Prêts pour des sorties spéciales au grand air : la dernière génération du baroudeur anglais est parfaite pour s’échapper de la routine du quotidien – qui offre un endroit pas si banal pour dormir.

Munich. The new MINI Countryman arouses the spirit of discovery. With generous space for up to five occupants and their luggage as well as the optional all-wheel drive system ALL4, the latest generation of 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 – for entirely spontaneous use. The Italian specialist AUTOHOME has expanded its product range to include a roof tent that perfectly matches both the look of the new MINI Countryman and the current MINI brand design.
A special edition of the AirTop roof tent model was designed in
cooperation with the MINI Design Team and is now available directly
from the manufacturer in black or white in keeping with the
contrasting colours for roof and outside mirror caps for the new
MINI Countryman. AUTOHOME has more than 50 years of experience in
developing and making automobile roof tents and its products are
used both in the leisure sector and on professional expeditions.
Mounting the mobile shelter is facilitated by the standard roof
rails on the new MINI Countryman. This allows you to use the
model-specific roof rail carrier – available from the MINI Shop as a
MINI Original Accessory. 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 optimised 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
centimetres. 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 MINI Countryman.
With its powerful engine, the all-wheel drive system ALL4 and a
permitted towing capacity of up to 1 800 kilograms, the new MINI
Countryman is also suitable for towing a caravan. But it is the roof
tent that perfectly preserves the brand’s time-honoured principle of
getting the maximum space out of a minimum surface area. The
sleeping area for all those MINI fans who want to get away during
the day and aim high at night measures 2.10 in length and 1.30
metres in width – sufficient to accommodate outdoor overnight stays
for two. It provides a home for wherever the occupants of the new
MINI Countryman happen to feel comfortable at any given time.
Whether in the countryside, on the beach or in the mountains –
wherever the new MINI Countryman conquers new terrain, its roof
provides a tent pitch in a top location.
