Big ideas sometimes come in small packages. The Mini Concept is a two-door, four-passenger wagon that features rear barn doors which open up to an expansive and versatile cargo area, over which is a removable roof that allows for easy loading. The side profile is clean and precise, lacking a B-pillar and including electronic sliding rear side windows. To offset the side doors’ 63-inch length, Mini has introduced what it calls its kinematic parallelogram hinging system, a design that moves the doors forward as they’re opened.
