DriveSpark's Thoughts On The New Mini Cooper Countryman
Mini models have recently gained an increased popularity in India, due to its fun and compact nature.
The new Countryman still retains the classic 'Mini look'. With a higher ground clearance and a much more spacious interior, the Mini Cooper Countryman could be the right Mini for Indians.
More details of the new Mini Cooper Countryman will be revealed at the Auto Expo 2018, which will be held from February 7 to February 14, 2018, in Greater Noida, NCR.
