BMW Mini Countryman Review Price and Specifications

Under the brand BMW Mini automakers produce are not just small cars. Even the smallest of the current models - 3-door "hatchback" – is superior in length by 67 cm to the good classic Morris Mini Minor of the late 50s. So call it a "mini" only figuratively. The new Countryman is also 55 mm longer in wheel base than the early Range Rover (which came out four decades ago). So you will surely need some respect when you utter the word mini before its name.The MINI Countryman is a fresh and original interpretation of the classical features of the legendary British brand. 4097 mm in length (MINI Cooper S Countryman: 4110 mm), 1789 mm in width and 1561 mm in height at the four-door body, it has the familiar proportions with increased ground clearance and high seating.

Along with classical proportions, typical MINI design elements of the anterior, posterior and lateral parts of the body guarantee error-free recognition of novelty.
