LEAKED PHOTOS: Mini Countryman. Plus a teaser VIDEO!

The Mini range keeps growing, and the latest compact deluxe player out there is suggestively entitled Countryman. You could call it the Mini Crossover, because that’s exactly what it is.

Four doors and a true sporty feel are the main traits of the new Mini Countryman. Expanded front spotlights are also new on this Mini, and they give it a more masculine touch, even if also a bit of a froggy stare (it’s all in the eye of the beholder). We must note, sure as we are that you noticed that already in the pictures below, the new grille. Something touches towards a Porsche Cayenne allure, or maybe it’s jut us…

Modern and spicy is what this car is actually all about. Or so do Mini try to say. Judging by the teaser video, they think people are really curious what the new Mini is all about. Well, we included the VIDEO for your curiosity above, but take a look at the real thing: real photos of the real Mini, the Countryman – for your real viewing pleasure.

The car won’t be shipping in the US until late autumn this year, but Europe is getting it sooner. More information as we get it.
