Mini India has commenced pre-bookings for the all-new Countryman C across its authorised dealerships in the country. Interested buyers can visit or contact their nearest showroom to reserve the SUV. The model will be locally assembled at the BMW Group Plant Chennai, which is expected to help in competitive pricing compared to fully imported models.
The Countryman C will sit as a more accessible petrol-powered option in the brand's India lineup. It is expected to be positioned below the performance-focused Mini JCW Countryman All4, while complementing the electric range that includes the Countryman E and SE All4. This move ensures that Mini now offers a wider mix of petrol and electric options for Indian buyers.
In terms of design, the new Countryman C is likely to carry forward Mini's familiar styling, featuring a rounded yet modern look with subtle rugged elements. The SUV is designed to offer more space and comfort compared to earlier iterations, making it suitable for both urban use and longer journeys. Mini is focusing on delivering a blend of practicality without losing its distinctive character.
While complete specifications are yet to be officially confirmed, the Countryman C is expected to feature a turbo-petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. Reports suggest it could share its underpinnings with the BMW X1 and may get the 1.5-liter powermill. However, exact performance figures will only be revealed closer to launch.
