Take your mind back to the MINI Paceman concept, essentially a two-door Countryman. Sign-off on production was confirmed over a year ago and now we have the model’s official name, which is the Countryman Coupé. Not terribly adventurous, but sounds fair.
Production is expected to commence in November this year and the R61 Countryman Coupé will host a full suite of model variations, including Cooper, Cooper D, Cooper S and Cooper SD, as well as All4 versions of each. And, more than likely, all to be topped off by a 160kW JCW model.
Rumours suggest there will be a few styling tweaks made from concept to production. MINI may even go to the effort of giving the Countryman Coupé individually styled headlights. The biggest change, though, comes in the probable form of a pair of club-doors, one on each side, making the Countryman Coupé a quasi five door model.
