Mini has revealed its fourth model line, with the Countryman also becoming the brand’s first four-door model, and the first available with four-wheel drive.

Arriving later this year with a choice of three petrol and two diesel engine including the 90PS 1.6 diesel, the Countryman will come as a four-seat model, with the no-cost option of swapping the two individual rear seats for a three-seat bench.

The rear seats tilt and slide to increase luggage room, while the Cooper S Countryman and Cooper D Countryman models will be available with permanent four-wheel drive through the ALL4 system.

More details will become available as we move towards the car’s launch in September.
