Comments

Generally, the exhaust pollutants are handled well by the Mini's aftertreatment systems, but the measurements reveal that the car can be challenged in the Highway Test BAB130. Here, point deductions come for particulate emissions where the Countryman performs only averagely well despite being equipped with a GPF. Carbon monoxide emissions are slightly increased during high load operation in highway driving. That being said, the test values are still far below the legal limits and demonstrate the robustness of the emissions control, both in the lab and on the street.

Comments

The Mini Countryman is a relatively heavy and powerful vehicle with a SUV body type and all-wheel drive. The two‑litre turbo-charged petrol engine is supported by a 48 V mild-hybrid system. While WLTC+ tests in the lab require around 6.5 litres for 100 km, the more challenging BAB130 test raises the consumption to more than 8.5 l/100 km. The real-world On-Road Drive was performed with 6.1 l/100 km.

Comments

CH4 and N2O are controlled very well and earn the maximum bonus points. In the tests, the Countryman beats its official CO2 emissions in the WLTC+ tests but the additional well-to-tank emissions push the overall GHG values to more than 180 g/km. Carbon dioxide exceeds Green NCAP limits in the more energy demanding Highway Test, resulting in zero points. Overall, the fossil fuel driven Mini could only score 2.2 out of 10 points for greenhouse gas emissions.

Our verdict

The Mini Countryman S tested here is a large family hatchback of SUV character, with a two‑litre turbo-charged petrol engine providing 160 kW peak system power that is supported by a 48 V mild-hybrid system. Like most other large fossil fuelled cars, it scores weakly in the Greenhouse Gas part of the assessment. On the positive side, pollutant emissions are managed quite well and the Mini demonstrates a robust Clean Air behaviour. The measured consumption values are not impressive, but still creditable for a vehicle of this type and powertrain. Overall, the Mini Countryman collects 2½ Green stars with an average score of 46%.
