2015 MINI Countryman With Mild Facelift At NYIAS 2014

Autoweek discusses the "subtle. midlife facelift" for the 2015 MINI Cooper Countryman to be revealed at the New York International Auto Show 2014. According to the article, which provides the official MINI photos provided in advance of the show:
As this first batch of official photographs reveals, there is very little to distinguish the refreshed Countryman from the existing model. Exterior styling changes extend to a lightly modified grille, new range of alloy wheels and revised color schemes.

There are also revised optional headlamps with an LED function for the daytime running lamps and fog lamps, as well as a series of off-road embellishments, including skid plates within the lower part of the bumpers and within the side sills, on all All4 four-wheel-drive variants of the new Mini.
