Mini unveils 2013 Countryman

Mini has unveiled the 2013 Countryman ahead of its official launch later this month.  Launched two-years ago the Countryman is a slightly larger version of its two-door sibling.  The crossover has now been re-designed with minor tweaks to make it more user friendly. 

One of the biggest changes the company has to the 2013 MY Country man is the repositioning of power window switches.  They have long been located in the centre console for most of the manufacturer’s models and now the new Countryman has broken the trend by moving the buttons to the door armrest. 

Other notable features include a Carbon black ring around the central speedo and a new interior trim. The bucket seats in the back have been replaced by a bench. However, fans of central rail feature can opt for the bucket seats at no extra cost. The car is also being offered in two new colours; Brilliant Copper metallic and Blazing Red metallic.

Under the hood, the Mini Countryman will still be offered with three petrol engines and three diesel engines. Power is transmitted to the wheels via a six-speed manual or automatic. It is likely that Mini will introduce this model for the Indian market early next year as it brought into the country as a CBU.
