The JCW - or John Cooper Works - badge has always signified something special. It's a Mini but amped up for an even more focused, and quicker drive. In the 2024 Countryman, the JCW label is applied to the biggest Mini yet. But does size matter? Or is this new-gen performance SUV the perfect model for family friendly fun?

It's significantly bigger than the previous version, and for the first time it gets an all-electric model. Some people don't see Mini as a family-friendly brand. But is this new Countryman the perfect electric car for a small family?

Another semi-premium electric SUV is hitting Australian shores this year to join the growing throng.
