MINIUSA.com has flipped the switch on the 2013 configurator for the MINI Countryman. New for 2013 are two new colors (Blazing Red being the standout) and an updated interior design with window switches on the doors, improved door insert design and an additional, small center cubby. Having experienced it all first-hand, we can vouch for these updates as being subtle but welcome.

Also included in this update is the addition of the Countryman JCW model. Complete with unique JCW wheels and trim, the R60 range is finally complete. Take a look, and share your spec in the comments.

Before you ask, look for the Paceman configurator to go live in early 2013.
