Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Land Rover Discovery Sport 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 Land Rover Discovery Sport.

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 Land Rover Discovery Sport is somewhat more expensive than the MINI Countryman.

Dimensions
Since the Land Rover Discovery Sport is much wider than the MINI Countryman, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Land Rover Discovery Sport, which is slightly longer than the MINI Countryman.

Handling
The Land Rover Discovery Sport has the same turning radius as the MINI Countryman, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Land Rover Discovery Sport does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the MINI Countryman.
