Nice first look! Love your enthusiasm and natural style. I’m test driving the new Countryman S here in Michigan in 3 days time. Can’t wait to see it in the metal! I had a 1964 Miini when I lived in London in the mid 1980s. I may be going back to a new MINI next week!
It looks very intriguing! I know some folks are going to complain about changes, but if those changes make it a better car I'm all for it. Thanks for sharing!
Definitely way less polarizing than the 2 door electric (J01) - I have much less "issues" with this than I do the 2 door - the two things I cannot get past in the other model is 1) it's made in China - at least this one is made in Germany - still not as good as Oxford but okay. and 2) those tail lights - I just can't see getting used to the rear end design for a while yet. Although I will say the F66 in JCW trim is starting to grow on me (like a fungus). Just glad I have a '24 F56 JCW inbound now (on the boat in fact) - we have some time to get used to the new styling and cars in general....
I love it!!!! It’s one sharp Mini!! The red roof really pops! When are you going to buy one, hahaha 🤪. You had a great trip over seas, what fun to go over there and hang out and see the electric models.
Yikes! Do NOT care for this at all. Please do not ruin the Mini brand. Add new models if you want and see if they are popular BEFORE you eliminate the good stuff. This seems like the "new" Coke rollout back in the 1980's.
Single digit inches in all directions - I think the biggest increase is in overall length. It looks / feels smaller than the X1 from what I've been told.
I was not "feeling it" when I first saw pictures but the more I see it (in JCW trim) the more I'm liking it... Still not going to trade ANY of my Minis for one (just yet, especially not my F54) but who knows possibly when the time comes our R60 S (2013 with super low miles) might have a new owner in a year or two...
To much over design in a bad way ,I have a mini countryman 2020 it has nearly round headlights ,I like my one tons but would not buy this at all just on the fact the lights are to big a step from original..

Mini crushed it! i really dig the updated JCW Countryman!
Beautiful car. Great video. I can't afford the JCW but I am planning on the getting the S and I cannot wait.
The S will still be super cool. I plan on getting one of those myself
thanks for the preview. i actually like the new interior better...to each his own
Thanks for the tour 😃 most impressive and cannot wait to see it in person

Wir haben Zeit?Wir?du vielleicht!Ein zerstörter Mini!Es wird halt was andere gekauft und fertig!
Is that dash fabric customizable? I'm not a huge fan of the red lines. A plain black would be nice
There will be several options for the dash fabric. This one is specific to the JCW.
@@TheMINIVlogHi
Hello 👋
@@TheMINIVlog How are you?
nice straightforward review. cant wait to hear your opinion once you get to drive it.
Thanks for the overview
That interior is hideous. I was looking to get one and thought I’d wait for the ‘24. But I’m hoping I can find a new ‘23 now.
2:34 Actually the 3rd Brake Light was always on the Spoiler. Even on the 2nd generation Countryman.
I love it!!!! It’s one sharp Mini!! The red roof really pops! When are you going to buy one, hahaha 🤪. You had a great trip over seas, what fun to go over there and hang out and see the electric models.
The big hood that connected to side pillar was one of the strongest designs of mini and it’s gone! 💩
Is there such a things is “vegan leather” the cow was vegan or what? Therese is plastic
Do love the minimal interior but that’s about it
You forget to mention overall size and you did said horse power but forget to say is slower than last generation
Nope
I can see some design influence from Velar especially from the rear, there's just something that whispers range rover
Yikes! Do NOT care for this at all. Please do not ruin the Mini brand. Add new models if you want and see if they are popular BEFORE you eliminate the good stuff. This seems like the "new" Coke rollout back in the 1980's.
Amazing vehicle. I currently have a Countryman. Can you put a trailer hitch on the back of the new JCW Countryman?
Coming from a 1st gen countryman owner, this is too big to be MIni lol! Love everything but the size!
Can you turn traction control off?
Really, do you know something about previous version? To say that is nice.
This is cheaper at all, slower and totally plastic… awful
Awful, what have they done..? Interior has lost everything that made mini great 😢
How much bigger is this compared to the current generation Countryman?
To the current gen.... It's def longer. A tad taller but that's not as noticeable as the length
Single digit inches in all directions - I think the biggest increase is in overall length. It looks / feels smaller than the X1 from what I've been told.
It think it’s 13cm longer and 6cm taller not much is it really
It is horrible I will keep the Old one
Is this a mild hybrid? I heard somewhere it was - hence the bump in power - is the motor still the B48 or has that changed as well?
Und womit soll man den schalten???
I’d like to know the colour of this one? Is it Midnight black or Legend Grey?
Legend Grey!!
Schrecklich haben Sie das Auto kaputt gemacht!Aber kein Wunder wenn der neue Designer ein Afro ist!Sieht aus,wie eine asiatische Flunder!

I could vomit just looking at this car! 🤢
What happend? Why?
I have been driving Countryman since 2010 and now I am heartbroken 😢
To much over design in a bad way ,I have a mini countryman 2020 it has nearly round headlights ,I like my one tons but would not buy this at all just on the fact the lights are to big a step from original..
Do not like the new look at all
Suzuki swift😢
But with the reliability of a Range Rover. Good luck to all enthusiasts. 😂
