More space, more comfort and renewed shapes. The new generation of the Mini Countryman grows in length (4.4 meters) and style and tech content. “The Countryman is our vehicle designed for the whole family. In its latest generation, it has not only grown in height, length and interior spaces, but has also greatly improved in character, appearance and experience. Now it is even more present, more spacious and more stable. Its strong presence on the front is reflected in the proportions. Its solid and stable character is immediately recognizable even by the most distinctive radiator grille, unique headlights and sculptural bonnet,” says Oliver Heilmer, Head of Mini Design.
The new design of the Mini Countryman embraces improved aerodynamics to achieve more sustainable consumption data that benefits from this aspect. The modern exterior design is supported by clean surfaces, a slightly curved roof with a seamless transition to the newly developed C-pillar with a specific shape dedicated to the chosen trim level and the characteristic Black Band that surrounds the car. The C-pillar is the fundamental element to differentiate the different models, the equipment and the subsequent editions. The front is defined by the expressive profile of the new octagonal front grille that hides a particularly small radar sensor to support the functionality of driver assistance systems.
The dashboard amazes for the lack of a display for the instrumentation: as an option you can have a head up display. The interiors are covered with warm and pleasant to the touch materials. A specially developed manufacturing process is used to create the versatile and easy-care structure of the fabric in two-tone design made of recycled polyester. The entire cabin is divided into an upper and lower section along a horizontal line under the new round instrumentation. The rear of the vehicle offers spaciousness and maximum minimalism. The position of the row of rear seats can be adjusted in length up to 13 centimeters. This way you get a very comfortable legroom for rear passengers or additional volume in the trunk.
