MINI Paceman
The Mini Paceman is a three-door subcompact SUV sold by German automobile manufacturer BMW under the Mini brand. It is the three-door counterpart of the R60 Mini Countryman. It was introduced as the Paceman Concept at the 2011 North American International Auto Show. The production model debuted in September 2012. Like the Countryman, the Paceman was offered with a choice of two or four-wheel drive (known as ALL4), and with 1.6-litre petrol or diesel and 2.0-litre diesel inline four engines in various states of tune. Unlike the main Mini Cooper model, the Paceman was not built at BMW's UK plant in Cowley, Oxfordshire, but in Graz, Austria, by Magna Steyr, along with the Countryman. BMW ended production of the Paceman in late 2016 as executives felt it was positioned too close to the Countryman in Mini’s line-up.
