When taking to the streets of Markham, ON, it helps to be in a subcompact SUV, like the 2023 MINI Cooper Countryman or the 2023 Kia Soul. These vehicles are made to maneuver through crowded city streets and tackle busy highways with ease. Plus, they both offer impressive performances and stylish designs. We’ve created this MINI Cooper Countryman vs. Kia Soul comparison to help you determine which one is better for your lifestyle. Sort out the differences with our team at MINI Markham so you can be prepared to hit the streets.
The MINI Cooper Countryman and the Kia Soul offer energetic engines along with a smooth ride and comfortable handling. Let’s take a look at their powertrains to see which one gives you the flexibility and power you crave.
The MINI Cooper Countryman has three engines to choose from with noteworthy degrees of power: 1.5L TwinPower Turbo 3-cylinder: 134 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque 2.0L TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder: 189 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of torque 2.0L TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder Valvetronic: 301 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque Additionally, the MINI Cooper Countryman also has an available plug-in hybrid configuration—something you can’t get with the Soul—that offers an even more efficient performance.
The Soul has just one engine available. While this engine can hold its own, it can’t quite match up to the athleticism posed by the MINI model. The 2.0L 4-cylinder engine delivers 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. With more power and more engine options, the MINI model is the better choice for your needs.
Whether you want a new ride to get to work, run errands, or go on a road trip, it’s important to stay comfortable and entertained throughout the journey. Both the MINI Countryman and the Kia Soul have impressive interiors.
You can get comfortable easily in either the MINI Cooper Countryman or the Kia Soul thanks to their long list of available features. For example, they both come with available power-adjustable front seats to get comfy behind the wheel along with SiriusXM® Satellite Radio for hours of listening entertainment. When you grip the wheel to embark on your next journey in your MINI, though, you’ll feel the supple embrace of an available Nappa leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Additionally, the MINI Cooper Countryman has a standard 8.8-inch Touchscreen Display to control various settings and entertainment options. The Kia Soul comes with a smaller 8-inch display. Unfortunately, it doesn’t offer the luxurious touch of Nappa leather in any trim level.
As you’ve learned, the Kia Soul has a lot to offer drivers like you in the Markham, Ontario, area. However, with its strong performance, bold exterior colors, and cutting-edge technology features, the 2023 MINI Cooper Countryman may be the better fit for you.
