Should I buy a used MINI Countryman now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −5.59% versus a year ago, and the 2023 model is at −7.57%.

• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $35,539. The MINI Countryman offers a distinctive mix of playful styling, premium feel, and everyday usefulness.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The Mini Countryman Cooper S has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT), and standard all-wheel drive (AWD). The engine generates 241 horsepower between 4,500 rpm and 6,500 rpm and 295 pound-feet of torque from 1,500 rpm to 4,000 rpm.
• Tech: Mini’s new round 9.4-inch OLED touchscreen infotainment display hasn’t earned much praise, and based on our experience, that’s for a good reason. First, let’s cover what’s included. Our test car had cloud-based navigation with augmented video showing directions on the display, three connected services plans (Mini Connected Drive, BMW TeleServices, Mini Remote Services), and a Mini smartphone app providing access to features like remote engine starting.
• Safety: Standard equipment includes: forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, lane-centering assist, and a blind-spot monitoring system with active steering input to avoid a collision.
• Starting price: Prices range from $38,900 for the Countryman Cooper S to $46,900 for the Countryman JCW, with the Countryman SE slotting between them at $45,200.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2028 inventory to mature.
