MINI Countryman F60 Cooper SE Essential Trim ALL4 Steptronic - Terrain

Can the MINI Countryman F60 Cooper SE Essential Trim ALL4 Steptronic also be used off-road? Here usually a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. For real off-road capability it needs more than just an all-wheel drive. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many models that look off-road but have limited capability to do so.

The MINI Countryman has all-wheel drive, which means that the basic requirement is already met. The ground clearance, another important criterion, is 147 mm for this motor vehicle. This is an average value, i.e. dirt roads and slightly uneven terrain are no problem for the automobile.



Rating: The car does have all-wheel drive, but not least the lack of ground clearance indicates that a MINI Countryman is not made for off-road use.
