Buy Used Mini SUV Models

Mini is a brand that prides itself on making small and fun cars, so the idea of a Mini Cooper SUV may seem a bit strange. Though small hatchback-style cars have fallen out of favor in the US, Mini still manages to move a decent number of units in various styles. One of these is the 4-door Countryman, which qualifies as a subcompact SUV or crossover. Promising similar levels of fun to the traditional Hardtop, it also boasts BMW-intrinsic quality and now improved practicality.

FAQs

What is the best Mini Cooper SUV?

Though the Countryman is currently the only model that classifies as an SUV, it is offered in a variety of trims and configurations. The John Cooper Works Version is unarguably the best, as it still gives you the same increase in cabin and trunk space of the Countryman body style, but it also dials up the power with a spunkier turbo-four engine that makes the car a true joy to drive.

How much cargo space is there in a Mini Cooper SUV?

Far from class-leading by any stretch of the imagination, the Mini Cooper Countryman supplies 17.6 cubic feet of trunk space, which is reduced to 17.2 cubes in the PHEV model.

What is the price of a new Mini Cooper SUV?

The brand isn’t on the cheap end of the spectrum, and buyers pay premium prices. Since the Countryman is bigger than the regular Hardtop, you can expect the cost to grow proportionally. The base Cooper version starts in the mid-$30k range and climbs higher for the Cooper S version with all the bells and whistles. Meanwhile, the Plug-in Hybrid and John Cooper Works models will cost you between $43k and $47k before options.

How reliable are Mini Cooper SUVs?

Overall, Mini has an average reliability rating. The cost of maintenance and repairs is quite high, too, so the average warranty plan is somewhat disappointing.
