Mini Paceman revealed
The arrival of the Paceman takes the number of different Mini models up to eight, including the recently-announced Clubvan.
Dubbed a ‘sports activity coupĂ©’, the three-door, four-seat newcomer is based on the not-so-mini Countryman, and shares its wheelbase and front-end styling.
From the A-pillars back, though, the design is unique. It’s characterised by a lower roof that slopes downwards towards the rear, creating a tapered profile that finishes with an integrated roof spoiler. At the rear, the traditional Mini vertical light clusters have been abandoned in favour of horizontally-placed items, and sitting between them is a huge Mini badge plus the model name in large letters across the width of the tailgate.
It might not be the prettiest of cars, but at least the Paceman’s looks could never be described as bland.
As expected, the interior is typically Mini, with familiar elements such as the large centre speedometer present. There’s also the ‘Centre Rail’ storage system, which runs along the length of the transmission tunnel, and front sports seats are standard across the range.
Four versions of the Mini Paceman will be available when UK sales begin in March 2013, and they’ll be joined by a high performance John Cooper Works variant at a later date. All come with a six-speed manual gearbox and lowered sports suspension, although both a six-speed automatic transmission and a regular chassis set-up are available as options:
