Tiny Traveller: Mini set to unveil woody wagon concept at Frankfurt show

BOB GRITZINGER

Posted Date: 9/7/05

If our information is accurate, chances are good the fun folks from BMW’s small-car subsidiary, Mini, will unveil a “concept” version of this car at the Frankfurt motor show.

We hear Mini will call its Frankfurt woody wagon concept the Countryman, but when the bigger, boxier Mini hits the market it will likely carry the Clubman or Traveller moniker, or both. Details are sketchy, but this new model will likely appear in 2007 as an ’08 model, built on the extended wheelbase Mini five-door hatch due in 2006 as an ’07 model.

Look for Mini to continue its retro theme by reaching into the past for Traveller’s vertically split barn door in place of a rear hatchback. The Traveller also may sport rear-hinged rear side doors to further boost the utility of its expanded back seat.

These Spy shots confirm BMW is pressing ahead with the new stretched Mini called the “Clubman” with a split tailgate. In the comparison to the saloon the wheelbase grows from 2.46 meters to 2.54 meters. Creating more room for the rear passengers. Possibilities also include a “Traveller” estate Mini, boss Kay Segler stated: “We will wait for the reaction to the study. There are still many other horses in the stable”. Also a “Speedster” is being conceived. “Announcements before Xmas, what comes as the third variant”, Segler said. The Oxford plant is running flat-out: Up to 23 hours on the day, seven days a week. In the meantime the BMW daughter serves 70% of the markets, the most important is England and the USA also in Asia is the well into the marque. Hong Kong already has a large distribution set-up, and in South Korea its first showroom was opened in March in Seoul.

Che bello, finalmente una Mini capace di offrire spazio sia ai passeggeri posteriori che ai bagagli! Forse.

Non mi piace: troppo sgraziata e sproporzionata.

Simpatica davvero, ma quando dovrebbe uscire?

Questo photoshop è vecchisimo o sbagliatissimo.

Si sà (e si vede chiaramente dai prototipi)

- che il meccanismo di apertura del portellone includerà anche la cornice dei fari

- che il portellone sarà probabilmente asimmetrico

- che sulle fiancate ci saranno probabilmente due piccole porte posteriori ad apertura controvento
