The first MINI with autopilot: the Countryman crossover has evolved into the Audi Q3

The third-generation MINI Countryman, which has matured in all respects, will please its fans not only with an autopilot. In addition to two electric models, the British offer three petrol versions of the most compact SUV ever. Sales of new items will start in February 2024.

At the start of sales, there will also be two electric options: mono- and four-wheel drive with engines rated at up to 309 horsepower. Of.

They also promise a level 2 autopilot for a relaxed ride at speeds of up to 60 mph. Although it seems like a MINI with a semi-autonomous system is like feeding grandma’s pies to an office shredder.
