Are you looking to add a new SUV to your family? Does it need to be spacious enough for both your crew and your cargo? Are you looking for convenient features and amenities to elevate your drives and adventures? If so, you’ll enjoy what the 2023 MINI Cooper Countryman and the 2023 Audi Q3 have to offer. Which model will be the better companion for you? Markham, Ontario, drivers can continue reading the comparison below provided by the team at MINI of Markham to find out.
Both the MINI Cooper Countryman and the Audi Q3 have unique designs. Which one matches your preferences?
The Q3 uses LED lights for its headlights and taillights, which provide optimal illumination. The MINI Cooper Countryman, though, has unique lighting features, such as its adaptive LED headlights. As you turn, your steering input will activate the light’s adaptive properties to illuminate what’s around the corner before you fully round the bend. Plus, the MINI Cooper Countryman has signature Union Jack taillights, which nod to MINI’s British heritage.
Both SUVs have standard roof rails that satisfy both form and function. They provide ways to carry your cargo, and they add athletic flair. You’ll find 40/20/40 split folding rear seats in either vehicle too, helping optimize the cabin to fit your gear. While you’ll have a power tailgate on either model, only the MINI Cooper Countryman has an Easy Opener feature. This amenity allows you to kick your foot under the bumper to open the hatch. Unfortunately, the Audi’s feature goes without similar functionality.
Your convenience is a top priority in either SUV. Which model provides more in this department, though?
As the driver, you’ll have a driver-centric cockpit in the MINI Cooper Countryman and the Audi Q3. Each model has an 8.8-inch full-colour touchscreen; however, the MINI Cooper Countryman’s display takes a circular shape, while the Audi sticks to the classic rectangular platform. This unique display shape provides an elevated cabin feel. Regardless of which one you choose, both SUVs offer Bluetooth® and Apple CarPlay® for hands-free calling and cable-free connectivity. So, as you drive, you can enjoy your preferred entertainment.
Exclusive to the MINI Countryman is the MINI Picnic Bench. This useful feature folds out of the trunk to provide a seat for you when it’s time to stop and smell the roses. It also doubles as a bench when you need to change your shoes before your next on-foot adventure begins. Unfortunately, a similar feature is unavailable on the Audi Q3.
Both the MINI Cooper Countryman and the Audi Q3 are worthy companions for all Markham, ON drivers. However, with its unique design elements and additional convenience features, we believe the MINI Cooper Countryman deserves the spot in your driveway. Stop by MINI of Markham for a test drive and to experience The Pfaff Difference today.
