Mini crossover photos leaked

These are the first official pictures of Mini's new crossover car, which goes on sale here in September.

The car is expected to be called the Countryman and is the production version of the Beachcomber concept car that was unveiled at the Detroit motor show earlier this month.

It will be bigger than a Mini Clubman and unlike the rest of the Mini range, it will not be built in the UK, but in Austria. Prices are expected to start around 17,000.
