Mini Countryman C Launch Set For Tomorrow: What To Expect

British carmaker Mini will launch the Countryman C in India tomorrow (17 June 2026), with prices expected in the ₹58.00-58.50 lakh (ex-showroom) range. The Mini Countryman C marks a significant milestone for the brand as the first Countryman variant to be locally assembled in India, at the BMW Group's Chennai plant.

Bookings for the Countryman C are already open via Mini's official website. The Mini Countryman C will slot below the Countryman JCW All4, which retails at ₹64.90 lakh ex-showroom, and takes on the BMW X1, Audi Q3, and Mercedes-Benz GLA in the premium compact SUV segment.

A 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, shared with the BMW X1, powers the Mini Countryman C. The engine cranks out 134bhp and 230Nm of torque and drive goes to the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. All-wheel drive is not an option for the Mini Countryman C in India.

Mini Countryman C - Exterior Design

The Mini Countryman C gets ICE-specific styling elements that differentiate it from the Countryman Electric. These elements include re-profiled front and rear bumpers, a slightly revised grille layout, body-coloured door handles, and matrix LED tail-lamps.

A champagne-coloured exterior trim package and bespoke alloy wheels are also part of the package for the Mini Countryman C in India. The roof, ORVM housings, and all door pillars are finished in black. Five paint options are available for the Mini Countryman C: Chilli Red, British Racing Green, Nanuq White, Slate Blue, and Smokey Green.

Mini Countryman C - Interior and Features

The cabin of the Mini Countryman C moves away from traditional chrome and leather, featuring a fabric-finished dashboard with dual-tone upholstery and champagne-coloured trim accents. A high-definition circular OLED infotainment display running Mini Operating System 9 sits at the centre of the dashboard.

Additional highlights for the Mini Countryman C include a head-up display, paddle shifters, a premium audio system, and cruise control. A panoramic sunroof, vertically oriented air-conditioning vents, dual-zone climate control, and physical climate control keys complete the interior.
