MINI Countryman F60 Cooper JCW Trim - Long-range vehicle

Is a MINI Countryman a long distance vehicle? If one asks the question whether this automobile is also suitable for longer highway stages, one has to consider different aspects, comfort, tank volume, top speed...

An important criterion for frequent drivers: the top speed. This is 205 km/h and is thus quite suitable for long distances if you don't want to permanently stay above the 200 mark. At least as important on long journeys is the comfort and interior space. With a length of 4297 mm, the car ranks among the compacts. Depending on the equipment, you will find quite comfortable companions in a MINI Countryman.

The integrated distance cruise control ensures both safe and relaxed travel by automatically maintaining both the speed and the distance to the vehicle in front. Of course, air conditioning is a must for comfortable journeys. Here, even an automatic air conditioning system is installed, i.e. the air volume and temperature is automatically adjusted to the interior temperature, while a simple air conditioning system has to be operated manually. In unclear parking situations, the built-in rear view camera helps to avoid accidents.

The MINI Countryman achieves decent ranges thanks to its moderate average consumption, but as a compact-class vehicle it is often deprived of comfort features such as comfortable seats suitable for long journeys and appropriate noise insulation. Be sure to check possible additional options. Therefore, a limited recommendation for frequent drivers.
