BMW ’s Mini brand is hard at work developing the all-new Crossman SUV, and it looks as though the first hint of that hard work will be unveiled later this year. Mini will unveil a concept version of the Crossman at October’s Paris Motor Show, a new report finds.
Despite a strong family resemblance, the Crossman will actually ride on its own unique platform. The new architecture was needed for the Crossman’s all-wheel drive system and higher ride height.
Compared to the standard Cooper, the Crossamn will ride 8cm (just over 3 inches) higher and will measure in at over four meters (157 inches), according to AutoTelgraaf.
The Crossman — which will be built by Magna Steyr starting late next year — is slated for an annual production run of 80,000 units.
