While Mini seems to be shining the spotlight on the electric variants of its newly-redesigned Countryman SUV, the brand has finally gotten to revealing the details on the gas-powered S ALL4 base model. While it's more down-to-earth compared to the models we've already seen, pricing has jumped considerably compared to last year's Countryman, as things now open up at a not-so-cheap $39,895.
The price hike isn't for nothing however, as the latest Countryman is larger than before and now comes with all-wheel drive as standard. The entry-level S ALL4 model is powered by a turbocharged 2.0 liter inline-four, sending 241 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Additionally, the S ALL4 is capable of towing up to 3,500 pounds. These numbers are nearly identical to the ones found in the base BMW X1, which doesn't come as a surprise considering that the two SUVs share their underpinnings.
The S ALL4 doesn't stray too far from more expensive models in terms of styling. It offers white, silver, black, and a light Smokey Green as its exterior color options, and large two-tone 19-inch wheels are available as an option. Stepping inside the Countryman's stylish new cabin, a 9.4-inch circular touchscreen comes on all models, and cloth trim can be found on the dashboard with a variety of snazzy trim patterns.
There's a chance that Mini could lower the Countryman's price in the future with a less powerful, front-wheel drive variant. Last year's model, which started at $32,650, did exactly that by offering non-S models with FWD. Even if Mini does eventually offer such a model on the latest Countryman, it likely won't arrive until later. As for the existing 2025 Countryman, the base S ALL4 and spruced-up JCW trims will reach dealers first, as they're set to arrive in spring 2024. The fully-electric Countryman SE ALL4 is expected later that year, in the fall.
Do you think the new Countryman is worth the extra cost?
