“A recent addition to the compact SUV segment, the MINI Countryman enriches this class with the joie de vivre typical of MINI. And in comparison with its MINI siblings, it also brings a totally new dimension of a size previously unknown. This makes the MINI Countryman ideal for every terrain. Visually too, the AC Schnitzer rims give the “great little one” the finishing touch,” a company statement reads.
The vehicle’s factory stock rims were left behind and now customers can choose between multiple AC Schnitzer wheel designs, with sizes ranging up to 19-inch. The tuner claims that this is the first time when a MINI wears shoes that are larger than 18-inch.
“The Countryman is also a completely new vehicle for the AC Schnitzer developers and offers new opportunities thanks to its size. For the first time in our history with MINI, the 18 inch wheel dimension has been exceeded, and AC Schnitzer offers wheel and tire combinations in various designs up to 19 inch,” stated the press release.
The list of mother modification includes interior touches, such as an aluminum pedal set, leather-covered gear knobs that use digital gear displays and aluminum gear knobs.
Of course, when we saw the (stock) Countryman, we couldn’t help ourselves and took it for a test drive. You can read the review here (we’ll let your imagination add the tuning bits if you feel like doing this).
