Development of the new Mini Countryman is now taking place on the Nürburgring and in Munich. The sticker on the fuel filler door stipulates that the development driver fills the crossover with 98-octane gasoline. This suggests we are looking at the high-performance S grade.
The development team puts a lot of camouflage on the nose, and the covering hides a lot. The large sensor in the center of the grille is easily visible, though. In a typically Mini styling trait, there are circular headlights at the far sides of the front ends.
