SkillanNaylor Car Company are pleased to offer this 2020 MINI Countryman 2.0 John Cooper Works ALL4 5Dr Auto seen in Melting Silver Metallic with a contrasting Chilli Red Roof and MINI Yours Carbon Black Lounge Leather. A hot hatch with a growth spurt. The practicality of a family SUV, the performance of a serious sports car and the unmistakable character of a MINI. Welcome to the extraordinary John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4. There has always been something wonderfully unconventional about MINI's approach to performance cars. Rather than simply chasing horsepower figures, the company has traditionally concentrated on delivering an engaging, entertaining and occasionally mischievous driving experience. The John Cooper Works Countryman takes that philosophy and applies it to a considerably larger, more practical package. The result is a genuinely versatile performance SUV that manages to combine everyday usability with the sort of pace and driving involvement normally associated with considerably more focused machinery. And with 306 HP, 450 Nm of torque and intelligent ALL4 four-wheel drive, this is no ordinary MINI. Our 2020 example is presented in the particularly attractive combination of Melting Silver Metallic with a contrasting Chilli Red roof, complemented by 19" John Cooper Works Circuit Spoke Alloy Wheels. Inside, the cabin benefits from the luxurious MINI Yours Carbon Black Lounge Leather upholstery and an impressive selection of desirable factory options, including a Panoramic Glass Sunroof, Head-Up Display and Harman Kardon Hi-Fi Stereo. It's a specification that perfectly complements the Countryman's dual personality: an accomplished everyday family vehicle with a genuinely exciting performance car hiding beneath its practical exterior. 306 HP – Serious Performance, MINI Character At the heart of the John Cooper Works Countryman sits a formidable 2.0-litre, four-cylinder TwinPower Turbo petrol engine. Developing an impressive 306 HP and 450 Nm of torque, this is an engine that completely transforms the character of MINI's largest model. To put that output into perspective, this Countryman produces more power than many highly regarded performance hatchbacks, yet combines that performance with the elevated driving position, spacious interior and versatility of a compact SUV. The performance figures are equally impressive. Acceleration from 0–62 MPH takes just 5.1 seconds, while the electronically limited maximum speed is 155 MPH. But the figures only tell part of the story. It's the way the engine delivers its performance that makes the John Cooper Works so entertaining. With substantial torque available from low engine speeds, there's an immediate sense of urgency whenever the accelerator is pressed. Overtaking is effortless, acceleration is relentless and the engine's muscular mid-range performance makes the car feel exceptionally responsive in almost any driving situation. An 8-speed Steptronic Sports Automatic transmission complements the engine beautifully, delivering smooth, unobtrusive changes during relaxed driving while responding quickly and decisively when the pace increases. Select Sport mode and the Countryman's character becomes noticeably more assertive, with sharper throttle response, a more enthusiastic transmission and an increasingly engaging driving experience. This is a car that can comfortably undertake the daily commute before transforming into something altogether more entertaining on your favourite stretch of open road. ALL4 – Performance You Can Actually Use With 306 HP available, putting that performance onto the road effectively is every bit as important as producing it. That's where MINI's intelligent ALL4 four-wheel-drive system becomes such an important part of the Countryman's appeal. Rather than relying exclusively on the front wheels, the ALL4 system can distribute power between the front and rear axles according to driving conditions and available traction. The result is exception
