2015 Mini Paceman & Countryman details revealed

Mini recently revealed pictures and details of the 2015 Mini Paceman and Countryman, although it is hard to spot the differences.

First up, the Mini Paceman gets restyled hexagonal radiator grille, new headlamps and new design alloy wheels. Optional exterior features include LED parking lights and fog lamps with daytime running lights. Inside, the new Paceman now features sportier seats.

The 2015 Countryman gets the same visual upgrades as the Paceman. New customisation options include contrasting colours for the roof and the side mirror caps, and hood stripes.

Inside, customers can opt for 40:20:40 folding rear seats, while the boot volume can be extended from 350 litres to 1,170 litres.

Engine specs remain the same for both models, with the Cooper S variant, featuring the 1.6-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder unit, getting a slight bump in power to 187 hp, up 3 hp from the previous model. The range-topping JCW model for the Paceman and Countryman gets all-wheel drive and power output is rated at 215 hp.

The 2015 Mini Paceman and Mini Countryman should make its debut in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other GCC countries by the end of the year.
