This bright-eyed ball of Britfunky is one of the strangest concepts we've seen in a while, but that doesn't mean we don't like it. Want to go dune-climbing in a Mini? Of course you do. More »

We've been waiting for the Mini SUV, tentatively dubbed Mini Crossman, and the Detroit-bound Beachcomber concept is another hint at what the small crossover will look like. At least we hope so, because this all-wheel drive concept rocks. More »

Hot on the heels of the Mini Crossover Concept revealed at the Paris Motor Show, we get our first glimpse of a prototype Mini crossing over in the wild. The all-wheel-drive micro-UV is obviously wearing the same epilepsy-inducing camouflage BMW has been fond of lately, but you can see the mule bears a great deal of resemblance to the concept. This "Mini" seems to be pretty large compared against the BMW 1-Series parked in front of it. [NextAutos] More »

Since we first heard of the possibility of a Mini SUV, dubbed by many the Mini Crossman that we saw debut in Paris, there has been speculation over the name. We thought this was all settled when they didn't officially name it the Crossman, but apparently enthusiast wishes now appear to hold no sway with automakers. You'd have thought we'd have learned after the whole G8 El Camino debacle, right? Anyway, According to GoAuto, BMW's global sales and marketing chief said "I can assure you it won't be known by that name." This brings us back to square one. So what will they call it? We'll walk you through the possibilities below. More »

Mini just revealed their Mini Crossover Concept — the first SUV from the diminutive BMW brand — here at the Paris Motor Show. The concept car's supposedly a first look at what we should expect from the 2011 Mini Crossman. Now that we've seen it live and in the flesh we can conclusively say — it looks like a Mini Clubman with lifts and an extra full-size door for fun on the passenger side. Want to know more? Hit the jump. More »

The off-road Mini Crossover Concept may be small on the outside, but on the inside there's a giant 3D globe that utilizes laser technology to integrate all of the car's entertainment, communication and navigational features into a touchscreen interface. The globe splits into hemispheres allowing the driver to check out a map while a passengers surfs the web. Intense laser projection displays information, in both text and graphic form, at multiple layers within the globe. The driver can either interface with the system by touching the globe or by using the trackball on the steering wheel — which also acts as the "key." Passengers can use the pop-out keyboard or slide controls below the globe. While this is still very much a concept, all the technology for it exists and we wouldn't be surprised to see Mini incorporate many of these features on a feature vehicle. Full description in the press release below the jump. More »

BMW has released a series of sketches of their new Mini Crossover Concept, a tease of the 2011 Mini Crossman we're expecting from the brand. How much resemblance this bears to the Magna Steyr-built production model rumored to debut in 2010 is uncertain, but these sketches clearly point to a four-door, four-seat vehicle with all-wheel drive and a more athletic feel. Press release and more sketches below the jump. More »

Mini purists, just recently able to set down their small farm-issue pitchforks over the Clubman, should probably pick them right back up and head down to TSC to pick up some of those big ol' industrial-sized pitchforks they issue for CAFOs. That's because the third member of the Mini family's been spotted sneaking around in some Clubman skin, which it obviously killed on some backwoods trail because it couldn't keep up. That's right, we're told the picture above is a prototype test mule for the 2011 Mini Crossman — the off-road edition of the Mini nameplate. The newest member to the badge is expected to get all-wheel-drive. You know, to appeal to that all important "I'm not driving a Mini because I'd look...yeah" male demographic. The new Mini Crossman's expected to be built by Austrian manufacturer Magna Steyr and scheduled to hit the trails during calendar year 2010. Full spy report from Brenda Priddy after the jump and a full-sized picture of the 2011 Mini Crossman here. More »

It wasn't a surprise to us when the folks at BMW announced Austrian firm Magna Steyr would get the contract for building the Mini Crossman SUV, as the company is already responsible for the production of the BMW X3, Jeep Grand Cherokee and other vehicles. Our interest in the Mini Crossman is now even greater after seeing Magna Steyr's MILA Alpin concept, which looks to be a compact SUV hatch the company is bringing to Geneva. More »

In an interview with Auto Motor und Sport, MINI CEO Kay Segler let it slip that the new MINI crossover/SUV will be called the Crossman, and not the Mini Monte as we'd all kind of hoped it would be. Crossman just sounds like a cross-dressing super hero... or maybe a super hero with David Cross' humor and good looks. That could work. More »
