WHAT CAR? AWARD FOR THE MINI COUNTRYMAN PLUG-IN HYBRID.
For the first time, What Car? included used cars in their Electric Car Awards 2021 – and imagine our excitement when the MINI Countryman Plug-in Hybrid bagged the inaugural ‘Best used hybrid small SUV’ award!
With its love of adventure, sharp handling, eco-creds, premium interior and reasonable price, the only thing we were left scratching our chins over is how many gongs it could’ve won had What Car? introduced this category a little sooner?

THE AWARD-WINNING HYBRID.
When handing out the award, What Car? said “the MINI Countryman is an impressive small SUV in its conventional guise, and the plug-in hybrid version is even better. It’s economical yet quick while retaining many of the standard car’s plus points, such as neat handling, a classy interior and intuitive infotainment. Better still, used prices are very reasonable.”
