Small overlap front: driver-side
Rating applies to 2017-24 models
Tested vehicle: 2017 Mini Countryman S 4-door 4wd
The Mini Countryman was redesigned for the 2017 model year. Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by BMW (manufacturer of the Mini) as part of frontal crash test verification.
