2015 MINI Cooper Countryman vs. Its Competition

2015 MINI Cooper Countryman
John Voelcker John Voelcker

The 2015 MINI Countryman may be small, but its premium price puts it into competition with a number of larger vehicles.

The more powerful BMW X1 is almost as compact--with a cramped back seat--but is based on a rear-wheel-drive platform with the associated handling qualities.

The Range Rover Evoque is larger, pricier, and prettier--and offers more real luxury features.

Neither the Acura RDX nor the Volkswagen Tiguan, which may be closer on paper to what the Countryman offers, have anything like the MINI personality and character--but they do offer more volume for people and goods.

Quick Specs
8.0
The mildly updated 2015 MINI Countryman is a versatile compact crossover, one of the smallest on the market, that maintains MINI's character and fun-to-drive spirit.
7.8
A sporty yet smooth driving feel, quiet interior, and top-tier safety all add up to a lot of appeal for the 2015 Acura RDX, although its lack of features and flair stop it short of greatness.
7.6
The 2015 BMW X1 runs a little short on versatility, but it's big on style and enthusiasm.
8.2
The 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque tones down the off-road chops of its older siblings and turns up the design, creating a stylish carlike utility in the process.
7.0
The 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan delivers on all of the important small-crossover promises, although it's not as exciting as some other VWs.
