Mini Countryman继上月在线发布后，近日亮相洛杉矶车展。新车外观看起来很大，考虑到该车长度增加了近8英寸（约合20.32厘米），轴距增加了2.9英寸（约合7.36厘米），这种感觉丝毫也不奇怪。由于车身尺寸增加，新车内部空间更宽敞，在后排椅背放平的情况下，储物容积增至47.6立方英尺（约合1347立升）。新一代Countryman可以选装电动尾门和后排长椅，这两项配置使得2017款车型的易用性获得提升。美版车型提供两种引擎，其中1.5升三缸引擎功率99千瓦/134马力，扭矩219牛米；另一台2.0升四缸引擎功率140千瓦/189马力，扭矩280牛米。想要更省油的版本可以选择插电混动版，该车搭载一台1.5升引擎和一台电机，将动力通过双阶单速变速器传递至后轮。由于该车在技术上可以兼容全轮驱动，因此仍可以选装All4四驱系统。而标准版车型可提供前轮驱动或全轮驱动。车辆标配六速手动变速箱，而 Cooper S Countryman/Cooper S Countryman All4/Cooper Countryman All4可以选装八速Steptronic自动变速器。

 

2017 Mini Countryman is anything but mini in L.A.

Following its online premiere last month, the 2017 Mini Countryman is making its first live appearance at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show – and is still looking big. That’s not surprising taking into account the new model is almost eight inches longer than the outgoing Countryman, and has an extended wheelbase by 2.9 inches.

 

Thanks to this, the distinctive crossover now offers a roomier interior with five seats – or 47.6 cubic feet of cargo volume when the rear seats are folded flat. In this second generation Countryman you can order an optional power tailgate and a rear bench, both unique for 2017 model year and designed to make your life easier.

 

In the United States, the vehicle will be offered with two familiar petrol engines - a 1.5-liter three-cylinder unit with 134 horsepower (99 kilowatts) and 162 pound-feet (219 Newton-meters) of torque, and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder motor generating 189 hp (140 kW) and 207 lb-ft (280 Nm) of torque.

 

If you want a more frugal option, you can order the plug-in hybrid version which combines the same 1.5-liter engine with an electric motor, sending its power to the rear wheels through a two-stage, single-speed transmission. The model is still labeled as an All4 all-wheel-drive machine because it technically has an AWD system.

 

Back to the gasoline-powered variants, both engines can be paired with either front- or all-wheel drive. The standard equipment includes a six-speed manual gearbox, while the Cooper S Countryman, the Cooper S Countryman All4, and the Cooper Countryman All4 can be optionally ordered with an eight-speed Steptronic automatic transmission.
