Mini have begun to bridge outwards in recent times with regard to their design, and the new Mini Countryman is a prime example.Mini have aimed the Countryman as something of a mixture between a normal Mini Cooper and a SUV with the emphasis on fun.

Mini Countryman is bigger, more stylish

The Mini Countryman is the first Mini to come with 4 doors and has an expanded interior with enough space for up to 5 people. At launch the Mini Countryman will come in five different engine types including three petrol and two diesel engines. The most powerful of the options being the Cooper S Countryman which comes with a 135kW/184hp, 1.6 liter, 4-cylinder engine.

Another new feature in the Mini Countryman is an all-wheel drive system they are calling MiniAll4. This is however an optional feature available in the Mini Cooper S Countryman and Mini Cooper D Countryman model. The all-wheel drive system aims to keep the driving experience in a Mini as fun and the responsiveness as quick as possible even when driving off-road.
