Uncle Che summed up

In general, the MINI COYNTRYMAN uninhibited special edition model mainly adds some specialized elements in the interior and exterior design, and the whole vehicle does not change much. In a way, the MINI and Porsche are somewhat similar, too classic shape does not require major surgery, some details of the change can be refreshing. Through the above detailed analysis, we can see that in the two configurations launched by the MINI COYNTRYMAN Uninhibited Special Edition this time, the high-end 2022 2.0T COOPER S ALL4 Uninhibited Special Edition has a greater degree of improvement in terms of power, the performance is remarkable, and the cost performance is slightly higher. In the view of Uncle Che, the biggest advantage of MINI is that it can maintain its own charm no matter how to change the appearance and interior, whether it is old or new. However, the disadvantages are also obvious, the import status leads to excessive pricing, and the practicality of the small body is not good. Therefore, for most people, MINI COYNTRYMAN is very low value for money and is not recommended to buy!
