Mini is no longer what it was when it was born at the hands of Sir Alec Issigonis. The idea of the car for the people has surpassed all of us since we are now facing a premium firm in its own right. In fact, their models give the intangible that many urbanites ask for: exclusive look, good finishes, technology and small size. The future will also add electricity to this equation and the result of it will be, among others, the Mini Countryman...
As you well know Mini wants, it has to be, electric if it wants to stay alive. And the current countryman He has been a pioneer in the brand but his replacement will be even better than him. As you well know, the new generation is finalizing its development to reach the market as soon as possible. Besides, In its great mechanical offer there will be an electric version with which they want to capture the attention of the most ecologists. But while it arrives and not, here are new images...
The new Mini Countryman faces the toughest challenges to offer the best technical reliability...
As we said, Mini has invested a lot of time and money in the design of the new Countryman. It is the model that will open the doors of large markets and therefore must offer a very high level of finishes and reliability. Hence, the brand's engineers are taking it all over the world to test its technique and electrical components. And this means reaching climates and territories through which a series unit will never circulate.
In the last press release that Mini has published, they tell us about some of their adventures. They are not crazy things or impossible locations, but they play a double game. As you already know, the brand is English and in this case they associate a great part of the scenarios where his technique is being tested to iconic emblems of the country. This is how they talk about the great plains of the United Kingdom, the Falloch waterfalls and even dare to "follow the track" of James Bond.
In this case, Name one of the scenes from the movie "James Bond: Skyfall". This is the River Etive, one of the most challenging whitewater rivers in Scotland where kayaking is practiced. However, it is clear that the new Countryman will have the best off road qualities as long as we are clear that we are dealing with an SUV. Of course, the brand points out that this tested version is equipped with the ALL4 all-wheel drive system.
And meanwhile he lets himself be seen camouflaged...
As for technical data itself, Mini does not loosen pledge. The only thing we have is more than a hundred photos in which we can see him loaded with camouflage. In any case, it is not a drama because we already know what the design of this new generation will be like. It is the largest Mini in history and with the largest living space since the brand wants to climb a commercial step. His place will be taken by electric aceman that will arrive very soon.
Thus, we have a body that will be around 4,5 meters and that offers a muscular and athletic line. Full LED optics will no longer be so circular and the grill will be more generous than now. Curiously, the element that they have not bothered to camouflage is the large panoramic glass roof that, as an option, will form part of the equipment. Further we have details like door handles flush with sheet metal or a more generous "C" pillar.
Of its official debut, for now, Mini does not say anything although It will be public and known before 2023 comes to an end... Patience…
