The coming years will see a strong wind of innovation at Mini. The brand comes with a completely new Countryman. The third-generation Countryman will be larger than the current model, will include an electric powertrain and can be seen up close on these spy plates.
Mini has a new electric hatchback in its development rooms and plans to expand its portfolio with new models. Of course, Mini also does not forget its existing pillars. There is also a new generation of the Countryman in the barrel. The current Countryman is already the largest model of the brand, but the new third generation Countryman, which will appear on the shelves in 2023, makes it even more colorful.

The current generation Countryman is definitely not mini anymore. As on previous espionage records, this new set of photos of a new Countryman caught during test work clearly shows that the next Countryman will be even bigger. Just like the current model, the new Countryman is a technical brother of the BMW 2-series Tourer and X1. A new generation of the 2-series has now appeared, the X1 still needs to be renewed, just like the Countryman. Just like the BMW X1, the new Mini Countryman will also be available with a fully electric powertrain. For those who go too far, Mini also has a plug-in hybrid powertrain in the barrel. That could just be the 326 hp strong hardware of the new 2-series Tourer.
In general, Mini seems to remain faithful to the well-known Countryman design, although not everything stays the same. The entire windows, for example, are new. The side mirrors are moved from the front doors to the A-pillars and the sides of the hood no longer extend to the wheel arches and grille. In addition, Mini gives the new Countryman more recessed handles in the body. The new Mini Countryman will be launched in 2023. By then there will undoubtedly be more known about the new Mini family, which may also include an MPV-like part!
