Mini is adding a fourth model to the family, opening up a new dimension of that unmistakable Mini feeling.

As a genuine Crossover, the Mini Countryman bridges the gap between the classic concept of the Mini and a modern Sports Activity Vehicle.

As the first model in the range with four doors and a wide-opening rear lid, the Countryman provides even greater freedom of space for truly versatile use, a slightly elevated seating position, and optimized driving comfort.

And at the same time the Countryman maintains that go-kart feeling likewise so characteristic of Mini.

The Countryman carries on the design of the brand , combining larger body dimensions, greater ground clearance and four doors at the side with those unmistakable design features.

Short overhangs, a high window line, powerful stance on the wheels, and window graphics extending round the entire car create those unique proportions so typical of Mini.

Proceeding from that design language so typical of Mini, the Countryman authentically visualises the particular features of this very special car.

Positioned almost upright, the front end bears out strong presence and serves to optimise pedestrian safety.

The extra space within the car, in turn, is emphasised by extra-large windows, the introduction of four doors, and the individual shape of the roof.

The particularly wide frame around the lower part of the body and the powerfully flared wheel arches highlight the robust character of the car and its all-wheel drive.

The Countryman stands out from the start as a brand-new, highly innovative model but is nevertheless clearly identifiable from the very beginning as a genuine Mini.
