Question:

Im looking for a non-roof bike rack that will help me carry at least 2 bikes on my 2021 Mini Cooper Countryman SE this is the plug-in hybrid electric version of the car. Since theres no simple way to specify the SE on your pull-down menus, I want to ensure Im not making a mistake and getting the wrong rack! Happy to install a hitch and have a hitch-based rack, or have a trunk-mounted rack.

We don't have hitch options for the hybrid versions of the 2021 Mini Countryman SE so while we don't have a hitch option we do have the really great trunk mounted option with the Yakima Fullback part # Y02634 which is very easy to install, protects the vehicle paint well, and comes with locks. This is the best trunk rack option out there.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
