2025 Mini Countryman 4-door hatchback (2024)

Small overlap front

The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.

Driver-side

  • Rating applies to 2025 models

Tested vehicle: 2025 Mini Countryman S 4-door 4wd

The Mini Countryman was redesigned for the 2025 model year. Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2025 Countryman conducted by BMW.

Overall rating

G

Distance at which headlights provide at least 5 lux illumination:

Low beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was fair on the sharp left and both right curves and inadequate on the gradual left curve.

The low beams created some glare.

High beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was fair in all 4 tests.

High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on the straightaway and all 4 curves.
