➡️The Cooper S hatch and convertible or cabriolet are updated for 2021. This third generation car has been around since 2013, and already received its facelift in 2018.
➡️The MINI Cooper range in India is all petrol now. The 2.0 turbocharged engine on the S models has been slightly updated for 2021, but it's essentially the same engine. What's great about it is that it still delivers on performance and sounds fantastic.
➡️The standard gearbox on the India spec cars is the 7-Speed dual clutch (DCT) Steptronic. You can pay more for the optional 7-Speed DCT Sport Steptronic. The hatch will go 0-100 kmph in 6.7 seconds flat, while the convertible takes 7.1 seconds.
➡️MINI does offer the JCW or John Cooper Works version though, and the Countryman of course.
➡️Prices start at ₹ 38 lakh for the hatch and ₹ 44 lakh for the convertible – but you'll always add some optional extras on a MINI! The Cooper S remains attractive, and yet its appeal remains niche.
