In a recent interview with AutoGuide, Mini’s USA boss Jim McDowell said that vehicles by the brand aren’t going to get any smaller than the base Cooper or larger than the Countryman.

“I don’t anticipate a third size or that we’ll ever have large MINIs,” he said. However, McDowell confirmed that his comments only apply for the United States and that a smaller Mini model could pop up in Europe.

“While the size of such concepts will no doubt vary, the Mini product family will remain true to its values of ensuring a ‘premium small car’ experience; and to do so in the U.S., we are likely to stay within the size range that is currently established,” said McDowell.

Whatever it is, we’re just looking forward to the Mini Coupe and Mini Roadster models.
