Untamed design features

The special edition highlights the robust design of the MINI ALL4 exterior look with the new Nanuq White paint finish and underlines the sporty character of the MINI Cooper SE Countryman ALL4. The body finish appears on the lower air intake surround including the suggested underride guard, the air curtain inserts in the front apron and the side sills, as well as on the reflector inserts and the lower insert in the rear apron.

The contrasting Frozen Blue Stone paint finish adds to the characteristic look of the edition model with graphic details. Four diagonal stripes in the lower area of each door as well as the inlays and carrier plates of the side scuttles are painted in this colour. A graphic pattern inspired by a mountain landscape in the same colour also features on the side scuttles and door sill trims where the MINI Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 in the Untamed Edition is drawn to. The “UNTAMED” lettering can be found on the rear side windows.

In the interior, the characteristic mountain landscape graphic also adorns the discreet pins on the outer section of the seat backrests. The illuminated decorative trim in Frozen Bluestone bears the striking landscape pattern, too. On longer excursions, an additional effect on the instrument panel appears when darkness sets in: The “UNTAMED” lettering then also lights up here in night design. What is more, from November 2022, two new equipment details will enhance the interior: The optional panoramic glass roof and the additional choice of HIFI speakers from Harman Kardon.

In addition to the Nappa sports leather steering wheel with edition-specific lettering in the lower spoke, the edition vehicle also stands out thanks to its extensive range of equipment.

MINI Multitone Edition

MINI has launched a brand-new limited edition for the MINI Electric; the Multitone Edition, with exclusive designs on both the exterior and interior of the car.

Limited to just 200 examples in the UK, the MINI Multitone Edition symbolises the diversity within the MINI community and is offered with an edition-exclusive multitone roof design. Extending from the windscreen frame to the rear across the entire roof, the gradient starts with Aspen White before transitioning through the subdued grey shade of Melting Silver II then finishing in Jet Black. The unique look created by this colour gradient is complemented in the MINI Multitone Edition by an abstract, white rainbow on the roof, which is also featured throughout the design of the special edition.

This special look is made possible by the innovative wet-on-wet painting process used by the British MINI plant in Oxford. With this Spray Tech paint finish, the three colour shades are applied directly one after the other. Due to changing environmental conditions, deviations in the colour pattern may occur, making each MINI Multitone Edition vehicle unique.

Offered on MINI Electric for the first time, the new MINI Multitone Edition is presented exclusively in Sage Green Metallic, which has previously only been available on the MINI Countryman.

The black or chrome trims surrounding the headlights and MINI badge have been replaced and are offered for the first time in White alongside 17” Scissor Spoke 2-tone wheels.

On the exterior of the vehicle, a graphic rainbow motif made up of Indian Summer Red and Sage Green colours can be found on the C-Pillar with matching-coloured designs also found on the side scuttle and door sills, and exclusive self-levelling wheel caps in a two-tone design.

These motifs continue into the interior of the vehicle, where logos can be found on the sun visor, floor mats, cockpit facia and steering wheel. Customers of the MINI Multitone Edition will also receive a 3D printed key car in Sage Green.

The MINI Multitone Edition is offered to market as a MINI Electric Level 2, featuring front heated seating, automatic dual zone air conditioning, sports leather steering wheel and sports seats as standard. Also standard is a 8.8” centre display screen, Apple CarPlay, MINI Navigation system, cruise control, MINI Driving Modes, rain senior with automatic headlight activation, rear view camera and rear park distance control.

The car is a two-door powerhouse ready to roar onto streets very soon. It is promised to be powerful and agile, with a most exceptional take on Mini design.

The vehicle is practically a Countryman coupe. It has the same dimensions: length of 4 110 millimetres, width of 1 789 millimetres, and height of 1 541 millimetres. However, one of the most fascinating elements here are the 19″ alloys included. Paceman also boasts bold front fascia and a sloping roofline.

If no changes were made after Detroit, then the MINI Paceman is going to be powered by 1.6 liter four-cylinder turbo petrol engine with 211PS (155 kW) and 260Nm (192 lb-ft).

More information will be revealed around the time of official release at the 2012 Paris Auto Show.
