Next generation MINI Countryman S ALL4 makes North American debut on cross-country US roadshow

New MINI Countryman goes on tour to more than 90 MINI dealer locations across North America to give consumers close-up preview of brand's first SUV.

MINI customers and enthusiasts will have the opportunity to see the new MINI Countryman up-close and personal during the roadshow ahead of the new model's arrival for sale later this spring. Starting April 9 through the end of May, the roadshow will follow four regional routes concurrently, across MINI's central, southern, eastern and western region dealer networks.

Presented directly to MINI's loyal fanbase around the country, the bold stance of the all-new MINI Countryman S ALL4 model underlines its presence and all-road character. Built to handle anything from daily drives to cross-country trips, the all-new MINI Countryman S ALL4 offers noticeably more interior space, with 40:20:40 split fold-down rear seats that offer flexible configurations for both passengers and cargo.

'The all-new MINI Countryman is an exciting frontier for the brand. It's our biggest and most powerful MINI ever, with increased space and utility offering the instantly recognizable look and fun-to-drive character of MINI…in both gas engine and battery electric models,' said Mike Peyton, Vice President of MINI of the Americas. 'That's why we wanted to bring it directly to our customers and fans – so we can celebrate with them the first of our all-New MINI Family to arrive at dealers in the United States.'

For US customers, the MINI Countryman S ALL4 offers a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo engine, generating a maximum output of 241 horsepower and 295 ft-lbs. of torque. The ALL4 all-wheel drive system provides enhanced traction, safety, and driving agility on all kinds of roads, in all kinds of weather. Thanks to its precise and responsive electronic control, power is distributed between the front and rear wheels as needed to adjust to varied road conditions. The increased wheelbase and track width contribute to the MINI Countryman's excellent driving dynamics and increased comfort.

The interior of the new MINI Countryman S ALL4 is defined by the same clear shapes that underline its new design language. The dashboard with two-tone textile creates a warm and welcoming feeling of space. The panoramic glass roof brings more light into the interior, and high-quality comfort seats provide a secure and comfortable seating position for driver and passengers.

As with the entire next generation MINI Family, new customizable MINI Experience Modes and a wide range of digital functions featured in the industry-first, 9.4' round OLED center screen create an even more immersive user experience for driver and passenger alike. As part of the optional MINI Experience Modes, two projector units beam various illuminated graphics onto the dashboard. The interplay of visual design, ambient lighting and sound design changes the appearance of the cockpit and opens new possibilities for personalizing the MINI Countryman S ALL4.

The new MINI Countryman S ALL4 began production March this year, with first vehicles arriving at dealers in early May. It comes with a base MSRP of $38,900 plus $995 destination and handing. For full technical specifications, pricing, options and equipment, please visit MINIUSANEWS.com.
