Refreshed 2015 MINI Countryman and Paceman to Arrive This Summer

PEABODY, 05/13/2014 / SubmitMyPR /

Since its debut in 2010 as a larger, more capable MINI vehicle, the MINI Countryman has become one of the brand's most popular models, currently leading the lineup in sales through April of this year. In 2012, driving enthusiasts received the option of a sportier, two-door version of the Countryman in the form of the MINI Paceman. For the 2015 model year, both compact crossovers have been refreshed with upgrades in style, comfort and technology inside and out.

When they go on sale this summer, the 2015 MINI Countryman and Paceman will sport modified versions of their hexagonal radiator grilles, with unique touches differentiating the base Cooper, Cooper S and John Cooper Works trims. Enhancing those sleeker front ends will be optional LED fog lights and daytime running lights, while lighter 17-inch alloy wheels in a new 5-Star Triangle Spoke Design will adorn the Cooper and Cooper S trims on both vehicles. The 2015 Countryman and Paceman will also be available with a new Piano Black finish on select exterior surfaces and new body colors, including Jungle Green and Midnight Grey metallic, as well as the new-to-the-Countryman Starlight Blue metallic.

"The new MINI Countryman and Paceman will be just as capable and engaging as before with their versatile interiors and available ALL4 all-wheel drive, but owners will have even more bold options for standing out stylistically on the road," said Gary King, general manager of MINI of Peabody, a Massachusetts MINI dealer. "Also, buyers of both the 2015 Countryman and Paceman will find a cabin that is more sporty and sophisticated across all trim levels."

Drivers and passengers of the new 2015 MINI Countryman and Paceman will enjoy a quieter ride thanks to the use of sound-absorbing materials on the door panels and in the trunk. Previously reserved for only the John Cooper Works trims, anthracite-colored dials for the engine-speed and road-speed display will be featured on all 2015 models, while the standard Countryman and Paceman will now come with chrome trim on their ventilation controls. Both MINI vehicles will offer more advanced connectivity as well, receiving the latest MINI Connected infotainment system to integrate with a wide variety of smartphone apps.
