The NHTSA has not yet given the 2021 Mini Countryman a safety rating yet. Like the NHTSA, the IIHS has also not yet crash-tested the 2021 Countryman. However, the IIHS has crash-tested the 2020 Countryman giving it "good" in all tests with "marginal/poor" in headlights. 

The Countryman has a plethora of safety features, for example, a foothold and clarity control, rearview camera, and tire-pressure observing system, in addition to the multiple airbags. standard is also the Dynamic Driving Assistant that includes a forward-crash warning and programmed emergency slow down the procedure. Optional on Signature and Iconic trim is Driver's Assistance package ($1,250) it includes front park distance control and active cruise control. 

2021 MINI Countryman v/s 2021 Kia Soul

The Kia Soul has the advantage of being pocket-friendly, fuel-efficient, and having better warranty packages whereas the MINI Countryman justifies its price with a much better styling, standard features, and a stronger engine, not to forget the status of being in a MINI.

To conclude, even the base model of the Countryman feels luxurious and well-equipped rather than the Kia Soul.

2021 MINI Countryman v/s 2021 Subaru Crosstrek

 The Subaru Crosstrek is good-looking, luxurious as well as spacious making it the most desirable cabin to be in but the base engine and the lack of standard features at a very high price is disappointing.

On the other hand, the Countryman with its sheer luxury, off-road capabilities, and plethora of onboard features, while the acceleration and transmission is kept aside, is a clear winner.

2021 MINI Countryman v/s 2021 Audi Q3

Even though Audi Q3 comes with advanced tech-features, a beast of an engine, and a spacious cabin, the price of the Q3 stands as the main concern as even the base model is so expensive that you would not want to give it a thought.

If the price is not an issue, then the Audi Q3 is an excellent option. The Countryman with its comparatively lower price tag offers luxury styling, high quality, space and every other essentiality you would need.

Some portion of the delight of purchasing a Mini is the capacity to redo it according to your own style and need. So, go ahead and order your Mini. Try not to give in to the concept of paying for stuff you don't need or a color/shading mix that is not actually you. In one to two months, you can have a specific 2021 Mini Countryman that you would always like. What's more, you can even try to get a cheaper price than the one quoted on the glass doors of a showroom. In any case, however, you can opt for getting the Cooper S because of its adequately incredible and powerful motor.
