Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class than in the MINI Countryman. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and the MINI Countryman.

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 Mercedes-Benz G-Class will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the MINI Countryman, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is much wider than the MINI Countryman, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the MINI Countryman.

Handling
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has a significantly larger turning radius than the MINI Countryman, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class greatly out-muscles the MINI Countryman.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class 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 Mercedes-Benz G-Class and the MINI Countryman. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the MINI Countryman.
