The MINI Countryman has undergone a slight modernization

The MINI Countryman became the first model that could offer customers of the British automaker ALL4 all-wheel drive and four doors. The smaller SUV has a length of over 4 meters and after almost two years it is undergoing its first modernization, which has had its effect mainly on the interior.

The facelifted Countryman will arrive in the U.S. market later this month and will feature a three-passenger rear bench as standard, while a pair of individual seats will be available as an option at no extra charge. In the interior, we will also find other updated elements, such as new trim; upholstery; door panels or redesigned rings surrounding the central speedometer and four air vents. The main change is the location of the electric window control , it has been moved from the center panel to the door and thus the storage space in the center has increased.

Two new shades are ready for the exterior – Brilliant Copper and Blazing Red. Unfortunately, there were no changes under the hood. Pricing for the facelifted 2013 MINI Countryman will be revealed in the coming weeks.
