After the recent launch of the second generation, we are pretty sure that famous British manufacturer will continue in the same way with 2018 Mini Countryman. In the world of small crossovers, there are plenty of competitors around and you really need something special to stand out. Mini started in a good way in 2010, and it looks like the second generation will be even a better score. After seven years of production, a company decided to make a complete reboot of this small crossover, and the new model comes even better. It comes with plenty of new things. There is a new styling, more refined design, improved engines and many other things. Since new model came just a few weeks ago, 2018 Countryman should come without bigger changes.
