“Beautiful… Khaki’s latest travel bag “Samsonite “Popular Minter” to a limited edition model that feels Japanese aesthetics is now available (MonoMax Web) Yahoo! News
On July 2, 2025, BMW Japan unveiled the first limited-edition Slate Blue model of the MINI Countryman premium compact SUV. Sales of 200 units limited to Japan began on the same day.
Special features in the racy JCW trim that further enhance the value of the limited edition model
The MINI Countryman was born as the first premium compact SUV model of the MINI. Before the current third generation, it was called a crossover, but now the first limited edition model, the MINI Countryman Slate Blue, has been born. The company sold 200 units.
●[Question and Answer]Why is the gasoline refueling port on the right or left depending on the car?
The main selling point of the limited-edition MINI Countryman Slate Blue, which is based on the concept of “adventure, style,” is the “Slate Blue” body color, which is the name of the car. The fact that the color looks different depending on the amount of light is a myth. At the same time, while respecting the heritage of the MINI, it is said that it is conscious of expressing modern and sophisticated beauty.
In addition, “JCW (John Cooper Works) trim”, “19-inch JCW Runway Spoke Black Wheels”, and “JCW Sports Seats”, which can only be set on the “MINI Countryman S All 4” and “MINI Countryman SE All 4”, are also specially installed.
By the way, the base vehicle is the “MINI Countryman D” equipped with clean diesel. A sporty world view that combines race-inspired “JCW trim” with the powerful driving of clean diesel is developed in this limited edition model. The vehicle price (tax included) is 5.98 million yen.
