5 reasons to buy the 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman

1. Mini’s distinctive styling 

Everyone knows a Mini when they see it. If you’ve always liked the chic British styling that the Mini evokes, you’ll appreciate the 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman. The 2014 Countryman is available with white mirrors and roof, which is bold against the body color. Available options like racing stripes, unique exterior graphics, and interior checkered detailing add to the Mini’s flair.  

2. More passenger space 

The 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman is a Mini that isn’t quite as small as its cousins, making it more practical for families. The 2014 Countryman has nearly 34 inches of legroom in the back, and just over 40 inches up front. On longer road trips or quick work lunches, no one will mind riding with you.  

3. Flexible cargo solutions 

The 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman is able to keep up with your active lifestyle thanks to flexible cargo options. The Countryman has 16.5 cu-ft of cargo space when the rear seats are up, but more than 42 cu-ft when they’re folded flat. The standard 40/60 split on the rear bench allows you to balance cargo and passenger space. Standard roof rails and rear bike rack mountings make the 2014 Countryman suitable for a weekend of kayaking, hiking, or biking.  

4. All wheel drive 

Snowy or icy commutes–to work or to the ski mountain–are no problem in the 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman. All-wheel drive comes standard on the John Cooper Works trim. Pair that with available heated seats, and you’ll be ready for winter.  

5. Lots of available options 

With the 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman, it’s easy to find the right car for you thanks to available stand-alone options and packages. You can find a 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman with available sports suspension, for example. Or, if you’re a music enthusiast, choose the available 10-speaker Harman Kardon® audio system.
