Mini Paceman (render)
Mini is scaling things back again. The Coupe and
Roadster are long gone, and we're not expecting the Paceman to stick around
much longer, either. But if BMW did decide to renew that model for another
generation, this is probably what it would look like.
Introduced in 2012, the Paceman is a three-door
crossover based closely on the Countryman. It's based on the same platform,
offers the same powertrain options, and looks mostly the same – only with a
more rakish roofline and two fewer doors.
That has put it in a rather obscure niche that
hasn't made the Paceman one of Mini's more successful models. So we're not
expecting this one to resurface based on the new Countryman.
But if the powers that be in Munich did decide to
give the oddball retro crossover coupe a new lease on life, it'd likely closely
resemble the images you see here, rendered by Theophilus Chin.
