But the subtle aesthetic changes add up to a much more pleasant-looking vehicle.

The Countryman now packs the Union Jack taillights from the Cooper.

The front end of the car sees the biggest changes.

The best tweak to the interior comes in the form of a sleek-looking digital dash.

The interior offers some pretty tasty-looking leather finishes, too.

The change to the front lower grille is huge and makes the car look much more premium.
