Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Buick Envista than in the MINI Countryman. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Buick Envista 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). Clearly, the Buick Envista is a better financial choice over the MINI Countryman, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Buick Envista is a little narrower than the MINI Countryman, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Buick Envista, which is slightly longer than the MINI Countryman.

Handling
The Buick Envista 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 Buick Envista has a lot less horsepower than the MINI Countryman.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Buick Envista 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 Buick Envista and the MINI Countryman. The Buick Envista has significantly less cargo capacity than the MINI Countryman.
