Thaco has just officially introduced the all-new MINI Countryman to the Vietnamese market. The car will be distributed in two versions: the MINI Countryman C and the MINI Countryman S ALL4.
With dimensions of 4,444 mm in length, 1,843 mm in width, and 1,665 mm in height, the new MINI Countryman is 14 cm longer and 10 cm taller than its predecessor. The vehicle has a ground clearance of 202 mm.
The front bumper has been redesigned, featuring a large octagonal grille with sharp-angled air intakes below. A notable highlight of the car is the LED headlights, which are shaped like trapezoids with a distinctive LED outline and eye-catching main beams. The door handles are designed to be sleek and recessed into the body.
The pillar C seamlessly connects to the roof, and both are finished in Piano Black. The rear bumper stands out with the MINI logo and the Countryman name. The LED taillights are also trapezoidal, longer, and thinner than the previous version, with rounded corners that hug the rear end.
The MINI Countryman C features standard 18-inch Asteroid wheels, while the MINI Countryman S ALL4 boasts 20-inch Windmill Spoke two-tone wheels.
The interior boasts modern amenities such as a frameless round OLED display with a 240 mm diameter, providing clear entertainment, operational, and vehicle information.
All controls, from interior lighting to audio and display, can be managed via the touchscreen or voice commands. Alternatively, the MINI Toggle Bar can also be used to operate these features.
Both versions of the MINI Countryman come standard with the MINI Head-Up Display, projecting essential information onto the windshield to help drivers stay focused on the road.
Additionally, the MINI Connected smart connectivity technology has been integrated, allowing users to control certain functions and monitor the vehicle’s status via their mobile devices. The Connected Unlimited package is also included as standard.
The MINI Countryman C features standard Vescin leather upholstery with fabric accents, while the high-end MINI Countryman S ALL4 offers sports seats.
In all versions, the rear seats can be adjusted up to 12 degrees for recline and moved forward or backward by 13 cm to provide ample legroom for rear passengers. The rear seats can also be folded in a 40:20:40 ratio, expanding the luggage capacity to a generous 1,450 liters, making it ideal for long trips with lots of luggage.
The MINI Countryman C, with a power output of 115 kW (156 PS), accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds and delivers 230 Nm of torque, thanks to its TwinPower Turbo technology. The high-performance MINI Countryman S ALL4, on the other hand, is equipped with a 150 kW (204 PS) I4 TwinPower Turbo engine, generating an impressive 300 Nm of torque and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.1 seconds.
According to the manufacturer, the MINI Countryman C has an average fuel consumption of 6.94 liters/100 km, while the MINI Countryman S ALL4 consumes 8.6 liters/100 km.
