The Mini Countryman is Mini 's take on the family car, a compact crossover with bold design both inside and out.

The previous Countryman was available with the brand's only plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Mini now only offers the Countryman with either an internal combustion engine or as a full battery electric vehicle.

The Countryman SE is a fair bit more expensive now, starting at $ 45,200 .
