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.
