Sports Utility Vehicle

Countryman Suv
Its not Mini Wheels – theyre actually the branded Mini Wheels on the SUV that Mini is making ! .. And its not going to be a small SUV.

When I first saw this on some sites that I was browsing on, I had to take a double take to make sure that I read it right. Then after I realized I did indeed read it right, I decided to do my own research to determine whether this was some type of rumor that was going on in the automotive industry.

When you first look at the SUV with the Mini Wheels on it, it doesnt look like an SUV whatsoever. It has a 102.2 – inch wheelbase thats 5.1 longer than the regular Mini hardtop and at 161.8 inches overall.

Whether the person looking at the vehicle when they get to the dealership is a Mini fan or not, theyll probably be content when they discover all the features that it comes with and the comfort of the test drive:

1. Because of the larger frame that was offered on the SUV, the interior room on the thing offered allowed a much larger segment of the potential customer base to try a MINI for the first time .. which I think is exactly what Mini wanted to do.

2. The SUV has the same interior styling as the regular Mini vehicle & Mini Wheels that youve seen previously. The only thing that was different is that the new SUV offered five extra inches of leg room for back passengers or extra cargo space behind the back seats – and who doesnt want extra leg room?

3. The center rails and the doors that are offered on the Countryman are there for unique ambient lighting that pleased the senses of both drivers and passengers. If you have happy passengers, what else do you need? The ride is enjoyable if theyre satisfied.

4. The original SUV came with 120-horsepower & a 1.6-liter engine. If youre the type of person thats power-hungry when it comes to cars, you have the option of choosing from the 120-horsepower or the 180-horsepower engine. Since the average weight of this SUV is noticeably smaller than the other SUVs that are in the industry, the power of either engine will satisfy the driver.

Since the SUV has the MacPherson struts in the front and a multilink system in back, the SUV drives pretty stable and also has quick reflexes even though its somewhat tall and has a long wheelbase – which I think is a plus ! Of course its not going to be as good as Minis smaller models that fit anywhere, but its still better than decent.

If you were to look inside of the Countryman, youre going to find that it has the same design as the smaller minis. If you havent seen the inside of a Mini, Ill just describe it to you – it really isnt that much: speedometer (about the size of some supermarket produce scales) centered on the dash with a tachometer on top of the steering wheel (where the dash is usually) .. & thats it. I guess you can say that its a self-conscious design; but if you think about it, Mini isnt looking to please everyone. If you like it, then youre going to like it. If you dont like it then dont sweat it.

I personally love the design on the inside and on the Mini Wheels – what about you?
