Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mitsubishi Outlander than in the MINI Countryman, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Mitsubishi Outlander offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the MINI Countryman, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

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 MINI Countryman will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Mitsubishi Outlander, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the MINI Countryman is much slimmer than the Mitsubishi Outlander, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the MINI Countryman, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Handling
The MINI Countryman has a larger turning radius than the Mitsubishi Outlander, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the MINI Countryman greatly out-muscles the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Powertrain
The MINI Countryman has much lower torque than the Mitsubishi Outlander, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The MINI Countryman has less seating than the Mitsubishi Outlander, making the Mitsubishi Outlander the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The MINI Countryman has less cargo space than the Mitsubishi Outlander, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
