When this car comes to production it will be offered as a 3dr and 5dr with the 5dr featuring rear hinged "Club" doors , kind of like this example below.
MINI Paceman Concept will debut at the NAIAS in Detroit in a few weeks.
The next MINI Concept Car will be shown in Geneva in March along with a new Production model. More on that soon.

From what my fatigue brain can make out of it, I'd say a two door Countryman.

MINI Paceman Concept is about “Evoqueing” the MINI Concept with a stylish more dynamic concept than the Countryman aimed at those who want more individuality. Like a MINI version of the highly-successful BMW X6 Sport Activity Coupe Concept.
The general idea is to offer “Evoque” style and function without “Evoquing” a similar price when the car comes to the market. For what it is the Range Rover Evoque is estimated to be very expensive especially at the entry level.
The MINI Concept which has been well into study since late last year is being prepped as both a 3dr seen here and a 5dr using the “Club” door feature of the MINI Clubman both this time on each side of the car. This feature has been approved for production as it is necessary to make the car stand out between the 3dr.
To make this car stand out a similar torque vectoring system (Dynamic Performance Control) as seen on the X6 will make sure that the Paceman offers excellent composure and control.
The roofline is very dynamic and very low, when you see further pictures of Adrian Van Hooydunk standing beside it you can see how low in relation to his six-foot-plus height the Paceman Concept actually is.

Price is relative. A Mini hatch is very expensive in relation to a two door VW. The indicative price for the Evoque is well in line with an Audi A5 and 3er Coupe. Further more the car is exceptionally plush, both inside and out. Individuality shouldn't always be widely financially accessible.
I welcome further extensions of the Mini brand but wouldn't mind an added squint of masculinity at the front. BMW AG are going about this with baby steps or should I say Porsche steps as they don't want to deviate from the quintessential "mini-appearence".

The Range Rover Evoque looks fresh and unique, this Mini thing doesn't. The side profile looks horrible, a bit like the 5 GT. Being different, or "individual" for the sake of it is not a good thing, and possibly for the wrong reasons. Those who want more 'individuality' will get it with this vehicle because are the only a few people who are stupid enough to buy one of these.

The first Sports Activity Coupe in the premium segment – and a MINI through and through.
World premiere of the new MINI Paceman Concept.
MINI is marking an important milestone in its history by once again presenting a fascinating new vehicle concept for the MINI family – the MINI Paceman Concept. Exactly 10 years ago, visitors to the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit witnessed the relaunch of the MINI brand in North America, which signalled the beginning of an unparalleled success story. And now the brand is also preparing to celebrate this landmark anniversary at the NAIAS – taking place from 10-23 January 2011 – with the world premiere of the MINI Paceman Concept. This spectacular study vehicle establishes a totally new category of car with its potential for providing even more driving fun and an even greater range of usage. The MINI Paceman Concept could become another building block in the ongoing development of the brand and its product portfolio.
The MINI Paceman Concept takes the fundamental strengths of MINI – its uniqueness, go-kart handling, agility, dynamic capability and individual design – and gives them a fresh twist with the help of cutting-edge technology and an innovative body concept. It combines a sporty, masculine appearance, versatility and coupe looks with the dimensions of the four-door MINI Countryman. And it brings together the classical MINI concept, the defining features of the MINI Countryman and the style of a coupe to harmonious effect. The result is a MINI with visual “muscle car” design cues, which displays its dynamic capability from every angle and showcases it impressively both when viewed from the side and in the design of the rear.
The MINI Paceman Concept, whose crossover design makes it the first Sports Activity Coupe (SAC) in the small car segment, blends lifestyle elements with premium quality. It is the ideal car for young, modern, extrovert urbanites who love the hallmark MINI go-kart feeling, enjoy stand-out individuality, place great importance on the personality of a brand and buy into its character and ethos. They are confident types, who live according to their own style and express their distinctive individuality in a MINI, who use the big-city mobility the MINI provides to embark on voyages of discovery through the urban jungle, and who experience driving fun in its most concentrated form thanks to the excellent ride comfort of the MINI both in everyday driving and over long journeys.
The masculine design language of the MINI Paceman Concept spotlights both the stand-alone identity of the concept and its membership of the MINI family. The four-seater study, whose two large doors and a wide-opening tailgate mark it out unmistakably as a MINI, imbues the sporty, cutting-edge Sports Activity Coupe (SAC) category with undeniable appeal. The platform of the MINI Countryman, with its hallmark MINI proportions, increased ground clearance and raised seating position, defines the study’s compact dimensions.
Exterior: Sports Activity Coupe – urban and masculine.
The MINI Paceman Concept retains the familiar MINI family front end, but adds its own distinctive flavour. The large headlights with chrome surrounds extend far into the front wings and, together with the strikingly contoured bonnet, emphasise the imposing front end. The MINI Paceman Concept largely replicates the front grille design of the MINI Cooper S Countryman. However, additional intakes in the lower section of the front bumper ensure improved brake ventilation and combine with the study’s deep-set foglamps to sharpen its sporting edge. The MINI Paceman Concept’s fresh interpretation of the side scuttle at the transition from front wing to door houses both the side direction indicator and an air outlet. The side scuttle has a broad, sturdy-looking design and leads the eye from the A-pillar down towards the front wheel, making it an unmistakable, sporty, wheel-accentuating feature.
Large 19-inch wheels designed exclusively for the study car and dark wheel arch borders with side skirts highlighted in the same colour team up with the familiar MINI shoulder line rising up slightly towards the rear to underline the car’s sporty and powerful appearance. The MINI Paceman Concept shows off its roof contours particularly effectively. The flat roofline runs horizontally from front to rear, where it flows into a wide, transparent-looking C-pillar. The windows appear to wrap around the car like a band of glass, with the “helmet roof” – in a strikingly contrasting colour – suspended on top. The coupe-specific windows taper as they extend to the rear, and combine with the slightly rising waistline to create a prominently dynamic wedge shape when viewed from the side. The classic MINI three-level split of roof, greenhouse and body is again clearly recognisable in this study vehicle.
“In contrast to the more vertical design of the MINI Countryman, we’ve given the MINI Paceman Concept a horizontal emphasis and accentuated the width of the car rather more,” explains Marcus Syring, Head of MINI Exterior Design, to underline the powerful appearance of the study. The new interpretation of the traditional coupe values (the word “coupe” comes from the French “couper” meaning “to cut off”) produces a new homogeneous coupe tail which retains the unique MINI charm. Powerful proportions and the muscular design of the vehicle flanks, with their broad rear wings, reinforce its unconventional, athletic impression.
The newly interpreted rear lights are positioned at the outer edges of the rear and underline the dominance of horizontal lines, which run parallel to one another and emphasise the wide track of the rear axle. As with the MINI Cooper S Countryman, the rear apron of the MINI Paceman Concept has a diffuser design. The airflow is channelled between the twin-tailpipe exhaust on the underbody section, further optimising the car’s aerodynamic properties. Even the licence plate recess echoes the form of the air intake in the front bumper, forging a stylistic link between the front and rear of the car.
The four-seater car measures 4,110 millimetres in length, 1,789 millimetres in width and 1,541 millimetres in height. In telltale family style, the MINI Paceman Concept has extremely short overhangs, which lend particular emphasis to the car’s athletic stature.
Interior: a blend of modern functionality and luxurious character.
The interior of the MINI Paceman Concept deliberately draws from the MINI design language, yet also comes across as refreshingly new. Behind the study’s masculine exterior lies an elegant yet sporty core imbued with a premium sense of quality. The instrument panel of the MINI study is defined by its distinctive, concave forms and the sporty but functional impression it creates. Particularly large side air vents underline the character of the interior, which is defined by cutting-edge functionality. The central air vents, Centre Speedo and gearshift lever are given broad surrounds in a contrasting colour.
The slim centre console, which maximises legroom for the driver and front passenger, melts between the seats into the Centre Rail familiar from the MINI Countryman, creating a visual and functional link between the front and rear seats. This unique and innovative U-profile rail system runs through the middle of the passenger compartment back as far as the rear seat backrests. Light shades of leather pervade the interior of the MINI Paceman Concept and lend it an expressive, luxurious allure. The new interpretation of the brand’s familiar elliptical door and side trim extends along the length of the cabin, taking in the B-pillar and emphasising the length of the interior. At the same time, the communicative and communal character of MINI cars is clearly highlighted. Embedded in the elliptical main element are the shaped armrests with large stowage compartments, ergonomically designed door pulls and the speakers for the sound system. Behind the sports seats are two comfortable individual seats, whose backrests merge boldly into side sections to create fully contoured supports. The “lounge” character that this creates underlines the individual, unconventional appearance of the study car and turns every journey into an experience for the rear passengers, as well as those in the front.
Drive system: powerful and efficient.
Both from a space point of view and in its chassis set-up, the MINI Paceman Concept has been designed to allow the most powerful drive unit currently available for a MINI to be fitted under the bonnet. The MINI John Cooper Works 1.6-litre twin-scroll turbocharged engine gives the MINI Paceman Concept the means to achieve top-class levels of sports performance. The four-cylinder unit develops 155 kW/211 hp and generates maximum torque of 260 Nm (192 lb-ft), which can be increased to as much as 280 Nm (207 lb-ft) in brief bursts thanks to the Overboost function.
Its MINI Countryman roots give the MINI concept study an ideal platform for the optionally available MINI ALL4 permanent all-wheel-drive system. This features an electromagnetic centre differential positioned directly on the final drive which varies the distribution of power seamlessly between the front and rear axles. In normal driving conditions up to 50 per cent of the drive is sent to the rear wheels, in extreme situations as much as 100 per cent. Harnessing the power of the brawny four-cylinder engines, in all-wheel-drive form the
MINI Paceman Concept would offer an extra dose of driving fun through a traction-led, sporty expression of the agile handling for which MINI is famed.
Chassis: the best handling characteristics in the segment.
MINI chassis technology has been further developed for the MINI Paceman Concept to turn the potential of the extremely powerful engines – safely and with impressive poise – into inspiring agility. Precise, sporty handling and excellent ride comfort set the MINI Paceman Concept apart. That is down not least to the go-kart feeling typical of the brand. The front axle features MacPherson spring struts with lower track control arms, while Electric Power Steering with speed-sensitive power assistance plays a major role in giving the SAC the agility customers expect of the brand. The multi-link rear axle was developed on the back of BMW Group chassis expertise and is designed for use in both the front-wheel-drive and the ALL4 all-wheel-drive versions of the car.
MINI Paceman Concept: an idea ahead of the game – once again.
The MINI Paceman Concept embodies the idea of an incomparable driving experience in a way that meets the needs of a modern, lifestyle-oriented target group but also stays true to the character of the brand.
With the MINI Countryman having already opened up a fascinating new avenue in the expansion of the brand family, the designers are now tapping into the potential of its state-of-the-art drive technology and flexible space concept once again to develop additional usage options in a coupe sibling. The MINI Paceman Concept prioritises a particularly emotional driving experience and demonstrates this ability in a style typical of the brand. Here you can find clear evidence of how totally new vehicle concepts can still be developed today through unconventional creativity.

Not time for a new identity. Mini doesn't have the breadth, scope or public mindshare to start putting their vehicles on deviating paths.
Going the Porsche/Aston route is the correct one. Mini is a niche brand whose biggest asset is its heritage and perceived upmarket status. By keeping design changes tight and incremental they defend resale values and foment a sense of connection Mini's pedigree.
I think this looks really good. I can't imagine giving this serious consideration - but I can see it finding lots of homes... A great niche for Mini to occupy.

Well stated.
I personally find this Mini Paceman Concept übercool ! Then again, I'm admittedly a big fan of the Countryman and Clubman versions of the Mini.
Sometime in the relatively forseeable future, I'll once again find myself in the market for a new automobile. I am finding it very difficult courting the idea of parting with my almost 7 year old Audi TT, but the old girl is getting on. And so am I. After having owned a number of smaller sport-sedans and estates as well as a few roadsters, I have been contemplating purchasing that elusive somewhat larger "personal" sort of car. Audi A7, M-B CLS sort of category. I can't wait to see the new CLS in the metal. A more mature and "settled" automobile for an (ahem) more "mature" and "settled" individual. Or maybe a used Porsche 911 ? I've often fantasized about a 911. Or a BMW 5 series Touring ? As one can see- I am quite undecided !
But hey: The idea of owning a Mini Countryman or Paceman does have its' attraction. These cars look like a load of fun will still maintaining some practicality.
Maybe I'll just keep the ol' TT for another 7 years. So far, she's been pretty much bullet-proof-knock on wood !

It is cheap as s*it to build now that the Countryman is in place, so there is no reason not to build it. It is much more expensive to build something from the ground up. This in turn makes me wonder when we are going to see something of the next real MINI.
^^^ Your Beetle is even more pointless yet you still bought one....
This:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's what they said about the X6 too. But it's a tremendous success.
I personally like it a lot. It looks unique, like a Mini, expensive, delicate yet rough and sporty with it's two doors. It's awesome. Mini is on a roll. Will be a big brand in a couple of years, with a complete line up!
The haters of course are the typical BMW bashers. But who cares?
BTW, DocM: RR wouldn't even exist anymore without BMW, and all Range Rover design originates from the BMW DESIGNED Range Rover, so BMW's answer to Land Rover is: STFU!!

Could anybody please compare the size (may be est.price also) of this car to mini, mini clubman and mini countryman? After reading all of the comments, I'm still a bit confused about the point of this car. It should be something like X5 and X6 or Citroen D3 and DS3 or Evoque 3dr and 5dr?

Mini (stylized as MINI) is a British automotive brand founded in 1969, owned by German BMW since 2000,
and used by them for a range of small cars assembled in the United Kingdom, Austria, and the Netherlands.
The word Mini has been used in car model names since 1959, and in 1969 it became a brand in its own right
when the name "Mini" replaced the separate "Austin Mini" and "Morris Mini" car model names.
