Living in the Chicago area, it’s a good idea to have a car that will give you peace of mind when you’re out driving. This is especially true during winter months as things can be very slippery. If you’re looking for a car with great handling and traction, a MINI Cooper is a good choice. So, which MINI Coopers have all-wheel drive? This guide goes over three 2023 models.

MINI Countryman

While front-wheel drive is standard in the MINI Countryman, all-wheel drive is available. The base model comes with a turbocharged 1.5-liter, three-cylinder engine that produces 134 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. Three other powertrains are available:

  • Turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder: 189 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque
  • Turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine and an electric motor: 221 horsepower and 284 lb-ft of torque
  • Turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder: 301 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque

A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is standard, though with all-wheel drive, you can get an eight-speed automatic.

MINI John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4

The MINI John Cooper Works Countryman comes standard with all-wheel drive. This model is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder that puts out 301 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque, and it’s mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

MINI Clubman

Front-wheel drive is standard in the MINI Clubman, but you can opt for all-wheel drive. Two engine choices are available. The base is a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder that offers 189 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of torque. The other option is also a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder, but this one will give you 301 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission comes standard, but you can go with either a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic or an eight-speed automatic.
