As one of MINI's->ke57 first forays into the sports utility market, the MINI Countryman is understandably a jump into uncharted territory for MINI. After all, as a brand that hasn't produced anything measuring more than four meters - they're called MINI for a reason - these guys are banking on introducing the Countryman as a "genuine crossover bridges the gap between the classic concept of the Mini and a modern Sports Activity Vehicle.”

Our buddies over at Autospies posted a walk-through video of the Countryman, complete with a detailed description of the vehicle's exterior looks, as well as its interior features, courtesy of MINI product manager, Vincent Kung. It's a pretty useful video to watch if you're thinking of scooping up one in the future. There's no better person to explain the inner and outer workings of the Countryman than the man who pretty much headed the project from the beginning.
