The second generation Countryman
The second generation Countryman will be introduced at the LA Auto Show in November 2016, and go on sale in February 2017 in Europe, and March elsewhere. It will launch with three variants: Cooper (FWD or ALL4), Cooper S (FWD or ALL4), and in June 2017, the new Cooper S E ALL4 plug-in hybrid. The new Countryman is 8 inches longer than the first generation, and 1 inch wider. The Cooper Countryman will be powered by a turbocharged 3-cylinder engine, while the Cooper S will use a new 2.0 liter turbo I4. The Cooper S E combines the turbo I3 with an electric motor and a 7.6 kWh lithium-ion battery, with an electric range of up to 40 kilometres (25 mi).
