The cult mini countryman has been subjected to insignificant restyling in the fall of 2012. In this review, we will recall the overall sizes of the body and clearance, we are looking for changes in the design of appearance and the cabin, we will estimate new colors that admire the patterns of the wheels, we estimate the technical characteristics and consumption of fuel, talk about prices for the new mini Countryman of 2013 in Russia.

The British crossover is produced from 2010 and in two years old managed to earn a reputation albeit an expensive, but stylish and convenient car with the ability to select the engine, gearbox and type of drive.

The appearance of the tested "British" can cause a lot of disputes and curvators, a car likes one motorists and do not like others. As they say: "There is no taste and color of comrades," but ... "Countryman" (this is translated the model name) looks first original and stylish, and secondly, in full compliance with the family similarity with all MINI cars. After restyling, the new mini cranisen received a different design of the front of the body, the changes are minimal. There was a new cladding of the radiator lattice and the lower air intake, the smaller fog became the fog. We will not describe the appearance of the crossover for a long time, as they say better to see once. Readers will be able to assess the appearance of the car based in the photo gallery and video, located traditionally at the end of the review.

In the second row, by default, a full-fledged sofa, separate chairs can be ordered for extra charge. Threesome will be closely, it is better to settle down in two passengers. Salon is stylish, but ... not cozy, the materials of the finish do not correspond to the status and price of the car. Initial configuration includes ABS, CBS with Brake Assist, DCS dynamic control system, adjustable height steering wheel with electric power, air conditioning (climate control option for 24,500 rubles), Magnittor Mini CD and other little things.

Test Drive Mini Countryman 2013 allows us to talk about wonderful manageability and enviable for many crossovers of coursework stability, but minuses are also present. Hard, short-pointed suspension, insufficient power of the initial gasoline engine, high fuel consumption almost 2 times higher than the manufacturer's data (Cooper S All2 Countryman spends in mixed mode about 13 liters), high cost of the car itself, expensive options and maintenance price.

How much costs in Russia: the renewed crossover mini cantrifer will appear in the spring of 2013. The manufacturer assures that the sale will be made at the price of dorestayling machines.

At the Motor Show in Los Angeles, two thousand sixteenth, the official premiere of the crossover mini countryman 2 generations took place. The new model was noticeably larger than the predecessor and received enough significant changes in both the design plan and technically.

The British brand put a parckot on the conveyor of the VDL group in Holland, where the hatchbacks and the third-generation mini cabriolets also collect. The start of sales of the car in the European market had to be two thousand seventeenth in February, and after the Parocketnik reached Russia.

Exterior

When creating a new mini Countryman 2018, the automaker was necessary to refresh the design of the model, making it more courageous, but without spoiling a branded image. As a result, the development of the appearance was decided to trust the Bavarians, and they coped with the task.

At the front of the attention of the unusual grille with a wave-like pattern and lowered corners, which, together with aggressive lighting, forms an unhappy "face". Also, the muscular hood of the crossover with longitudinal decals should not be noted.

Changes in the dimensions allowed MINI Countryman 2018 in the new body the harmonious model in the British brand line. Southwerry retained relief forms and proportions, while having received more chubby wheeled arches and a stylish "hanging" roof.

Behind the Briton is remembered by compact vertical blocks of lanterns and a massive bumper with two round nozzles of the exhaust system. Another innovation, albeit not so significant, became the right side of the gas tank on the right side.

Note that the new Cooper Countryman received protective overlays of black and silver color in a circle. They are designed to emphasize the wedding character of the machine, but whether the crossover is suitable for riding outside the road roads - this is another question.

Salon

In terms of interior design, MINI Countryman 2018 is largely repeated by the predecessor. The British decided and here to do without fundamental changes, but in general the salon of the second generation model became less than cartoon than before.

The driver has a stylish three-spoke multiple with noticeable tides on the rim. Right behind the "Barank" there is an analog tidy. It is made in the form of two dials concerned on each other, and the upper (speedometer) almost completely overlaps the lower (tachometer).

New Countryman, like other modern representatives of the brand, received a touchscreen display of the multimedia system. The latter was embedded in the Correne Corress in the center of the front panel. The screen size varies from 6.5 to 8.8 inches, while the most accessible versions are equipped with a modest two-color display by 2.7 ".

Interestingly, in the Multimedian Arsenal, the Country Timer program, which, based on data stabilization, fixes the duration and intensity of off-road trips. But the support of popular Android Auto and Apple CarPlay interfaces here is unfortunately not.

Tidder, Multimediyka and some other controls have a bright multi-colored backlight, so that in the dark, the Cranmane salon reminds the spacecraft. A few words should be said about the revised ergonomics: the central lock buttons moved from the center console on the door, and the light control is now on the left of the steering wheel.

An increase in the car's wheelbase also made it possible to make a five-seater salon noticeably spacious. The landing itself became higher, while the free space was added both in the legs and above the head. As before, the second row has a longitudinal adjustment that allows it to shift it forward-back in the range of 130 mm.

(220 nm), and a more expensive version of Cooper S Countryman received a 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit with a Turbocharger Twin Scroll.

MINI COUNTRYMAN 2 2017-2018 Video Test

The Russian office of Mini does its cashier on Countryman crossovers: last third sales of this model accounted for this model! For the year in Russia, 1600 "Countrymen" was sold - more than all "jaguars" combined, for example. To understand, for which the Russians fell in love with a small British five-door, "Motor" for a month settled in his garage bright blue Countryman Cooper S.

Yes, yes, we, of course, know that the bulk of Country sold in Russia is the front-wheel drive versions of One (95 horsepower) or Cooper with a 122-strong atmospheric engine and "machine gun", and not 184-strong all-wheel drive "ess "It seems that the one that went to us. But after all, the real crossover should be only with a full drive! Otherwise, what is the point of it?

Moreover, in such a crossover as Mini Countryman. The ground clearance in the "charged" five-door - modest 149 millimeters, that is, less than some popular C-class sedans in Russia, and the suspension moves are simply microscopic. So if you really don't need a complete drive - take the usual "mini" or version of Clubman: otherwise what to pay such money? For protective body kit made of dark plastic?

A pair of silencers, pseudo-shifts in the rear bumper, "visor" spoiler on the fifth door - Countryman Cooper s looks like a real zabi.

Package for money

Traditionally for mini, many options can be purchased by packages, which is a little more profitable than separately. The cheapest set of additions will cost 30 thousand (it will be a package of electrically regulating and heating), and the most expensive - 188 thousand rubles.

After all, it is worth a small crossover mini completely silent: the base 122-strong version with the "mechanics" in Russia is sold for 995 thousand rubles, and with a "automatic" - almost 80 thousand more expensive. For all-wheel drive Cooper S with a manual transmission, 1.28 million rubles will be asked for 1.28 million rubles, and a minimum of 1.354 million for a version with an automata. And it is necessary to take into account that it will be cars in a rather meager configuration. You will have to pay extra for both bixenon headlights (42 thousand rubles), and for separate climates control (24 thousand), and for large wheels with stripes on the body; For "music", navigation (46 thousand), heating of glasses, mirrors and seats (from 3 to 17 thousand for each item in the list of options) and even for the stabilization system.

What else can you buy for 1.8 million rubles

As a result, the test car, stocked with the options under the strip, received the price tag, which met a figure of 1.782 million rubles - almost half a million more than a basic model. But this is not the limit - we did not have, for example, a panoramic roof for 59 thousand rubles, Harman Kardon audio systems for another 50,000, and sports suspension for 12 thousand. And good, that was not!

Because even with the Mini Countryman Cooper s regular chassis seems crushing hard!

Blue mini crossover with white roof and white discs - stylish thing. And compact - it is not more difficult to park on it than any Hatchback in-class. More precisely, it is even easier: he has short skes and ground clearance a little more than that of small hatch.

To come to terms with the settings of the "Countryman" suspension, left almost a week. At first I was perplexed: is it really so tough? He drove all the cracks, holes and joints then quickly, then slowly, with an empty lounge and passengers. Equally rigidly. Checked the pressure in the tires is normal. At some point, even the crazy thought appeared that on the test car they forgot to remove transportation spacers in the suspension - I heard about such unrequited stories more than once.

But no: "mini" is just very tough, and that's it. Point.

The average fuel consumption recorded during the MINI COUNTRYMAN COOPER S test

Only then I understood the rules for driving on the "Country": it is necessary to pass through all, even the most minor roadless defects. And nothing else. Moreover, for the "road slalom", the British crossover is adapted quite well! Minimal rolls (thanks to tough suspension), rapid reactions to the "short" turns (a little more than two revolutions from the stop until the stop!) Steering and accurate and very effective brakes.

As a result, every trip turned into a game in "Shashechki": trampled all holes on the road - well done. Could not - Ba-Bach! Get the most severe blow on the suspension. I do not exit! In the first week I had two or three times to stop and check the wheels, waiting for the hernia size with a pineapple or a split disk. Then I got used to.

For a good road, the Countryman Cooper S is going "flat" and accurately - in this class it is unlikely to have a car with a similar character of handling.

I got used to toy appearance Mini Countryman Cooper S. It looks like a SUV model on a scale of 1: 1.75 - big wheels, a cheeky face with large headlights and round fiction, swollen bumpers, but at the same time playful blue body painting, white stripes on Hood, white mirrors and white roof cap.

In the cabin - the same story. All rounded and cartoon: Speedometer basin in the middle of the front panel, inside which the LCD display of the multimedia system was fitted, round ventilation system deflectors, the "winged" circle of the climate installation display, the round buttons on the steering wheel, oval pedals and a round tachometer, which makes it right on the steering column. Even the inner handles of the door opening - and they have a semicircular shape. In general, the cubism fans do not like it.

In the MINI Countryman cabin - solid circles and ovals. Not a single spicy face and not a single corner.

The seats also have a rounded shape, and adjustment in height here is made by a round base lever.

On the ceiling - lever, which can be adjusted to the color of the backlight in the cabin (this is the option).

Door opening handles - semicircular. But comfortable.

This is the lever of the windows on the rear doors. Stylish!

The joystick of the multimedia system can be rotated, tilt in different directions and press. On the sides of it - the "Home" and "menu" keys.

On the central tunnel there is a USB connector and AUX input.

On the shells-rails over the central tunnel, different accessories are installed, which can be moved between the front and rear parts of the cabin - for example, a voicemaker, as on a test car.

In the center of the front panel - a huge speeder, which is integrated by the LCD display. There is navigation and access to mobile applications.

Under the climate control unit - "Tubls" windows and a central locking. Under it - buttons for switching on parking sensors and other auxiliary systems.

But despite his frivolous image, Mini Countryman turned out to be quite practical. On the front seats it will be convenient even to the tall drivers - due to the adjustment of the steering wheel along the tilt and departure, and the possibility of setting the seat in height. Rear - also not very closely. Moreover, the rear sofa can be ordered both in a double version - with the "rail-organizer" in the middle and in the traditional, "triple". But you do not have to pay extra for any options: separate rear armchairs are a free option. But in that, and in another case, the seats have longitudinal adjustments and adjusting the angle of the back of the back.

Even the trunk is not at all tiny: 350 liters with raised rear seat backs (more than at C-class hatchbacks), and 1170 liters - with folded. There is a backlight and a 12-volt socket.
