MINI announces the new 2021 MINI Countryman featuring a newly updated design, along with enhancements in technology and equipment offerings. Most importantly it retains MINI’s “fun-to-drive” character and expressive design that makes it instantly recognizable as MINI. As the largest and most versatile member of the MINI model family, the new 2021 MINI Countryman offers individual flair in the hallmark style of the British premium brand. The MINI Countryman has proven itself as an attractive vehicle concept in the premium compact cross-over segment, offering a versatile and ample interior with seating for five. The optional ALL4 all-wheel drive system makes the new MINI Countryman an all-around talent that inspires MINI driving fun, whether on the road in day-to-day traffic, or on long-distance trips, or even when venturing off the beaten path into unsurfaced terrain. The progressive character of the new MINI Countryman is reflected in a range of model variants, from the plug-in hybrid drive MINI Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 to the high performance MINI John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4. The new MINI Countryman also features new digital MINI Connected services and a range of additional features, options and accessories, including Original MINI Accessories. more The new MINI Countryman continues to expand the appeal of the MINI brand to a broader range of customers. Even in its first generation, the MINI Countryman was a pioneer, expanding brand appeal to customers who were looking for a compact cross-over that offered a unique combination of versatility and fun-to-drive with a stylish and expressive design. As MINI’s first model with an exterior length of more than 13 feet, four doors, a large tailgate, five seats and all-wheel drive, the MINI Countryman laid the foundations for the brand’s highly successful advance into the premium compact crossover segment. In the US the MINI Countryman remains one of the brand’s most popular models, accounting for close to 40% of all MINIs sold in calendar year 2019. And on a worldwide basis, the Countryman accounts for close to 30% of all new registrations. The launch of the current model generation offers further refinements in areas of space, versatility, functionality and ride comfort. In addition, the MINI Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 plug-in-hybrid model continues to offer electrified mobility with greater efficiency and fewer emissions. The MINI Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 offers a compelling combination of efficiency, hybrid-specific all-wheel drive and the option of purely electric powered driving fun. In addition to the plug-in hybrid variant, the new MINI Countryman variants offer three gasoline engines featuring the latest MINI TwinPower Turbo Technology. The engines have seen extensive further development and cover an output spectrum ranging from 134 hp to 301 hp. The new MINI Countryman: an overview of the highlights. • Distinctive front design with newly designed radiator grill. • LED headlights and LED fog lights now as standard. • LED rear lights in Union Jack design. • New body finishes, new option Piano Black Exterior. • New light alloy wheels. • Cooper ALL4, Cooper S All4 and JCW ALL4 variants offer 8-speed Steptronic transmission standard. • Cooper FWD variant offers 7-speed DCT transmission standard. • Cooper S FWD variant offers 7-Speed Sport DCT transmission standard • Cooper SE PHEV variant offers 6-speed automatic transmission standard • New digital cockpit display with 5-inch color screen as an option. • Newly designed central instrument in Piano Black High Gloss as standard. • New range of leather trims and interior surfaces. • New version of the MINI Yours Interior Style. • MINI Connected with new functions. • Extended range of Original MINI Accessories. Distinctive proportions, powerful charisma. Thanks to its unique design and proportions as the brand’s largest vehicle offering, the new MINI Countryman is instantly recognizable as a MINI. The three-part structure of the vehicle body that is typical of MINI is interpreted in a particularly striking way by the model-specific roof line. The car’s upright stature and increased ground clearance signal the vehicle’s generous interior space, robust character and inspiring driving characteristics on both paved and unsurfaced terrain. The optional MINI ALL4 Exterior Styling is standard in the Iconic trim, while the roof rails are standard on all Countryman – further underline the versatility of the new MINI Countryman. The updated design of the car's front section lends new emphasis to the powerful charisma of the new MINI Countryman. The newly designed front and rear bumper coverings, now entirely in body finish, lend a more refined appearance. The redesigned radiator grille features hexagonal contours that are typical of MINI and it is surrounded by a slim-lined, one-piece chrome frame. The grille’s air intake is subdivided by three horizontal struts in the MINI Cooper Countryman. The radiator grill of the new MINI Cooper S Countryman is characterized by a bold hexagonal grid pattern with a red “S” and a single chrome strut. Bright spot: LED headlights now standard. The redesign of the front fascia now adds LED headlights to the standard trim in the new MINI Countryman: here, the latest version of these lights features a particularly high-quality design that emphasizes the technology used. The distinctive, asymmetrically rounded contours of the headlights are accentuated by a continuous band of light that takes on the function of both daytime driving light and turn indicator. The turning light included in the functional range of the LED headlights provides clear illumination of the side areas of the road when turning or changing lanes. The standard trim of the new MINI Countryman also includes LED fog lights, with a light band in the upper semicircle of each fog light serving as a parking light. Adaptive LED headlights with variable light distribution are available as a newly added standard feature. Redesigned rear fascia and LED lights in Union Jack design. With its redesigned bumper trim, the rear fascia also enhances the more powerful and contemporary look of the new MINI Countryman. The upright rear lights with chrome frame design evokes the origins of the British brand. All lighting functions now feature high-quality LED technology as standard, while the graphic structure of the light source reflects the pattern of the Union Jack. Paying homage to MINI’s origins as a distinctively British brand, the flag motif projects an unmistakable form – both day and night - clearly identifying the car as a MINI. Striking look: two new body finishes, Piano Black Exterior and new alloy wheels. The range of body finishes opens up new possibilities for an individual look, including the newly added colors White Silver metallic and Sage Green metallic. Depending on the model variant, the roof and mirror caps of the new MINI Countryman can be finished in black, white or silver as an alternative to the body color. The Piano Black Exterior option – likewise new and available on all variants of the new MINI Countryman – offers a striking and attractive appearance: here, the headlamp surrounds, rear lights, radiator grill and side indicator side scuttles – are finished in high-gloss black instead of chrome, as are the door handles and the model lettering on the luggage compartment lid. Additional identification features in high-gloss black are available from the range of Original MINI Accessories, including the MINI logo and the “Cooper S” and “ALL4” inscriptions in Piano Black design. Matching exterior mirror caps and side scuttles with a grey-black flag pattern in Night Jack design are also available as an accessory. Depending on the model variant, the new MINI Countryman is fitted standard with 17-inch light alloy wheels, with light alloy wheels in sizes up to 19 inches available as optional extras and as part of the Original MINI Accessories program. 17-inch light alloy wheels in Channel Spoke Black design are new to the range of ex works options, as are 19-inch light alloy Turnstile Spoke 2-tone wheels. Interior: Ample space with more individual style. The new MINI Countryman combines versatile driving characteristics with a versatile interior. Second row seating for three can be folded to expand cargo capacity. By folding down the rear seat with a 40 : 20 : 40 split, storage space can be extended from 17.6 – 47.6 cubic ft. Selective customization of the interior based on customer’s personal style is further enhanced with the addition of new options and choices. The leather variants Chesterfield Indigo Blue and Chesterfield Malt Brown have been newly added to the selection of seat upholstery options. The Color Line for the lower section of the instrument panel and door trim is now an integral part of the leather trim designed to match the relevant color scheme. The MINI Cooper S Countryman and MINI Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 models now come as standard with Piano Black interior surfaces for the cockpit and door bezels. These are combined with accent strips in the variant British Oak dark. A new version of the highly exclusive MINI Yours interior surfaces is optionally available for all model variants. The optional MINI Yours Interior Style Shaded Silver conveys stylish sporty flair. This is ensured by combining an illuminated cockpit bezel in the variant Shaded Silver with door bezels in Dark Silver and accentuation strips in Hazy Grey. Click here to view the full article

Aged Batteries • Batteries nearing the end of their life can fail if not used on a daily basis. • It can take up to 20-30 mins of driving to re-charge a battery that has been sitting. • We recommend that multi-car families alternate driving vehicles to maintain battery charge levels • If your vehicle is slow to start after sitting for a few days, if may be best to contact us to check your vehicle before quarantine ends and your normal travel resumes. Tire Pressure Warnings (TPM Lights) • As the temperature starts to change during this time of year, the air pressure in your car’s tires will change with it, as cold contracts (pressure down) while heat expands (pressure up). • Manufacturers are aware of this and have programmed your tire monitoring system to have an acceptable pressure “window” to compensate for these temperature changes • The tire monitor system will activate the warning light if, your pressure is lower than the window or higher than the window. Either way, it’s best to address the issue as soon as possible. more • Low pressure is usually an indication of a leak, however in the fall, as the temperature drops, it may be the contraction of the cold air that has lowered the tire’s pressure • Lower tire pressure will cause premature wear, decrease handling, and less pothole damage protection • High pressure in the spring can come about from adjusting tire pressure during the cold winter months with a more condensed cold air, as the temperature warms the air expands and raises your tire pressure • Higher tire pressures will cause excessive wear to the center of the tire as the shape of the tire is distorted by the excess, it will also provide a rougher ride and diminished handling. • Checking and adjusting tire pressures is done with an electric air pump and a pressure gauge, we perform this service as a courtesy anytime you check in at the dealer, if you do not have a pump or gauge your welcome to come see us for a quick check and adjust. Mice • Believe it or not this is a problem we see often and more so in the recent months. As people are not using their vehicles as much, mice are attracted to them for a nice place to nest. The car’s engine compartment provides lots of materials to build their nests from and it’s well protected from predators. In the normal course of daily driving, you scare them off when starting your engine. But, things haven’t been normal as of late. • Tell tale signs of mice include leaf litter in the engine compartment, destruction of engine bay insulation, burning smell after the car warms and the worst part, chewed wires. • While in most cases, the nest can be cleared out easily, it’s the chewed wiring that can become a real problem and this damage doesn’t always present itself right away. • Damage to electronic components can occur from electrical wire shorts caused by wiring insulation that has been chewed away, leading to costly module replacement • Phantom electrical problem symptoms can arise, ie your horn starts blowing for no reason or the blinkers activate by themselves but then stop as fast as they came on. Radio reception has good days and bad, etc. • In rare cases, engine bay fires can happen from short circuiting caused by chewed wires contacting, sparking, and igniting nesting litter • We recommend that you pop open your hood and look for signs of mice. Clear away any nesting materials you may find and look for damage. If you're not sure, let us take a look and verify that everything is okay. • In some case, if you do suffer damage from the scourge of mice, your insurance company may cover the damage, we can help you with filing a claim. Water condensation on the inside of your car windows? • Vehicle’s that sit have a tendency to develop water leaks. This can happen as a result of tree litter, pollen, and dirt clogging small drainage tubes in and around doors, convertible tops and sunroofs. In the normal course of driving, vibration and rain will flush these clogs out. • As water collects around these clogged drains it can overflow into the vehicle’s interior. The water will collect under the carpet on the floor pan of the vehicle and may go unnoticed for a bit. • The spring temperature changes will provide a clue that this is happening to your vehicle. Overnight temperature differences between the inside and outside of the car can cause excessive condensation on the interior of the windows of a vehicle that has trapped water in its interior. • Other than developing a musty odor, damage from water infiltration can take the shape of rusted components, damaged wiring harness and electrical components that reside under seats and the carpet. These problems can be very tricky to pinpoint and can take many hours to fix. • We recommend that you wash your vehicle regularly to flush away clogging materials, check under floor mats for moisture, and keep an eye out for condensation on the inside of your windows. We can help clear clogged drains and/or repair water damage if needed. As these repairs take some time, we provide loaner cars to customers in need of alternate transportation. Brakes making grinding noise? • Vehicles that sit for extended periods can gather rust on the brake rotors. This can cause excessive grinding noise on your first drive out of quarantine. • Modern disc brakes, have a large raw metal disc that the brake pads clamp down on when you apply the brakes. The clamping action of the brake pads clears away corrosion on the brake rotor. When the vehicle isn’t driven on a daily basis this corrosion can build to the point where the brake pads cannot effectively clear it away. • The sign of this is grinding noises coming from the vehicle when you apply the brakes. Usually, this noise abates after about 5 stops or so. If it doesn’t you may need to visually inspect your brake rotors through the openings in the wheels of the car. • The following issues can be a sign that your vehicle has a problem with its brakes: • Pock marks / rust pitting • Deep grooving • Uneven clearing of the rotor’s corrosion. (the rotor will look like the rings of Saturn) • If these signs are ignored, addition signs will become evident. • Pulsation in the brakes caused by an uneven surface developing on the rotor’s surface • Pulsations felt in the steering wheel while stopping are evidence of an issue with the front brakes • Pulsations felt in the seat while braking are evidence of an issue in the rear brakes • Unfortunately, this issue can arise in new and old brakes alike when the vehicle sits. But, if you hear the grinding noise and note any of the issues on the rotor, you can potentially avoid having to replace the brakes by getting them serviced. • We recommend multi-car households rotate the driving of each vehicle to lessen the chance of this issue developing. If you’re unsure, we can inspect your brakes for you. Which is part of our free multi-point inspection. Click Here To Schedule An Service Appointment
