2015 MINI Paceman: What's New

Vehicle Overview

The four-seat two-door Mini Paceman shares its underpinnings and wheelbase with the four-door Countryman; like the Countryman, it also has available all-wheel drive.

It comes in Cooper Paceman or Cooper S Paceman variants, signaling a normally aspirated or turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Manual or automatic transmissions come with either car, but the Cooper S Paceman is the only one with available all-wheel drive.
