It can be said that it uses “MINI-malism” technology.
Performance
Mini Coopers have always been a joy to drive. The Countryman ALL4 is no exception. It handles very well on all types of road surfaces. With the manual transmission version, it can do 0 – 60 mph in 11.9 seconds.
The automatic version is 0.2 seconds slower. It can hit a high speed of 114 mph and has extra grip, especially on winding roads. With the new all-wheel-drive system, the driver has control over any type of surface including snow and other slippery conditions.
Exterior
The Countryman is slightly larger as compared to other Mini models. It still has a very compact exterior and is eye-catching on the road. The ALL4’s exterior has been upgraded to suit its off-road capabilities. It is much lighter than the standard Countryman.
This particular Countryman Cooper ALL4 fashions dark matte black body and a mean looking paint-job.
Interior
As for the interior, little has changed; it still is the same as the standard Countryman. Mini made a special edition in celebration of the Dakar Rally Winner.
