Base Countryman models will come with a 122-hp 4-cylinder engine while the MINI Cooper S Countryman will get a turbocharged version for a total of 184-hp. Cargo room is rated at 12 cubic feet, with a total of 41 cu.-ft with the rear seats folded flat.
The Countryman is set to arrive at dealerships in December and when it does MINI will be the only automaker on the continent offering a crossover with AWD and a manual transmission!

I drive a tdi jetta, 2009. The torque and power are incredible! I get a minimum of 29 miles per gallon. Why don't you put the diesel in it! Gas is going to $4.50 why not have more power and get 30 percent better mileage than it's gasoline brethren?
