The Mini Countryman Thread

New, SA-bound Mini Countryman range expands with petrol-powered ‘S’ model

The new Mini Countryman has already shown us its green side with the battery-powered SE model as well as its dark side with the JCW, and now it’s time to meet what could be the most popular version.

As the second petrol-powered version of the new compact SUV range to be revealed, Countryman S All4 will also form part of the South African line-up that’s due to launch from the second quarter of 2024, Mini SA has confirmed.

Like the JCW version, the new Countryman S uses a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbopetrol engine, only in a much milder state of tune than the former, with 160kW and 360Nm of torque on offer.

Mini’s All4 all-wheel drive system distributes power between the front and rear axles as needed and those seeking an even sharper driving experience can opt for an adaptive chassis with frequency-selective shocks and the ability to lower by 15mm.

 
Mini Countryman (2024) Price & Specs

The all-new Mini Countryman is on its way to South Africa and we’ve uncovered pricing, specifications and engine details ahead of its showroom debut.

Underpinned by an enhanced and updated version of the Group’s UKL platform, the 3rd-generation Countryman is said to be the biggest and most advanced yet. It’s just over 4.4 metres long, almost 2 metres wide and the design is radical and almost concept-like.
