Munich. The enthusiasm for typical MINI driving fun
knows no limits. The versatile, powerful and spacious MINI Countryman
S ALL4 guarantees brand-typical driving fun on any terrain. The new
and largest MINI model combines the flexible options of a crossover
with intelligent all-wheel drive. The new MINI Countryman offers
noticeably more interior space. Thanks to the rear seat backrest,
which can be separated at a ratio of 40:20:40, the luggage compartment
offers variable storage options. It has a volume of 450 liters to
1,450 liters and can easily transport bulky objects when the back seat
is folded down.
Innovative assistance functions, including partially automated Level
2 driving and extensive digital offerings, support drivers and
passengers in new ways. A 48V mild hybrid engine increases the
efficiency of the 2.0 liter twin power engine. Thanks to an optimized
drag coefficient of 0.26, which is a new record in its vehicle
segment, fuel consumption has been significantly reduced in the new
MINI Countryman S ALL4.
“With its powerful 4-cylinder petrol engine and sporty design,
the new MINI Countryman S ALL4 sets new standards in its
segment,” says Stefanie Wurst, Head of the MINI brand.
Even more freedom thanks to intelligent all-wheel drive.
The ALL4 all-wheel drive system provides a noticeable increase in
traction, safety, driving stability and agility. Thanks to its fast
and precise electronic control, the power is distributed between the
front and rear wheels as needed under all road and weather conditions.
The slightly increased track width and increased wheelbase form the
basis for excellent driving dynamics and increase comfort. For even
more driving fun on any surface, new wheel and tire combinations are
available for the MINI Countryman.
Direct steering and the combination of single-joint McPherson strut
front axle and multi-link rear axle guarantee the unmistakable and
typical MINI go-kart feeling. To switch between city traffic and trips
into nature, the chassis can be balanced and comfortable or
particularly sporty. An adaptive chassis with 15 mm lowering and
frequency-selective dampers is optionally available.
The MINI Countryman S ALL4 (combined fuel consumption: 7.4 — 6.8l/100
km, combined CO2 emissions: 169 — 155 g/km according to WLTP) offers
an output of 160 kW/218 hp and a torque of 360 Nm with its smooth
two-liter four-cylinder turbo engine. The 48V mild hybrid motor
supports the vehicle’s performance in the low-speed range and ensures
a temporary boost of 14 kW.
A new feature of MINI is the option of semi-automated driving on
multi-lane routes. This allows the driver to take his hands off the
steering wheel at speeds of up to 60 km/h, as long as he continues to
closely monitor traffic and is ready to intervene at any time. When
changing lanes, the assistant system helps by identifying the gaps in
traffic that are necessary on the way to the exit. This then brings
the vehicle to optimal speed and automatically initiates the lane change.
More MINI aesthetics with a reduced design language.
Regardless of the terrain — a MINI Countryman is and has always been
recognizable as a MINI at first glance. The new design impresses with
its particularly clear aesthetics. From the front, the vehicle looks
tidy and is characterized by the tense shape of the bonnet and the new
octagonal front grille. MINI LED headlamps accentuate the uniqueness
of the reduced design through individual signature modes. The short
overhangs and the slim outline are just as typical MINI as the
stretched contrasting roof.
The wide and upright stand of the new MINI Countryman underlines its
presence and solid off-road character. Vertical rear lights frame the
vehicle silhouette and make the new MINI crossover model look
particularly upright and sporty.
The vehicle design, reduced to the essentials, can be presented in
various ways using four trims — Essential, Classic, Favoured, John
Cooper Works — for the exterior and interior. For example, the
Favoured Trim accentuates the individual character of the MINI
Countryman S ALL4 with particularly expressive details. Combined with
the elegant Melting Silver bodycolor and 21-inch 950 Rally Spoke rims
(available as an accessory), the adventurer looks robust and
high-quality. For the new MINI Countryman, alloy wheels are available
in various designs and sizes ranging from 17 to 21 inches.
Breaking new ground with innovative materials.
In the interior of the new MINI Countryman S ALL4, clear shapes
underline the new design language. The dashboard with two-tone textile
creates a new and particularly homely feeling of space. The panoramic
glass roof brings more light into the interior, and high-quality
comfort seats provide a secure and comfortable grip.
High-quality materials, innovative technology and individually
adjustable lighting create an immersive driving experience. One of the
highlights of the new MINI Countryman are the MINI Experience Modes.
Each mode has its own design and ambient lighting. With a single
command, the look and atmosphere of the cockpit is completely changed.
The various modes emphasize different aspects of the diverse
adventurer. The new MINI Driving Sounds create a unique atmosphere
that supports personal driving settings particularly emotionally with
specially composed sounds.
In the cockpit of the MINI Countryman, the focus is on the
high-resolution, round OLED display. With 240 mm diameter and a
high-quality glass surface, the instrument cluster sets a new
standard. For convenient operation of the infotainment and assistance
systems, the MINI Interaction Unit moved closer to the driver and
passenger. With the new MINI Operating System 9, all vehicle
functions can be operated intuitively via touch or voice assistants.
