We got our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/19\/mini-countryman-official-photos-leaked\/\">first look<\/a> at the brand&#8217;s first crossover back in January, and we can now fill you in with the full details about the mini-ute. The Countryman is obviously Mini&#8217;s largest vehicle at just over four meters in length, and its optional ALL4 all-wheel drive system is a first for the brand as well. <\/p>\n<p>Looking at the car in person, not too much has changed in the front of the cabin for the Countryman compared to its two-door counterparts. Aft of the front seats, however, the second set of doors opens up to two individual buckets that should be relatively hospitable for normal sized adults. Leg room doesn&#8217;t seem to be in abundance, but this is a Mini, of course. A variety of gas and diesel engines will be available in Europe, but American customers can expect the same 1.6-liter inline-fours available in the current Mini range. Check out our live photos in the gallery below or get more details about the Countryman in the press release after the jump.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-mini-countryman\/low\/\">Geneva 2010: Mini Countryman<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-mini-countryman\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/01countrymangenevalive_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-mini-countryman\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/02countrymangenevalive_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-mini-countryman\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/03countrymangenevalive_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-mini-countryman\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/04countrymangenevalive_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-mini-countryman\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/05countrymangenevalive_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n<em><strong><small>Photos by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drewphillipsphotography.com\/\">Drew Phillips<\/a> \/ <\/small><\/strong><\/em><em><strong><small>Copyright (C)2010<\/small><\/strong><\/em><em><strong><small> Weblogs, Inc.<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/02\/geneva-2010-mini-countryman-breaks-cover\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Geneva 2010: Mini Countryman breaks cover<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/02\/geneva-2010-mini-countryman-breaks-cover\/\">Geneva 2010: Mini Countryman breaks cover<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 02 Mar 2010 06:45:00 EST.
