Powering the 2026 Mini Countryman C will be a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol direct-injection engine mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

In the X1, this engine produces 136hp and 230Nm of torque. For comparison, the Countryman JCW All4’s 2.0-litre turbocharged engine pushes out 300hp and 400Nm.

The 2026 Countryman C will get body-coloured door handles, black outside rearview mirror (ORVM) housing, door pillars and roof. It will also get champagne-coloured exterior trim, alloy wheels and matrix LED tail-lamps.
