The new MINI Countryman Park Lane lends its name from Park Lane, one the most distinguished addresses in London, at the respected suburb of Mayfair and where a prestigious and legendary MINI showroom is also located. While this is the third time that Park Lane has lent its name to an exclusive edition MINI model since 1987 and 2005, this is, nevertheless, the first time the name has been bestowed on the MINI Countryman.

With unmistakable design, premium quality, an interior concept of exemplary versatility and typical MINI driving fun on the road, the overall package offered by the MINI Countryman has taken on an irresistible front-line force from the very outset.

The interior of the new MINI Countryman Park Lane is further enhanced with an Ambient Lighting package, which creates colour highlights throughout the entire door panel in night mode. By simply using a toggle switch, the driver and passengers are able to choose their desired atmosphere through a spectrum of colours in understated style.

Further to that is an automatic air-conditioning system which rapidly adjusts and maintains the temperature in the interior. It is also equipped with a built-in active carbon filter which protects passengers against unpleasant odours from the outside. The system also automatically deactivates air circulation when necessary.
