Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Lexus NX 350h than in the MINI Countryman. The MINI Countryman will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Lexus NX 350h.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Lexus NX 350h is somewhat more expensive than the MINI Countryman.

Dimensions
The Lexus NX 350h is a little wider than the MINI Countryman, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Lexus NX 350h, which is slightly longer than the MINI Countryman.

Handling
The Lexus NX 350h has the same turning radius as the MINI Countryman, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Lexus NX 350h has a lot less horsepower than the MINI Countryman.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Lexus NX 350h does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the MINI Countryman.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Lexus NX 350h and the MINI Countryman. The Lexus NX 350h has less cargo space than the MINI Countryman, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
