Mini introduces a Countryman Business model

No prizes for guessing the type of customer that Mini is targeting with the new Countryman Business.

Based on the existing Cooper D variant equipped with the ALL4 all-wheel drive system, its extra kit is intended to lure corporate users away from more obvious fleet-orientated marques (which nowadays includes BMW, by the way).

Automatic lights and wipers, parking sensors, a multi-function leather-wrapped steering wheel, the storage compartment pack and automatic air conditioning are also fitted as standard.

Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle.
