Mini Paceman

The Mini Paceman is a three-door subcompact crossover SUV sold and manufactured by BMW under the Mini brand. It is the three-door counterpart of the R60 Mini Countryman. It was introduced as the Paceman Concept at the 2011 North American International Auto Show. The production model debuted in September 2012.

Like the Countryman, the Paceman was offered with a choice of two or four-wheel drive (known as ALL4), and with 1.6-litre petrol or diesel and 2.0-litre diesel inline four engines in various states of tune. Unlike most of the Mini range, the Paceman was not manufactured in the UK but in Graz, Austria, by Magna Steyr, along with the Countryman.

BMW ended production of the Paceman in November 2016 as BMW executives felt it was positioned too close to the Countryman in Mini’s line-up.

Models


The model derivatives followed a similar pattern to the Mini Hatch, with a choice of Cooper/Cooper D, Cooper S/Cooper SD and John Cooper Works derivatives.

The Cooper Petrol 122 PS and the Cooper D 112 PS, the Cooper S Petrol 184 PS, the John Cooper Works 221 PS and the Cooper SD Diesel producing 143 PS. The availability of models varied between markets.

The All4 all-wheel drive option was available on variable models depending on the market.
