When MINI launched the Countryman, a lot of people claimed that it had no business wearing the world famous winged logo on the bonnet and that is was more of a BMW than a British car.
However, crossovers are taking over the market. They come almost in every size you can think of and you can get one with 3 rows of seats, AWD or even manual transmission, as long as you prefer it that way.
So, in case you're looking for a funky compact crossover priced at around USD20,000 with fuel economy as a main concern, look no further than the MINI Countryman.
The base price is USD22,895 and will get you a 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder engine that develops 122 HP and 114 lb-ft (154 Nm) of torque. But at the same time, you'll get that MINI driving experience and a fuel consumption of 28 mpg city and 35 highway making the average consumption 31 mpg (7.5 l/100km).
Compared to its closest competitors, the Nissan Juke and Mitsubishi Outlander, the MINI will also bring something else to the table: a premium experience. That's something no other competitor brings with such a price tag.
So, there you have it! For around USD20,000 that's your best choice in the crossover segment, according to us. Of course, if you think otherwise, please let us know in the comments section, below!
