The All New 2011 MINI Countryman

The new Mini Countryman will now be a four door model which incidentally is now the fourth generation of this kind.  This is no longer like a mini its more, this has a massive body compared to the previous models.

The Mini will have a new elevated seat which will mean that All4 all wheel drive also but this was created so that those that wanted a crossover feel when they were driving though no in a massive car but a nice small little run around vehicle.

This is now going to be offered with the inline four 1.6 liter engine which for the standard model of the Countryman.  The other choice over the engine is going to be the turbocharged which is going to offer a massive one hundred and eighty one of horsepower.

This new Mini Countryman is going to be considerably bigger and will really have a lot more room with almost seventy one cubic feet of space in the back seats of the car when they are actually folded down and out of the way.  That is really great when it comes to adding a little more space for transporting items and goods.

This new Mini is really going to have a lot more space on offer than many of the previous models, and there is even now a little more room on offer for shoulder room by around eight inches so not every will be squeezed into the car.

With this extra room here it will mean that the passengers will be able to feel a little more comfortable when they are in the car so that is a massive plus.

This is going to have the body style of a four door hatchback but that will come in the models of the Countryman S All4, the Countryman, the Countryman S and the Countryman All4 model also.  The transmission will be the six speed automatic and the six speed manual so that is a nice choice to choose from.  Even the engines will come with an option also, the turbocharged I-4 1.6 liter engine or the I-4 1.6 liter engine.

Most of the car has got a nice new feel to it; this is actually going to be one of the biggest Mini’s available today, in fact it is the biggest ever.  Everyone knows the previous Mini’s are not great big SUV’s and the space can be sometimes a little cramped though this new Countryman is going to be bigger which really helps to bring in a few more customers.

There will be an option over the transmission with the automatic transmission or even the six speed manual transmission also; and the engine type is going to be the I-4 1.6 liter with the turbocharged option.  The Mini Countryman is also going to have the option over the all wheel drive.

The Mini has now got a fantastic little unique helmet roof; there are not a lot of changes however but this is very nice to have for the Mini so it is still a classic Mini but with only a few new finishes to it.  This new Countryman is going to look a little bigger however and something very much like the Clubman four door model.

The interior is good however, there will now be more than forty seven point four more of cubic feet for space; the Mini now going to be a little practical than before.  There is still the ever classic Mini feeling to the car which is going to be a little bit sad that this is not a new design but still good enough.

The only problem with this Mini Countryman is that this really will still handle and drive just like a Mini there will be the go kart feeling to the car however which is still standard.  This will have the all wheel drive but it will be a little heavy and bigger than some of the Mini Coopers; though there will be the four wheel drifts which do make for some fun driving experiences.

Though with this new Mini Countryman there will be a good choice for the transmission; there is now the turbocharged 1.6 liter engine which will have a little more power with it though there will be also the conventional manual gearbox or even the last choice of the six speed paddle shift automatic transmission.

The Mini Countryman has got great stability and traction control and for these few features they are not going to cost any more money; though there will be the standard safety features also.  They are going to be the rear side curtain and the front airbags also though there will be the great and reliable side and front airbags also.

The EPA fuel economy has not as been rated which is a little disappointing however since these numbers are not as yet known.  These numbers should be tested and released soon hopefully so keep a look out for these numbers.
