2016 Mini Paceman Interior
The cabin of the 2016 Mini Paceman is a mixed bag in terms of accommodation. The front passenger area is much airier than the hardtop sedan and similar to the Countryman, but with a little less space. The 2016 Mini Paceman rear bucket seats offer a generous amount of legroom, about 3 inches longer than the hardtop. However, as the hardtop, the Paceman only four people to carry around five in the Countryman. In addition, the sloping roofline Marge eats from the back seat, and the lack of rear doors complicate entry and exit.
With the rear seats up trunk is a surprisingly meager 11.7 cubic meters, while folding down the rear seats opens up an even more modest 38.1 cubic feet. The current hardtop gives 8.7 and 34.0 cubes in each case so that the Paceman has little to show for the larger size.
