Whether it’s to comfortably seat three adults or add some litres to the already sizeable boot space, the foldable back seats offer endless possibilities. Move them backwards for up to 13 centimetres of extra legroom, fold them down in a 40/20/40 split or take advantage of longitudinal adjustment of seats (60/40 split) – here are just a few of the options you have to create the desired space for your friends, things or both.

If your hands are full or you don’t want to put what you’re carrying down on the ground, the optional hands-free Easy Opener* function can give you a helpful hand while loading your luggage into your MINI Countryman’s spacious boot. Simply kick your foot under the rear sill and the boot door opens automatically. A second kick and it closes again. Just imagine how helpful that would be if you have kids, pets or bulky shopping in your arms. *Available with the Comfort Access system. ^***

When the sun is not shining bright outside your window, MINI Countryman will boost your mood with the subtle, warm glow, courtesy of the backlit cockpit fascia that assumes the colour of the interior ambient light.

Whether you're parked, starting off a hill or driving in stop-and-go traffic, with the electric parking brake your MINI never rolls when you don't want it to. Engage or release it with a simple push of a button.

In the MINI Countryman you’ll always want to make the perfect entrance. MINI Park Assist sizes up available parking spaces before taking charge of the wheel to make short work of tight spots. All you have to do is apply a little throttle and the brakes.

Always know what's coming with MINI's optional Driving Assistant package. The Forward Collision Warning system helps prevent accidents by warning you if the speed difference between your MINI and the traffic ahead is too high, or if the car in front is getting too close. It pre-conditions the brakes for faster response and shorter stopping distances should the need suddenly arise. The City Collision Mitigation system pre-empts sudden changes in urban traffic speed and slows down the car accordingly. Even if you’re momentarily distracted, the new MINI never is.

MINI Countryman has been awarded the top 5-star rating for its superior level of safety in the Euro NCAP crash tests. The stringent, internationally established procedure recognises MINI Countryman’s outstanding performance in testing that is divided into occupant and pedestrian protection as well as supporting safety systems.

With the optional touch screen, you can control your phone, navigation, multimedia and other functions with the touch of your finger.^***
