I remember first seeing a MINI Cooper in the blockbuster movie, The Italian Job, and thought to myself what a really special car it was. From its first roll out in 1959, MINI has been a fun drive and deceptively practical. And in 2010, the automotive brand launched the Countryman – the largest in the history of the MINI cars.
Fast forward to this year, MINI Malaysia introduces a new addition to its Countryman family: the S Countryman Pure. Sporting the iconic bonnet stripes and an elegant black roof, this model offers a new design language that is a lot more muscular as compared to the first generation while still staying true to its MINI roots. The chunkier look with the new angular headlights and grille won’t appeal to everyone, but we at Men’s Folio like the robust, distinctive look. It still has plenty of characters as you would expect from a car bearing the MINI badge.
