Mini Australia has confirmed the introduction of a
diesel engine, which debuted at the Geneva Motor Show, into the local Countryman ALL4 line-up.
The Mini Countryman was launched locally in March.
Priced from $52,100*, the new range-topping Mini Cooper SD ALL4 Countryman is powered by a 2.0
litre turbo-diesel engine, generating 105 kW of power with peak torque at 305 Newton metres. The
Cooper SD accelerates takes 9.4 seconds to travel from standstill to 100 km/h.
The Mini Cooper SD ALL4 Countryman is also equipped with Auto Start/Stop, Brake Enery
Regeneration and a Shift Point Display that prompts the driver to make upshifts at the most
economical time helping achieve fuel consumption of a potential 4.9 litres/100 kms and CO2 emissions
of 130 g/100 kms.
The Countryman is more than four metres long with four doors, four seats (or five as a non-cost
option) and a four-wheel drive option called “ALL4” to extend the Mini driving excitement off-road.
The Mini Countryman for the first time combines the unique handling of a Mini with the variable
space and versatility of a four-door, plus the practicality of a Sports Utility Vehicle with optional
all-wheel drive.

addition to this, the Cooper SD also comes standard with Dynamic Traction control.
Standard specification on the Cooper SD ALL4 Countryman is suitably generous including 17" alloy
wheels, Park Distance Control (rear), Bluetooth, audio USB interface, Mini Radio Boost CD, rain

The Mini Countryman comes as standard with two single seats at the rear adjustable individually
for length, and is available at no extra cost with a three-seat rear bench. Luggage capacity may be
