[Autoblog] Mini Countryman to get rear bench seat option in U.S.



When Mini launched its all-new Countryman crossover, we were told that it would only be available with the four-seat configuration here in the United States – two buckets up front, two buckets in back. Now, Mini has confirmed that the rear bench seat option – something that's currently available in other markets – will be available on U.S.-spec Countrymen starting this Fall.

This option is ideal for customers who need the occasional use of a bench seat, whether it be for hauling cargo or having the space for one extra person. (We hate to think of how cramped a Countryman would be with three adults in back.) Expect the bench seat option to show up on order forms starting in September.

Not like we didn't know already... Guess they'll tag em as 2012 models only...? Still lovin' that all-black model in their gallery...

 

I ain't never yet seen so many people fixated on a back seat since I used to go to South Park Drive In Movie Theater in high school. It's good to know that it'll be available - just wish I could remember what for.
