2023 MINI Countryman

While the 2023 Mini Cooper S Countryman’s lofty price tag makes more sense after extensive seat time with it, it isn't exactly a slam dunk.

An increasing number of vehicles with sticker prices of $40,000 or less, some much less, offer heated mirrors.

A generously equipped 2023 Mini Countryman seems overpriced for a subcompact SUV, but a closer examination of its upscale trim and features — along with its athletic character — makes its steep pricing more understandable.

The 2023 Mini Countryman debuts an all-new Untamed Edition that attempts to encourage owners to explore the great outdoors in style.
