Mini's small-sized SUV launched in early 2011 to try and bring some practicality to the BMW-owned brand.
The Countryman was available in Cooper, Cooper S and Cooper D variants, with the latter two being given the option of all-wheel-drive while the Cooper is relegated to a front-drive layout.
All drivetrains came with the option of a Chilli pack, which added automatic air conditioning, upgraded audio system, sport seats and automatic headlight washers, with other options including Bluetooth and USB connectivity and satellite navigation.
