MINI introduced the Countryman Boardwalk Edition last December and now the company has announced the crossover is headed stateside. Based on the Countryman Cooper S, the Boardwalk Edition features a Deep Laguna Metallic exterior which is contrasted by a black roof and matching mirror caps.
Other highlights include Piano Black
exterior trim, special side scuttles and 18-inch alloy wheels with a black
finish. Buyers will also find LED lighting units, auto-dimming mirrors and a
Comfort Access keyless entry system.
Moving into the cabin, the crossover has
been outfitted with “cross punch” black leather seats as well as Boardwalk
badging on the dashboard and door sill plates. The special edition also comes
standard with the Touchscreen Navigation Package.
Under the hood, there’s a turbocharged
2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 192 hp and 279 Nm of torque. It’s connected to an automatic transmission which
enables the model to accelerate from 0-96 km/h in as little as 7.1
seconds.
The 2022 MINI Countryman Boardwalk Edition
will arrive at U.S. dealerships next month and pricing will begin at US$ 38,365
for the front-wheel drive variant and US$ 40,365 for the all-wheel drive model –
excluding a destination and handling fee of US$ 850.
