Mini India is gearing up to launch the 2024 new-generation Cooper S and electric version of Countryman in India. The company has now announced the launch of these models in India on July 24, 2024. The global debut was made in September last year.
The fourth-generation Mini Cooper S will replace the outgoing model. While the launch of the Countryman E will mark the arrival of the third-generation, all-electric model, Mini currently offers the petrol-powered Countryman in the Indian market.
Both the new Countryman E and the updated Mini Cooper S models get a cleaner and sleeker look with redesigned fascias. It also features larger wheels and a longer wheelbase.
Notably, Countryman Electric will arrive in India for the first time as a CBU unit.
MINI COOPER S
The updated Mini Cooper S retains the signature round headlights and couples them with an octagonal look on the outside.
The rear features tail lights inspired by the Union Jack.
The Cooper will arrive in two trims: the Cooper C and Cooper S trims. The former will be powered by an impressive 1.5-liter 3-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with a maximum power of 201 BHP, while the latter will use a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo-petrol unit.
Cooper S. Electric Variant
The EV will be offered in two trims, Cooper E’ and Cooper SE, featuring a 40.7 kWh and 54.2 kWh battery setup, respectively.
As far as the battery-powered Mini Countryman is concerned, it will be powered by a 210 bhp/250 Nm electric motor paired with a 66.45 kWh battery pack and offer a WLTP range of up to 462 kilometers. MINI may reportedly bring the 309-bhp Countryman ALL4 with a dual-motor setup.
Mini Countryman EV
The refreshed Countryman EV design includes an octagonal grille, redesigned headlights with new signature LED DRLs, and revised taillights and tailgate. The electric SUV shares its underpinnings with the BMW iX1.
The all-electric Countryman will be offered with a 66.4 kWh battery pack and a WLTP-claimed range of 462 km. It gets a single electric motor, making 204 PS and 250 Nm. In 8.6 seconds, the Countryman EV can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph.
