In this episode I pit the new 2024 MINI Countryman U25 against my 2021 MINI Countryman F60. How has the Countryman changed and is it worth upgrading from the second to the third generation?
The new 2024 MINI Countryman U25 is bigger than its predecessor, but somehow more minimalist than the second generation F60 model. Even in the 300 hp John Cooper Works version.
This 2021 MINI Countryman F60 LCI is one of two cars I drive daily, when not reviewing other vehicles. MINI Countryman is an SUV or a crossover on the UKL2 platform, the same which underpins the BMW 1, 2, 2 Active and Grand Tourer, X1, X2, MINI Clubman, and a Chinese crossover called the Zinoro 60H - produced by the BMW Brilliance joint venture.
And now let’s compare the two not so small MINIs.
We will look at the exterior design, cargo compartment, rear space, cockpit, handling and off-road characteristics.
