2018 MINI Countryman vs 2018 BMW X1
Serving Ramsey, Clifton, and Wayne, NJ
For driving enthusiasts, small, fun-to-drive cars practically sell themselves. Two models that continue a heritage of superior handling are the 2018 MINI Countryman and the 2018 BMW X1. Both vehicles offer luxury touches, sporty performance and upscale features. We know you’ll enjoy testing both. When you do, we think you’ll agree the Countryman is more fun, more practical and a better value.
Manual Transmission
Driving enthusiasts have always preferred the control and involvement provided by a manual transmission. Both models offer automatics, but only the MINI gives you a manual as standard equipment on the Cooper Countryman and Cooper Countryman ALL4. The unit is a precise six-speed that promotes a sensory connection between machine and driver. You will love the flawless, fluid shifting that maximizes responsive road feel.
Panoramic Sunroof
Nothing provides an open-air driving experience short of a convertible than a panoramic sunroof. The 2018 Countryman comes standard with an expansive, dual-pane sunroof that extends to the back seat, a welcome amenity for rear-seat passengers get to enjoy fresh air and the great outdoors. On the other hand, the 2018 X1 offers an optional moonroof at extra cost.
Performance
You might be surprised to learn that MINI is a subsidiary of BMW. This helps explain why the John Cooper Works Countryman and the BMW X1 share a 2.0-liter turbo-4 engine that puts out 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Both cars are available in forward- and all-wheel drive varieties that offer similar fuel economy figures. JCW Countryman comes standard with Dynamic Damper Control and 18-inch wheels, and a sport suspension is available.
