MINI Countryman 
As the largest member of the MINI family, the Countryman goes up against sub-compact crossovers and compact hatchbacks. Base, Cooper S, John Cooper Works and SE models are available. That last one features a plug-in hybrid powertrain and can travel up to 19 kilometres without burning any fuel. Like every other MINI, the Countryman sports LED taillights with a Union Jack motif evoking its British origins. Bloody cool, eh?
