MINI Cooper is introducing an SUV: the Mini Countryman. This is the first four-door Mini, and it’s meant to appeal to closet SUV fans who don’t want to be painted with the Escalade/Hummer brush. The MINI Countryman will be available in in the US in January 2011.
The MINI Cooper SUV will be available with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, as well as an optional sport suspension. The cargo area will have 12.2 cubic feet of storage capacity, 41 cubic feet if the back seats are folded down. It will come with either six-speed manual transmission or tiptronic automatic transmission: I don’t think I’ve ever seen astick-shift SUV before.
