Due to launch in September in Europe and early 2011 in the U.S., the MINI crossover, The Countryman, was produced in Graz, Austria and officially rolled off the line on August 2, 2010.

Outfitted with permanent MINI ALL4 all-wheel-drive, the Countryman uses an electro-hydraulic differential that varies power from front to rear in an “infinite process” according to MINI. And, due to the MINImalism fuel efficiency concept, it will meet all standards for fuel efficiency in Europe and the U.S.
