The MINI Paceman Adventure is a concept from [MINI Cooper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-paul-smith-edition) that uses the Cooper S Paceman as the base for this [off-road pickup truck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kia-tasman-pickup). Although the car has a generous loading area in the back, the car gets this from a shortened cabin and lacks rear seats.

As well as its form, the tiny Cooper concept uses the same 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine and the all-wheel drive as the S Paceman. The car may be small, but this mighty machine can pack a punch, equipped to handle tough terrain like gravel, mud and desert trails.

For now, Cooper has no plans to produce the MINI Paceman Adventure pickup truck concept, but it has been given a unique Jungle Green paint job to make fans wish that it did.
