BERLIN, Germany - Mini has only just released the new-look Countryman, but it’s forging ahead with radical plans for an all-new model, due in 2017 – and spy images give a first impression of how it will look.
With the unveiling of the first five-door Mini hatch, the automaker can afford to be a little more daring with the new Countryman as its cars currently occupy a similar position in the market.
To help separate the two, the Countryman will take a more rugged approach to styling to tackle the challenge of the forthcoming BMW X1 replacement and the new Audi Q1.
