The MINI Countryman crossover represents a whole new combination of the absorbing handling characteristics of a MINI with the versatile interior of a four-door car and the optimised traction of a Sports Activity Vehicle (in the shape of the optional all-wheel-drive system). At the same time, it provides a fresh and distinctive interpretation of established MINI features as far as design, premium quality, efficiency and customisation are concerned. The brand's fourth model - joining the classic two-door, MINI Clubman and MINI Convertible in the range - meets the challenges of urban mobility with impressive flexibility, captures the imagination beyond traditional MINI territory with its broader range of abilities, and paves the way for an expanding band of prospective customers with varying mobility-based requirements to experience the trademark driving fun of a MINI.

With the long-distance comfort of four individual seats or space for up to five people on board, plus a raised seating position, versatile interior, new generation of powerful and efficient engines and optional MINI ALL4 all-wheel-drive system, the MINI Countryman adds another sprinkling of attractive features to the emotional driving experience of a MINI. Its body and interior concept invite you to share the MINI feeling with friends and in a variety of different situations. This propels the MINI Countryman onto the radar of broader target groups, whose family or leisure pursuits have created an increased need for space and flexibility and who are therefore keen to blend the distinctive style of the brand with innovative functionality and a higher level of interior versatility.

Classic principle, innovative concept, hallmark MINI style.

The unmistakable MINI design language showcases the innovative vehicle concept of the MINI Countryman in fitting style. The first MINI to measure more than four metres (157") in length also follows the principle established for the classic Mini of creating maximum interior space and functionality on a compact footprint. In addition to the classic MINI proportions, characteristic design features at the front, side and rear of the car help to ensure that the MINI Countryman is immediately recognisable as a member of the brand family.

The choice of name for the fourth model in the brand's range also reflects the historic roots and British origins of the MINI. Like the MINI Clubman, the MINI Countryman also builds on the heritage of a forefather based on the brilliant small car concept devised by Alec Issigonis. Indeed, a particularly versatile variant of the classic Mini bearing the Countryman name came onto the market as early as 1960. The Austin Seven Countryman and its technically identical Morris Mini Traveller sister model provided an extra dose of variability, their larger interior offering flexible usage potential. Available for purchase up to 1969, this variant of the Mini - not least the "woody" version with its wooden frame trim on the body flanks and rear doors - achieved a cult status unrivalled to this day.

The MINI Countryman will be built at the BMW Group's Austrian partner firm Magna Steyr Fahrzeugtechnik in Graz. Production will take place on a separate assembly line set up and operated according to the exacting standards of the BMW Group. As with all the brand's models, the petrol engines for the MINI Countryman will be sourced from the Hams Hall engine plant, one corner of the MINI Production Triangle in England. The newly developed diesel power units, meanwhile, will be produced at the BMW Group's largest engine plant in the Austrian town of Steyr.
