The highly anticipated MINI SUV, the MINI Countryman has been released.  If you're a MINI lover who needs just a little more space for passengers and cargo, now MINI has you covered.  Here's what MINI has to say about the hot new model.



MINI is adding a fourth model to the family, opening up a new dimension of that unmistakable MINI feeling. As a genuine Crossover, the MINI Countryman bridges the gap between the classic concept of the MINI and a modern Crossover Vehicle. Boasting enhanced opportunities in urban mobility and beyond, the MINI Countryman offers that unique driving pleasure so typical of MINI to new target groups requiring extra space and flexibility.



As the first model in the MINI range with four doors and a wide-opening rear lid, the MINI Countryman provides even greater freedom of space for truly versatile use, a slightly elevated seating position, and optimized driving comfort. Full integration of the passengers within the vehicle creates that driving experience so typical of MINI. And at the same time the MINI Countryman maintains that go-kart feeling likewise so characteristic of MINI, and optional ALL4 all-wheel-drive offers an additional highlight for the genuine connoisseur. In a nutshell, the MINI Countryman offers all the characteristic features of the brand in terms of design, premium quality, handling, efficiency and customization in a new, fascinating style.



We expect to have the new SUV in our Checkered Flag MINI showroom by March of 2011.  If you have any questions, please contact your MINI Virginia Beach dealer, Checkered Flag.
