Mini has released the top spec JCW Countryman, to its facelifted models, and we are happy to report that it will be in New Zealand this year.

The JCW Countryman boasts LED front and rear lamps plus larger exhausts. It also has a high black gloss grille and door handles, whilst also introducing trendy new colours Piano Black, White Silver and Sage Green.

The top of the range Mini gets a 5in digital instrument screen behind the steering wheel, as well as a 8.8 inch display screen which is touch sensitive. It gets Amazon Alexa, Apple CarPlay and an "always on" internet portal.

The engine remains the same, meaning a 2-litre turbocharged four cylinder with 225kW and a 0-100km/h time of 5.1 seconds.
