2019 Mini Cooper Countryman

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 Cooper Countryman.

Transmission Automatic (S6)

The 2019 Mini Cooper Countryman is the 2019 model-year variant of Mini's Countryman line, equipped with an automatic S6 transmission and EPA-rated at 24 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined, while routine oil service calls for 0W-20 viscosity and a 4.5-quart fill. Reliability records for this model year show 10 owner complaints and 2 recalls, with the leading complaint area categorized as "Unknown Or Other." Set against the 2011–2016 complaint history—where annual complaints peaked at 118 in 2012 and declined to 18 in 2016—the 2019 model's lower complaint count places it in a comparatively subdued interval of the Countryman's documented reliability timeline, though it falls outside that historical coverage window.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The federal record shows that complaints for the Mini Cooper Countryman fell sharply from a peak of 118 in 2012 to just 18 in 2016, while recalls declined from seven in 2014 to one in 2016 and investigations dropped from two in 2014‑2015 to none in 2016. The target year 2019 lies outside the supplied year‑by‑year data, so no complaint, recall, investigation, or TSB figures are available for that specific model year. Consequently, the improving trend observed through 2016 cannot be directly extended to 2019 without additional information. Given the absence of federal data for 2019, a buyer should rely on a pre‑purchase inspection and vehicle‑history report rather than assuming the same downward trend continues.
