As far as I have worked it out the Countryman is smaller than my Golf+. A standard Golfs dimensions are:

Golf GT
Length 4199 mm - 13'9"
Width 1779 mm - 5'10" - exc. mirrors
Height 1480 mm - 4'10"
Wheel Base 2575 mm - 8'5"
Boot Capacity 350 litres (min)1305 litres (max)

Countryman
Length - 161.3 inches (4097 mm)
Height - 61.5 inches (1561 mm)
Width - 70.4 inches (1789 mm)
Wheelbase - 102.2 inches (2595 mm)
Cargo capacity - 350 liters

The X1's dimensions are pretty much the same as a 3-series estate. So, put a Golf next to a 3-series estate and you get an idea of the difference. Saying that the X1 feels larger, probably due to the extra height.
