Mini
Countryman Park Lane
Bold
athletic flair and supreme versatility define the character of the MINI
Countryman. As the first MINI with four doors, a large tailgate, five seats and
optional all-wheel drive, it took on the role of an irresistible front-line
force from the very outset - both in the conquest of additional target groups
for the British premium brand and in the area of off-road driving. Its
irrepressible forward thrust and flexibility are now expressed even more
strikingly in an exclusive edition model. The MINI Countryman Park Lane sees
its world premiere at the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show. It will be
available worldwide in up to four engine variants from July 2015.
The
MINI Countryman Park Lane indicates its high-end individual flair at first
sight with a specially developed design and colour concept. The body finish in
Earl Grey metallic is combined with the entirely new colour variant Oak Red for
the roof and exterior mirror caps, supplemented with optional sport stripes in the
same colour for the bonnet, tailgate and lower side sections. The
characteristic side turn indicator surrounds in chrome known as side scuttles
also comprise an inlay in Oak Red. The MINI Countryman Park Lane boldly
accentuates its classic athletic character with 18-inch light alloy wheels in
Turbo Fan Dark Grey design and the MINI ALL4 Exterior visual package including
silver body elements for the front and rear apron as well as the side sills.
Exclusive
emblems on the side scuttles and the cockpit surface bear the inscription
"Park Lane", as do the entry sills. The interior surfaces in Oxide
Silver for the door bezel and cockpit trim and Cross Stripe Grey for the side
surrounds of the centre console were also designed exclusively for the MINI
Countryman Park Lane. These go together with the inlay colour Carbon Black for
the door trim and centre console to create a sports-style premium ambience in
the interior.
The
edition model can also be combined with a particularly high-end equipment
package. As the MINI Countryman Park Lane Chili, the all-rounder additionally
comprises features such as LED fog lamps and white direction indicators. The
Chrome Line Exterior is available as an optional extra at no additional charge.
What is more, the models MINI Cooper S Countryman, MINI Cooper S Countryman
ALL4, MINI Cooper SD Countryman and MINI Cooper SD Countryman ALL4 are fitted
with xenon lights. The interior fittings are supplemented with sports seats in
the fabric/leather finish Parallel Lines Light Tobacco, automatic air
conditioning, an on-board computer, a rain sensor with automatic driving light
control, the Sport Button, a sports steering wheel with multifunction buttons,
velour floor mats and a storage and lighting package.
The
precisely coordinated exterior and interior features of the MINI Countryman
Park Lane underscore both the versatile functionality and the exclusive
charisma of the premium compact model. With its high-end features and versatile
customisation options, this all-round talent offers five seats, including a
rear seat that can be shifted longitudinally and has a folding backrest with a
40 : 20 : 40 split. As a result the luggage volume can be expanded from 350 to
up to 1,170 litres as required, allowing the MINI Countryman not just to tackle
the challenges of everyday urban traffic but also transport bulky sports
equipment or carry everything required for a family holiday.
Powerful,
efficient engines and high-quality suspension technology ensure that the
hallmark brand agility known as the go-kart feeling is brought to life in the
compact segment, too - further enhanced by an additional facet with the
permanent all-wheel drive system ALL4 that was developed especially for MINI.
What is more the car's raised seating position offers a supreme view of the
road, giving the characteristic MINI drive feel a whole new dimension. For the
MINI Countryman (combined fuel consumption: 7.3-4.2 l/100 km, combined CO2
emissions: 169-111 g/km) there are three petrol and three diesel engines
available, covering an output range of 90 hp to 1190 hp. Four power
units can be optionally combined with ALL4. Over and above this, the 218
hp MINI John Cooper Works Countryman provides extreme driving fun: here the
engine power is transmitted to all four wheels as standard.
The
MINI Countryman Park Lane is offered in up to eight model variants, depending
on the market. The edition model is available both with the characteristic MINI
front-wheel drive as well as the all-wheel drive system ALL4. 4-cylinder petrol
engines with 122 hp or 190 hp power the models MINI Cooper
Countryman and MINI Cooper Countryman ALL4 as well as the MINI Cooper S
Countryman and MINI Cooper S Countryman ALL4. 4-cylinder diesel engines deliver 112 hp in the MINI Cooper D Countryman and MINI Cooper D Countryman ALL4,
and 143 hp in the MINI Cooper SD Countryman and MINI Cooper SD
Countryman ALL4.
