I reckon this is what's known as MINI's version of a three-door Countryman hatchback coupe? With the North American International Auto Show in just a month to come, MINI has released the first details on their Paceman concept.

Featuring a bold front fascia, a sloping roofline and 19 inch alloy wheels.Inside, the four-seat cabin has leather upholstery, and unique door panel trim. Powered by the same John Cooper Works' turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 155 kW (211 PS / 208 hp) and 260 Nm (192 lb-ft) of torque, we hope there will be more info on its availability and pricing soon.
