Munich. With the introduction of the new models, MINI
is describing the performance levels of its gasoline engines for the
MINI Countryman with C and, as a more powerful model, with S. A diesel
variant is also available. With the MINI Countryman C, the brand
combines a high level of driving comfort and spacious room with an
efficient 3-cylinder gasoline engine.
“As an entry-level model, the MINI Countryman C combines typical MINI
features such as agility and driving pleasure with generous standard
equipment,” says Stefanie Wurst, head of the MINI brand.
With an output of 125 kW/170 hp, the entry-level model accelerates in
8.3 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and reaches a top speed of 212 km/h.
With 280 Nm of torque and efficient TwinPower Turbo technology, the
vehicle has the necessary power and spontaneity for brand-typical
driving pleasure. The integrated mild hybrid technology is used to
recover braking energy and supports the internal combustion engine
during accelerations with 14 kW electric drive power. This reduces the
consumption and emissions of the MINI Countryman C (combined fuel
consumption: 6.5 – 6.1 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 146 – 138
g/km in accordance with WLTP).
The exterior: puristic design with increased presence.
The new MINI Countryman is 13 centimeters longer and eight
centimeters higher than its predecessor. The upright silhouette with
clearly designed surfaces and the redesigned octagonal front grille
contribute to the model’s superior appearance. The reduced body design
with delicate contours gives the model a sleek appearance. Typical of
the brand, short overhangs underline the agile vehicle character.
Distinctive LED headlights and rear lights accentuate the body design
with optional new light signatures.
The stylish, concisely designed C-pillar adjoins the stretched
vehicle roof flush and in the same colour. Piano Black roof rails are
now standard equipment and maximize the transport options of the
crossover model, for example with a roof rack or the MINI roof box.
On uneven roads, 202 mm ground clearance and the dynamic chassis
provide additional safety and comfort. For the new MINI Countryman C,
light-alloy wheels are available in various designs and sizes ranging
from 17 to 21 inches.
The interior: spacious and versatile with typical MINI
comfort.
The spacious interior of the new MINI Countryman can accommodate up
to five adults. With a panoramic glass roof, the interior has
additional brightness and all-round visibility. The standard sports
seats with patterned multi-tone textile in the cockpit give passengers
more space thanks to an additional width of three centimetres in the
shoulder and elbow area. The backrest of the three rear seats can be
individually adjusted in six positions by up to 12° degrees. The back
seat, which can be moved up to 13 cm, creates additional legroom in
the rear or even more cargo space. Thanks to the rear seat backrest,
which can be folded down at a ratio of 40:20:40, the trunk volume of
450 litres to 1460 litres can be easily and flexibly adapted to
personal needs.
At the centre of the minimalistic interior design is the round OLED
display with a diameter of 240 mm. The new central instrument with a
high-quality glass surface allows all infotainment and assistance
systems to be operated conveniently and intuitively via touch or voice
command. The MINI Experience Modes change the appearance of the
cockpit with a combination of visual design, ambient lighting and
sound design. All driving functions can be controlled via the
characteristic MINI toggle bar.
For the first time, Driving Assistant Plus expands the MINI
Countryman with the option of partially automated Level 2 driving on
motorway-like routes. This allows the driver to take his hands off the
steering wheel up to a speed of 60 km/h, provided that he continues to
closely monitor the traffic and remains ready to intervene at any time.
Four trim options for individual expression.
The product structure of the new MINI Family offers a wide range of
customization options with the new Essential, Classic, Favoured and
JCW trim variants. Depending on the trim, different paint and roof
colours as well as various interior finishes are available. The design
of the new C-pillar element changes with the selected vehicle trim.
The particularly expressive Favoured trim, with the contrasting roof
and the Vibrant Silver front grille frame, sets stylish accents to the
Smokey Green body colour. 20-inch rims in the aerodynamically
optimised Windmill Spoke 2-tone design accentuate the self-confident
appearance of the MINI Countryman C.
In the interior, a two-tone colour gradient adorns the textile
surface from the dashboard to the door panels. The innovative design
is made from recycled polyester using a specially developed knitting
process and contributes to the comfortable atmosphere of the interior.
In addition to the heated sports steering wheel, the Favoured trim has
perforated Vescin sports seats. They are offered in three colours with
traditional accent stitching.
