第二代(2017款) MINI Countryman合成图近日曝光,让我们先睹为快。不到一年以前，MINI发布了Countryman改款车型，但该车在去年纽约车展发布后不久就有人拍到了新一代Countryman测试照片。新一代Countryman将作为2017款车型上市，由于MINI对家族所有车型都尽量保持人们熟悉的外观设计，因此可以想象，新一代Countryman不会大改，仍将采用渐进式改款。预计新车的车身尺寸将进一步增加，很可能成为MINI家族中最大车型，因此内部空间将更宽敞，尤其是后排乘客腿部空间将更充裕。新车仍将标配前轮驱动，但某些版本将可选装ALL4全轮驱动系统。由于新车仍采用UKL1平台，因此动力系统与MINI家族其他车型共享，新车将于明年底投产。现行版Countryman改款车由位于奥地利格拉茨的麦格纳-斯太尔生产，但新车将在波恩VDL NedCar工厂以及荷兰和英国牛津工厂生产。

 

Second generation MINI Countryman render shows plausible design

The 2017 MINI Countryman has been rendered based on the latest batch of spy shots.

 

It was less than a year ago when BMW-owned MINI introduced the facelifted Countryman but shortly after the car's debut at New York Auto Show spy images emerged with the second generation. It will likely come out as a 2017MY and it's not hard to imagine how it will look like as MINI keeps the familiar styling across its lineup so the new Countryman will adopt an evolutionary design.

 

The model is expected to grow in size - likely making it the biggest MINI ever - so expect a roomier interior cabin granting additional space for the passengers sitting on the rear seats while the cargo capacity should be boosted as well. Front-wheel drive will be standard but select versions will be optionally available with an all-wheel drive system (ALL4).

 

Riding on the UKL1 platform, the new MINI Countryman will get the same engines as the regular models and will likely hit the assembly line towards the end of 2016. The aforementioned current Countryman facelift is produced by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria but the new model will be assembled at the VDL NedCar factory in Born, The Netherlands and also at the Oxford plant in UK.
