The 2025 Mini Countryman is the largest Mini ever produced by the British brand. Why?

Having already driven the John Cooper Works and electric SE models, CarBuzz had a chance to drive the Countryman S at Mini Takes the States, an owner-centric event that crosses several US states on a road trip.

The pickup truck is synonymous with blue-collar Americans as a vehicle doing double duty as both a mode of transport and a means of carrying out hard work. The latter is a trait that would seem to perfectly line up with the concept of a manual gearbox, as both the pickup truck and the stick shift are signs that the operator is not afraid to put in the effort.
