This is the SuperMINI.
Longer, taller and with four passenger doors as well as all wheel drive, the MINI Crossover Concept is a design study for a fourth variant in MINI’s current model range. It also has four seats with adjustable rear legroom and a sliding door on the left hand side to overcome the problem of the fuel filler pipe which led to the three-door version being created. The MINI Crossover Concept is the first MINI to measure over four metres in length and almost 1.6 m high.
