The long-anticipated Mini SUV is here, and it is called the Countryman.
Revealed today ahead of its September launch in the UK, the Countryman looks like... well, a slightly bigger Mini.
It's the first Mini to get four doors, and the first to get four-wheel drive, albeit an option: standard Countrymen (which, surely, must be the plural) remain front-wheel drive.
The ‘ALL4' all-wheel-drive system - only available on the Cooper S and Cooper D - normally splits torque 50-50 between front and rear wheels, but can bung it all to the rears if things get slippery.
