Mini will unveil the Crossman SUV in 2009, but a first preview will be made in October at the Paris Motor Show where the company will bring the future 4x4 in a concept version.
The difference between Crossman and a regular Cooper is that the crossover will be 8 cm higher and will have a length of more than 4 meters. The technical platform will be the same used on the rest on the MINIs, the only difference being the addition of a 4WD system.
Crossman will be built by Magna with a capacity of 80,000 units per year.
Mini will unveil the Crossman SUV in 2010. It will be based on the Clubman and was previously known as the "Colorado". It will be assembled in Austria by Magna Steyr.
