Will 2019 Bring A "Longer Countryman" AKA "The Traveller"?

The German site autobild.de claims the three cylinder new MINI Countryman will appear in 2018. However, even more interesting is the assertion a longer Countryman with more off-road terrain ability called the "Traveller" will debut in 2019.

Since the autobild.de site is in German, you can read a version that has been translated into English here.
