So the MINI brand has once again demonstrated its ability - and stronger than ever - growing needs of its fan base and remain faithful to their identity. MINI Countryman more new and exciting aspects of the brand, and presents an innovative concept of the body.
Design.
The concept of the MINI Countryman put clear water between the model, brand new and existing line-up. This new orientation is reflected in the design of body confidence. Measuring 4097 mm (161.3 ") long (Countryman MINI Cooper S: 4110 mm/161.8"), 1789 (70.4 ") wide and 1,561 mm (61.5") body high, four-door combines the usual proportions of the brand with increased ground clearance and high seating position. MINI Countryman bridges that gap between the classic MINI concept vehicle and a state of the art of sports activity.
As the broadest spectrum of possibilities offered by the innovative concept of the body of the MINI Countryman, the design represents the further development of the design language of distinctive brand of MINI. The new model offers a new interpretation of the basic design of the MINI.
These are the amazing three-body split levels, the greenhouse and the roof, the front appears (sculpted by large headlamps, radiator grille and upright windshield hexagon), with vertical taillights and outline "CSS" in the back, which expands like the head on the steering wheel roof. Characteristic of MINI design details, such as the headlights and tail lights integrated in these "islands" in the body, half scamper between the front fender and door, and tapering greenhouse gases back toward the rear of the car betrays a Countryman clear identity of the MINI family. At the same time, to change their game design makes them interesting.
These ingredients combine to highlight both the distinctiveness of the new model and her family roots in the sense incomparable. The design of the Countryman exudes originality MINI performance, ruggedness and versatility reliable. However, the charm and appeal MINI individual usual resounding remain intact.
Front-end with the characteristic appearance and a mature presence.
A clear structure to its front end to give the MINI Countryman mature and elegant look of the set. Upright radiator grille, bonnet-shaped headlights and surprisingly large front are distinctive. Emerging as a major, satisfies the requirements of current legislation on pedestrian protection and the attitude strong crossover borrowing. Powerdome tapers forward in front of the bonnet to reveal engine performance is below.
Along with the headlamps, which occupy traditional MINI outer edges of the chapel, the PowerDome gives the surface of the car an unmistakable look. The headlights are redesigned chrome surrounds and extends far apparently the shoulders of the car, ready to focus extra width. The shape of the headlights is a marked departure from the classic form of circular patterns in the range of MINI. The top edge slopes outward, adding others to the presence of the wheel wells. In the inner edge, meanwhile, seem to shrink away from the grid of wide circulation.

In a split second, the period of adjustment of the race management of the valves and the opening of the intake valves to the volume of production necessary camshaft acting on the valves through an additional intermediate arm, and not directly by the cam follower. The pivot of this additional intermediate arm is infinitely adjustable by an eccentric shaft driven by an electric motor.
Gasoline engines in the new MINI Countryman has an accelerator, but not used - as in conventional engines - to control the load. In contrast, in normal circumstances, is completely open at all times to minimize loss of flow in the intake manifold, with only a backup emergency and diagnostics. This is the case of the two variants of naturally aspirated and turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder, which differ mainly in their preparation of mixtures.
Countryman MINI Cooper S: combine the variable valve timing and direct injection with turbocharging for the first time.
The MINI Cooper S Countryman is the first model of the mark when combined management fully variable valve turbocharged direct-injection gasoline. This stunning blend of technology with the 1.6 liter four-cylinder twin-scroll turbocharger to achieve a balance between production and consumption of fuel that is unmatched in this capacity. Fuel economy of this new engine test cycle of the EU is about 9 percent better than its predecessor.
In a turbocharged twin-scroll ducts of two cylinders are combined with each other in the exhaust manifold. This design allows the wind to reach its maximum speed of 210,000 revolutions per minute at low speed. The power of total load (about 0.8 bar gauge) is on tap from as low down the level of the engine speed of 1600 rpm. Instead of the famous "turbo lag" response time is typical of conventional engines with turbocharging, this technology allows the driver to take delivery of instantaneous power. The compressed air is reduced to a low temperature in a heat exchanger before entering the combustion chamber. Increase the oxygen content of the specific way to optimize power.
