Mini says that the new Countryman arouses the spirit of discovery. It gets a generous space for up to five occupants and their luggage as well as an optional all-wheel drive system called ALL4. The British premium brand’s all-rounder is perfectly equipped for outings that go far beyond the limits of urban mobility and asphalted roads.
“And in the eventuality that not just the road comes to an end but the day, too, there is now even the option of a place to spend the night,” says the BMW-owned marque. Mini has teamed up with the Italian accessories maker Autohome to create a roof tent that perfectly matches with the Countryman. This special edition AirTop roof tent is available directly from the manufacturer in black or white in keeping with the contrasting colors for roof and outside mirror caps.
Mounting the mobile shelter is facilitated by the standard roof rails on the Countryman. The model-specific roof rail carrier is available from the Mini Shop as a Mini Original Accessory. Mini says that the roof tent attachment system can be mounted on this carrier in a few easy moves without the need for tools. This roof rail carrier provides a solid foundation for the roof tent attachment, which is fixed stably and securely using the steel clamps included.
When closed, the roof tent is barely distinguishable from a conventional transport box. The aerodynamically optimized lines of its fibre-glass housing ensure a reduction in air resistance and wind noise. Opening it is simply a matter of releasing the safety clasps, two at the front and one at the rear. The tent superstructure is then automatically raised by means of four gas pressure springs.
The interior height of the mobile accommodation unit is 94 cm. With a stable cover and outer walls in special high-quality fabric, the tent is not only rain proof but also offers optimum ventilation properties as well as a high level of heat and noise insulation. The features of the roof tent include a high-density mattress with cotton cover, two doors and two windows with zips, close-meshed mosquito nets at all openings and a battery-operated LED interior light, as well as luggage nets and pockets to stow personal items. A solid aluminium ladder is provided to climb up onto the top floor of the Countryman.
