  • As the #Mini brand’s first SUV, the new 2025 #MiniCountryman is a critical model towards the success of Mini in the US. For this new generation, the #CountrymanS grows in size, power, and technology and just like its predecessor, continues to borrow heavily from the recently redesigned BMW X1. It’s a massive improvement over the old model and shouldn’t be overlooked in the premium compact SUV with tons of character.

    I actually really like this interior. It's different without being ugly, and the screen is cool. Having climate controls in the screen is a bad idea, though. It's like modern car interiors are designed to be distracting.

    Honestly, they almost had no choice but to upsize this vehicle. Size is too important in the market atm, and they need SOMETHING to access the massive customer base, but provide something different and fun. In a way just think of it as their version of a 3 row, by comparison its small despite being their largest vehicle ever

    I like the size of this one.
    I like front lights but not the mess in back. Moving around so much.
    I really don’t like they took away the instrument cluster, but like someone said
    does like a Tesla.
    Because this same vehicle that is electric starts at over $79,899.00 in Canada just
    to start.
    And this one is at $51,999.00 to will over $69,999.00 for the JCW before taxes here in
    Canada. I heard they’re selling but I’m not buying one way to expensive for my bank account.
    And in Canada, they’re not giving Rebates for EV anymore here on most EV so not so many people
    even want any of type of EV here because of just that.
    And also in different location all over Canada, we just don’t have any or a lot of charging stations
    at all then you have to charge only at home.
    And if you live in a condominium or a apartment building they don’t allow any charging what so ever
    here. So that is totally out.
    And a lot of people cannot afford to buy any type of houses here because they start at over
    $ 1 million dollars in Toronto and in other parts of our country and up just to be able to have
    a EV parked in there driveway here to drive.
    Most people that have Mini’s are keeping their older ones, or buying used one at least in
    Toronto, anyways.
    This nice on the outside but I think they went backwards in their thinking and the style inside of
    this brand new Mini Countryman S.

They ripped out everything that makes a MINI a MINI and we're left with a soulless monstrosity.

    For a change, an interior on a modern car that isn't boring and overdone. If I had one of these, I'd go with Timeless as it looks so classy. But, ultimately, I won't be getting one. Too much $$$ for me.
    Having said what I did about the design of the interior, I was speaking of the dash. I will have to say that I do not like the blue "fading" into the tan. I would rather it all be the same color.

But it was cumbersome to drive through the parking lots and around corners it felt huge (even though it isn’t ) I was never quite sure where the four corners were, not something that you could whip around in the city. 🫤
