These are the first official teaser pictures of the upcoming Mini Countryman 4x4.
Although the video stills reveal few details, they confirm that the recent Mini Beachcomber concept was essentially a stripped-down version of the production car, which will be unveiled at the Geneva motor show in March and go on sale this September from around £17,000.
The new model, which will most likely be called the Countryman, is a shade over four metres long and shifts Mini into more family-orientated territory.
The Countryman will be the first of the BMW-generation Minis to be built outside of the UK. Instead of being made at Cowley, the Countryman will be manufactured by Magna at its Graz plant in Austria.

Re: Mini Countryman: first pics
And the BMW marketing machine rolls on...
Trouble is Autocar falls for it every time - what was it, 4 pages in the mag devoted to that frightful Moke concept?
BMW are really flogging this - and it doesn't matter how many teasers or concepts it releases - it's still a dog!

Looks to me like any other mini but stretched by a foot or so.

Me too. Thanks BMW. I hate teaser pics.
