Both the Audi Q3 and MINI Countryman are great choices for Lee County shoppers looking for a luxurious, quick, and fun crossover. But only one of these small SUVs pays big dividends once you're behind the wheel. See how the two compare with MINI of Fort Myers.
Engine and Performance
One of the Countryman's standout features is its exceptional handling. The MINI's lower curb weight – 3,777 pounds vs. the Audi's nearly 4,000 - offers signature go-kart-like agility, making navigating the curves of the Midpoint Bridge an exhilarating experience. It also allows the MINI to return superior fuel economy (32 highway mpg compared to 29).
Under the hood, the Countryman's TwinPower Turbo engine delivers an impressive punch – 241 horsepower. Whether you're accelerating onto the highway or zipping through the streets of the River District, the Countryman's eager power and quick throttle response ensure an engaging driving experience. The Audi can't compete, only offering 228 horsepower.
Space and Cargo Capacity
Step inside the Countryman, and you'll find a spacious and expertly crafted cabin. The Countryman offers superior front and second-row head and leg room, ensuring comfort for passengers on long drives along the Gulf Coast. The Countryman also boasts a wide array of customization options and wholly relies on sustainable materials.
When it's time to load up for a shopping spree at the Edison Mall, the Countryman's versatile cargo space has you covered. The split-folding rear seats and flexible configurations make it easy to accommodate a variety of items, from shopping bags to sports gear. While functional, the Q3's cargo area can't quite match the Countryman's adaptability. The Countryman offers 56.2 cubic feet of cargo space, while the Q3 must make do with 48 cubic feet.
