A new Mini Countryman for 2016 is planned
We are all aware that Mini are set to launch their new John Cooper Works model later this year with a convertible option to also go on sale. More news has recently emerged today though that shows that the company are planning for a new revised version of the Countryman to also go on sale but will not arrive until next year. The new model was seen out in the snowy conditions but was wearing a lot of disguise covering up some of the new features that the iconic brand are going to include with the new model. The car is looking larger than past Countryman additions therefore expected to result in a lot more interior leg and headroom. The same petrol and diesel engines currently found in the Countryman will also be carried over to the revised model in 2016. With the car looking ready for the production phase, it could be around the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany this September that we see the new Countryman revealed for the first time.
