MINI goes for Crossover 4×4 styling

A new 4×4 MINI looks set to join the MINI range.

The MINI Crossover Concept shows MINI’s current thinking on how the new model will look.

It features more rugged styling and 4×4 ability.

It’s also longer, at 4 metres, for improved interior practicality.

The MINI Crossover also feature four doors for drivers and passengers – the current Clubman estate has a small ‘suicide’ rear passenger door on the driver’s side.

The MINI Crossover features two conventional doors on the passenger’s side (front and back). There’s also a conventional door for the driver. However, the fourth door – for the rear passenger on the driver’s side – slides back along the outside of the car for convenient access and loading.

The MINI Crossover will be shown at the Paris Motor Show next month.
