The New Large Mini cars are in. Let me type that again. LARGE MINI. Could there be an oxymoron that can beat that in the car industry? Maybe one could if they had a car called Ginormous and then is sized like a Perodua Viva. Anyway, Mini, the brand, has launched the all new Mini Countryman and Mini Paceman for 2015.
The Countryman is a four door Mini that is actually a compact (C segment) cross over SUV. This means that it is not small like the usual Minis we see. Anyway, this is actually a facelift of the current Countryman that has been around since 2010. It gets the usual - new LED lights, grille wheels and the usual other stuff that comes with a facelift. Oh, the 2015 Countryman is also Euro 6 compliant whereby the 1.6liter engines are tweaked to suit the new compliance. The Cooper S version gets 6hp more than before too - power is up to 190hp as well as being cleaner. Transmissions offered are the 6 speed manual and 6 speed automatic. This means that the countryside is going to thank the Countryman for supposedly polluting it less.
The Paceman was first launched in 2011 and it also getting a facelift. Basically these two large Mini cars are getting them. Same treatment - Euro 6 engines, new lights, grille, wheels and some other stuff. The Countryman is the 4 door compact crossover SUV. The Paceman is actually a 3 door compact crossover SUV. It is not an overgrown Mini Coupe but something like a full sized hatchback of stilts. Something like the Citroen DS3 in some ways but with less doors. It still differs from the Countryman in that the roofline slopes a tad bit and the waistline also slides upwards making a narrower glass area. All to make a chunky crossover look decidedly sporty. Or so they want us to believe.
Expect both models to be for sale in Malaysia within the next few months.
