32% of the Minis sold in the United States in March 2013 were tall. After falling 8.7% a year ago, Countryman sales rose 11.5% last month. Mini USA also sold the first 169 Pacemans in March.
From a volume perspective, 1930 Mini crossover sales compare unfavourably with nothing but premium utility vehicles. From a money-making perspective, however, the Countryman and Paceman should be accomplishing more for Mini than the average tall city-sized car.
With its highest-volume month ever, the Ford Escape sold as often as the Jeep Patriot, Dodge Journey, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Mazda CX-5 combined. Well, actually, those four crossovers outsold the Escape by a solitary unit.
