Man drinks tea with all new 2017 Mini Countryman

Fresh of the press is the all new 2017 Mini Countryman and from the looks of it, it's as English as it can get.

Tea, rainy weather and a ginger are what sums up the gallery that was added to the launch of the new Mini Countryman. Mini's SUV has been made anew and it continues on the force-feeding-English-tradition-tour that mother company BMW has been cleverly directing. But the mother company has done more than just direct a cleaver marketing campaign, the've build an entire new model. In fact, the 2017 Mini Countryman has grown massively and has a new type of engine.

The Mini SUV now comes in at 20 centimes more length, the same height and 3 centimeters more track. With the new added styling and these dimensions, it's clear that the Mini lineup is getting a family face. Its new styling comes directly from the other Mini's recently launched, even the confusingly large rear-lights are included. Mini's new, but classic, interior styling has also found its way to the 2017 Mini Countryman and you guessed it; it includes dozens of ambient light options and tons of connectivity options you'll probably use only twice.Last on the list the engines on offer. As stated earlier, it includes a new one. Called 'S E', it's a direct clone of technology BMW uses in the plugin-hybrid lineup. A 1.5-liter 3-cylinder is hooked up to an electric engine with a combined output of 224 horsepower. Other engines include the usual Mini engine pallet.Expect the latest Mini to hit the road early next year!
