As it did with the 2015 Paceman, Mini released a huge photo gallery of its mildly facelifted Countryman, which gets a revised grille, new alloy wheels and new colors, as well as a power increase for the Cooper S Countryman and optimized fuel consumption.
The 2015 Countryman also gains additional customization options including contrasting colors for the roof and exterior mirror caps, bonnet stripes and Sport Stripes as well as Piano Black Exterior – available for Mini for the first time.
The interior received subtle enhancements such as the dark dials for road speed and engine speed, John Cooper Works logo in the central instrument for the JCW Countryman and chrome applications for the ventilation controls.
The facelifted Countryman is available with the same engines as the Paceman, two petrol and two diesel units, each with four cylinders and EU6-compliant. All models are offered as standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, with a 6-speed auto offered as an option (except the Mini One D Countryman, which is only offered with the manual gearbox).
Mini’s ALL4 all-wheel drive system is optional for the Mini Cooper Countryman, Mini Cooper S Countryman, Mini Cooper D Countryman and Mini Cooper SD Countryman, and standard in the Mini John Cooper Works Countryman.
The Mini Cooper S Countryman gets a slight power increase to 190PS (188hp).
