Why buy a used MINI Countryman?

If you're in the market for the classic MINI style and driving experience but need the practicality of an SUV, then a used MINI Countryman is a great choice. It's the brand's most practical offering, and there are even four-wheel drive and plug-in hybrid variants to choose from.

Different generations of used MINI Countryman

BMW first released their version of the MINI Countryman in 2010 and it has been through several facelifts along the way, with the newest promising an all-electric powertrain coming soon. Over each generation, MINI has focused on creating a more stylish ride with the latest powertrain and technology, making it a competitive choice.

Third Generation (2024 to Present)

With the start of the latest generation, the Countryman lineup will be splitting into two different variants, one using an ICE variant and the other relying on electric power. The all-electric MINI will be released later than the ICE variant.

These MINIs have new headlight designs and a thicker grille (on the ICE version) to cool down the engine. Both can be seen with a silver plastic trim under the bumper, meant to resemble a skid plate.

Second Generation (2017 to 2023)

Officially the largest MINI on the roads at the time, its popularity grew quickly. Design changes to the second generation didn't affect the MINI branding. Instead, the roof was mildly extended and an all-wheel system (ALL4) was added for more capability. Inside the cabin, the design was also reminiscent of the smaller MINIs, but sliding and reclining seats were added to the back for even more comfort.

A 2020 facelift brought standard LED headlights and an available adaptive headlight system. A redesigned rear apron made the new LED taillights stand out.

First Generation (2010 to 2016)

MINI took the Cooper and turned it into a Countryman by extending the width, height and length. What resulted was a near-perfect 50/50 distribution between the front and rear for a crossover that handled well on curvy roads.

A 2014 update offered black-moulded wheel-arches to give it an off-road appeal. Tailgate changes were made so that it would be more vertical and curved.
