues to embody the spirit of versatility, combining performance, design, and innovative technology to meet the diverse needs of its drivers.
