From the looks of it the Countryman’s outer design is similar to its predecessor with the exception of a few trims and tweaks here and there. However, it is 200mm longer and 30mm wider with a 75mm jump in the wheelbase.The front fascia combines the Mini-esque grille finished in chrome and upright LED headlamps with peripheral LED DRLs. The side profile shows off the 19-inch light alloy wheels housed inside the flared wheel arches with rugged cladding, satin-finished roof rails and the air vent on the front quarter panel. The rear end gets upright LED lights perimetered by chrome accents, chrome-tipped dual exhaust tips and wraparound rear windshield with a lip spoiler to top things off.
