Most of the cosmetic updates are concentrated at the front thanks to the larger grille (finished in black) and refreshed all-LED headlamps. It also comes with a revised bumper with blacked-out design elements. Save for the Union Jack patterned tail lamps and a refreshed bumper, the rest of the design remains similar. It also gets a new set of alloy wheels, with sizes ranging up to 18-inches.

Save for the new gear lever and the 5.5-inch digital driver’s display, the interior remains similar to the pre-facelifted model. That said, Mini has spruced it up by offering new upholstery colours: Chester Malt Brown and Leather Chester Satellite Grey. Buyers can also opt for the Excitement pack which comes with ambient lighting and a projection of the MINI logo (puddle lamps) from the ORVMs.  

It’s offered in six exterior colours: Chilli Red, Midnight Black, British Racing Green, Island Blue, and Sage Green (new), White Silver (new).

The Countryman is powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine developing 192PS of power and 280Nm of torque. However, unlike the pre-facelifted model, the refreshed Cooper S relies on a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, instead of the 8-speed automatic. It still does the 0-100kmph run in 7.5 seconds. The Cooper S JCW also comes with paddle shifters if you intend to take matters into your own hands.
