Whether you’re enjoying a spirited drive in Niagara-on-the-Lake or trekking through the snow-filled streets of Downtown St. Catharines, you can trust the MINI Cooper Countryman to get you to your destination safely and comfortably. Don’t let its sporty nature fool you… With its advanced ALL4 All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system, raised ground clearance, and standard winter-ready equipment and features, the Countryman is ready to conquer any Canadian winter driving — the MINI way! 

Here’s how the ALL4 All-Wheel Drive system works in the snow: 

1. The ALL4 system is active at all times during your drive, ready to detect any potential wheel slippage.




2. Once slippage is detected, the system actively redistributes power to the front or rear axles, depending on which axle has more grip. 




3. This helps to optimize traction, stability, and handling. 
   
   The Countryman’s standard ALL4 system also works in conjunction with a suite of other advanced features to keep you in control. Head down a snowy hill, and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution kicks in to distribute the appropriate amount of braking power to each wheel, helping keep you moving straight. Throw your MINI into a sharp corner, and Cornering Brake Control works to minimize understeer and oversteer by optimizing the brake effects being applied to each wheel. 
   
   Over and above ALL4 All-Wheel Drive, all Countryman models come standard in Canada with heated side mirrors, 3-stage heated seats, and a heated steering wheel to keep you and your MINI toasty all winter long. Optional features such as a heated front windshield are also available, to help you make quick work of any icy winter challenges.
