The all-new MINI Countryman, the largest model in the brand’s line-up, has proven its mettle in safety by earning a coveted 5-star rating from the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP). This accolade highlights its dedication to delivering style, innovation, and exceptional safety performance.

Built at the Leipzig plant, the MINI Countryman excelled in rigorous tests, showcasing remarkable occupant protection in diverse collision scenarios. Thanks to advanced driver assistance systems, its ability to safeguard vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists stood out. The cutting-edge front collision warning with braking function adds an extra layer of urban safety, adeptly detecting cyclists and pedestrians from various directions to prevent potential accidents.
Safety doesn’t stop there. The MINI Countryman comes equipped with innovative passive safety features, including a centre airbag between the front seats. This design was commended for its effectiveness, providing added protection during side collisions. The car also earned top marks in tests measuring child protection during frontal and side impacts, reinforcing its reputation as a family-friendly vehicle.
The integrated safety concept extends to features like an intelligent emergency call system and an emergency braking mechanism to prevent secondary collisions. Euro NCAP highlighted the reliable performance of active engine compartment lids, which minimise injury risks to pedestrians and cyclists at varying speeds.
With its robust safety features and accident-avoidance technologies, the MINI Countryman underscores the high standards Euro NCAP sets. Achieving a 5-star rating solidifies its place as a standout in the crossover category, ensuring peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike.
