Like the Countryman, the Paceman was offered with a choice of two or four wheel drive (known as ALL4), and with 1.6 L petrol or diesel and 2.0 L diesel inline four engines in various states of tune.[3] Unlike most of the Mini range, the Paceman was not manufactured in England, but in Graz, Austria, by Magna Steyr, along with the Countryman.[2]
BMW ended production of the Paceman in late 2016 as BMW executives felt it is positioned too close to the Countryman in Mini’s line-up.[4][5]
The model derivatives followed a similar pattern to the Mini Hatch, with a choice of Cooper/Cooper D, Cooper S/Cooper SD and John Cooper Works derivatives.
The Cooper Petrol 122 PS (90 kW; 120 bhp) and the Cooper D 112 PS (82 kW; 110 bhp), the Cooper S Petrol 184 PS (135 kW; 181 bhp), the John Cooper Works 221 PS (163 kW; 218 bhp) and the Cooper SD Diesel producing 143 PS (105 kW; 141 bhp). The availability of models varied between markets.
The All4 all wheel drive option was available on variable models depending on the market.
