MINI Countryman JCW India Launch On October 14; Bookings Open September 22

MINI India has announced that it will launch the new Countryman John Cooper Works SUV in India on October 14, 2025. The JCW will be the first internal combustion variant of the new-gen Countryman to make it to India, with the SUV, launched in India in mid-2024, so far only offered as an EV.

Cosmetically, the Countryman JCW will not be all too different from the limited-run Countryman E JCW Pack launched in India earlier this year. This includes the more aggressive fascia with a sharper bumper with larger vents, large alloy wheels, a contrast-finished roof and trim accents and a pair of twin exhaust pipes at the rear accenting a sportier rear bumper. Unlike the Countryman E JCW Pack, the Countryman JCW gets a functional grille to feed air to the internal combustion engine tucked away under the bonnet.

Unlike the Countryman E, the Countryman JCW will be powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine pushing out 308 bhp and 400 Nm of torque. Power will be sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission replete with steering-mounted paddle shifters.
