MINI COOPER S Countryman '11

Announced in 2006, the second-generation "new" Mini Cooper, which BMW reinvented in 2001, came in the form of a coupe, hatchback and convertible. But since the original or "classic" Mini was available in a variety of various forms that included even a wagon and a pickup, BMW expanded the lineup in 2007 to include the Mini Cooper "Clubman." The Clubman offered the added convenience of more interior volume with the model's signature first-rate handling and excellent power delivery.

The Clubman is somewhat unique in that it features a rear-opening third door on the passenger-side of the car (the driver's side has only one door). It is also equipped with pneumatically-assisted split rear cargo doors, allowing easy loading and unloading of large luggage. This allows the Clubman to be more user-friendly for those who need space to store their luggage.

In early 2010, Mini introduced the first 4-door version of the Mini called the "Countryman," that gave the compact car some SUV flair. It's significantly larger than the standard Mini, with a body size that's 14 inches longer, 4 inches wider and 4 inches taller. Wheelbase was also extended by 5 inches. In Japan, the car is not called the Countryman, but was given the name "Crossover," the same designation as that of the prototype announced in 2008. The car reached dealerships in September 2010.

With an expanded model lineup that now features a convertible version, these larger Clubman/Countryman versions of the Mini provide all of the fun of the original while delivering additional room for kids and a more refined ride quality that their parents can appreciate.
