New York 2014: 2015 MINI Countryman Debuted
The biggest MINI of them all, the Countryman, debuted its refreshed looks for the guests at the 2014 New York Auto Show.
The compact SUV still rides on its current platform, and still uses the 1.6-liter four-pot that pushes anywhere from 121 to 208 horsepower, depending upon whether the owner selects the Cooper, Cooper S or John Cooper Works trims. A six-speed manual is standard on all, with a six-speed auto available for a few more dollars. All-wheel drive is optional for the Cooper and Cooper S, standard for the John Cooper Works model.
Starting price for the 2015 Countryman is expected to be around $23,000, and will arrive in showrooms this July.

Still now tow rating for the USA, while it's rated to tow everywhere else? PASS.
Is it just me or does this look exactly the same as the old one... only with black painted headlights?
