New Mini ‘Countryman 2018’ launched in India
MINI finally launched Countryman 2018 edition in India. The Countryman is made available in two petrol – S and JCW and one diese – SD variant. Prices for the car start from ? 34.90 lakh for the Cooper S, ? 41.4 lakh for the Cooper S JCW and ? 37.4 lakh for the Cooper SD (all prices ex-showroom, India).
First launched in 2010, the new MINI Countryman has changed a lot in most of the aspects for its second generation but remains true to its origin. Visually, the MINI Countryman is 200 mm longer and 30 mm wider than its predecessor, while the wheelbase has been increased by 75 mm. The changes are quite visible from the profile. Up front, the new Countryman is more squarish in its stance, while the familiar ‘floating roof’, large headlamps and hexagonal radiator grille are all present with subtle changes.

The headlamp units differ from other MINI models by having an asymmetric shape, with LED lighting now an option. And at the rear, the vertically arranged light units help create the family ‘look’. You also get the Countryman badging across the boot lid, while the pronounced wheel arches add to the crossover look.
On the Inside, the new MINI Countryman offers extra space, 30 per cent more to be precise, according to the folks at MINI. The increased space gives the passengers more front and rear legroom, front and rear headroom and rear seat shoulder-room than before, which is much more than what its segment competitors have on offer. As far as the features list goes, MINI has added MINI’s acclaimed Satellite Navigation System, Bluetooth, Cruise Control, Emergency E-call and Active Guard among others.
Moreover, the company is also offering the owners a chance to personalize their new Countryman, with extensive colour and trim options, advanced technology features and a range of option packs. One such option is a new 8.8-inch touchscreen display as part of the MINI Navigation System XL, offering touchscreen multimedia and navigation control for the first time in a MINI.
