BMW is considering offering a rugged crossover version of the forthcoming MINI Clubman five-door wagon, according to the U.K.'s AutoExpress. The all-wheel-drive MINI will likely hit showrooms for the 2010 model year, if production is approved.

A BMW insider told the magazine there is a strong business case for the compact SUV, especially considering the demand for such vehicles here in North America. The 4×4 MINI might look something like the off-roader built by Italy's Castagna (pictured).

An innovative AWD system for MINI (by Getrag) has been ready for years, yet was put on ice till introduction of an appropriate model to carry such system.

3 possible variants: MINI Moke - kind a Mini off-roader, an "offroad" version of Mini Traveller / Clubman wagon (xTraveller), or a Honda Element / Scion xB funky AWD van.

According to my info xTraveller is the most possible variant to come in the future.

Btw, MINI is also considring to offer Mini Coupe - a coupe below 2er - kind a mini Aston Martin in appearance. ;)
