The 2020 Mini Countryman carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Mini Countryman 2020 prices range from $24,860 for the basic trim level SUV Cooper Stafford Edition to $62,260 for the top of the range SUV John Cooper Works Signature.
Towing capacities for hybrid vehicles has been a bit of an issue for Australian car buyers for a while now and remains one of the biggest hurdles to ownership of this type of technology. There’s also a fair bit of misinformation around, too, including the fact that hybrids can’t tow at all. That’s simply not true for some manufacturers, but in this case, it’s a fact.
While Mini specifies a 1500kg towing limited (with a braked trailer) for its Countryman range, there are exceptions. In fact, Mini does not specify a towing limit for two variants of the Countryman; the sporty John Cooper Works version and, sadly, the plug-in hybrid variant. In fact, there’s not even a factory-option tow-bar listed for those variants, which is another way of saying they’re not designed for towing at all. You may need to look elsewhere.

You’re looking at a relatively new model so the reliability should be fine, and the maintenance costs should be ok if you use a specialist independent mechanic instead of a dealer.

The Mini Countryman's interior and dashboard demonstrates typically Mini retro touches, but in the most practical guise yet. There's still a few ergonomic quirks that you probably won't pick up in the images, and you'll need to opt for the JCW or Hybrid if you're looking for leather trim.
