At launch the Countryman range will include three petrol and two diesel models, as well as two ALL4 all-wheel drive models – the Cooper D ALL4 and Cooper S ALL4.

Two models in the new Countryman range will offer four-wheel drive, for the first time in Mini’s 51 year history. The Mini Cooper D and Cooper S ALL4 models will be available as models from day one. A Mini Cooper ALL4 version will follow in 2012.
