There really is a lot of talk and speculation around the Mini Crossman. Few details are being released by either Mini or its parent company, BMW. We’re not even sure if it’s going to be released in the US. Having said this, it would be extremely foolish if they don’t especially the way the auto industry is going.

All we can really go by are the few concept and spy photos that come out. The Crossman appears to have a higher ride height as compared to a Clubman. Overall length is 4 meters or just about. If the other photos are to be believed, and I hope it’s true, the Crossman will have a rather unique or odd (depends on who sees it I guess) door configuration. The right rear passenger door has the “standard” setup i.e. opens outward and forward. The left rear door is the unique one. Instead of opening outward, it has a slide mechanism similar to what you’d see on a van but naturally on a smaller door. Another photo shows the rear of the Crossman sporting a 2 wiper configuration and roof rails are clearly visible on top. Engine wise, we’re all still guessing. I’ll snoop around and see if I can get more info.
