The latest Countryman C adopts MINI’s “Charismatic Simplicity” design philosophy, presenting a cleaner and more contemporary appearance. The vehicle features a larger stance, increased ground clearance, wider wheel arches, an octagonal front grille, and redesigned LED headlamps and tail-lamps. Additional exterior highlights include flush door handles, the removal of traditional side scuttles, and a contrasting roof design that contributes to its distinctive yet understated character. The model is also equipped with three selectable daytime running light signature modes, along with welcome and farewell lighting animations. Customers can choose from British Racing Green, Smokey Green, Nanuq White, Slate Blue, and Chilli Red exterior colour options.
Inside, the Countryman C embraces a minimalist cabin layout centred around digital technology. The focal point of the interior is a 240 mm circular OLED touchscreen infotainment display, while the cockpit has been divided into upper and lower sections to create a more upright and spacious feel. The vehicle is fitted with electronically adjustable JCW sports seats finished in Vescin Vintage Brown upholstery and includes a driver seat massage function. Rear occupants benefit from seats that recline up to 25 degrees and slide up to 130 mm, enhancing comfort and flexibility. The cabin also reflects MINI’s sustainability efforts through the use of chrome-free and leather-free materials, complemented by recycled knitted fabric on the dashboard and door panels.
The feature list is led by MINI Operating System 9, voice control functionality, the MINI Intelligent Personal Assistant, Digital Key Plus, a Head-up Display, and a fisheye camera capable of capturing photographs and videos within the cabin. The vehicle further offers a Harman Kardon HiFi sound system with 12 speakers, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, integrated navigation, remote services, software updates, teleservices, in-car weather information, and an intelligent emergency call function.
MINI has also equipped the Countryman C with multiple driving modes, including Go-Kart Mode, Green Mode, and Vivid Mode, allowing drivers to tailor the vehicle’s performance characteristics. Additional convenience and safety features include cruise control, Parking Assistant Plus with a 360-degree camera system, Comfort Access, and a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.
Powering the new Countryman C is a TwinPower Turbo petrol engine that produces 156 horsepower and 240 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a seven-speed double-clutch Steptronic Sport transmission. According to MINI, the powertrain has been engineered to deliver an optimal balance of efficiency, comfort, and the brand’s trademark go-kart-inspired driving experience.
With local production, advanced technology, premium comfort features, and MINI’s distinctive design identity, the all-new Countryman C marks a significant addition to the premium compact sport utility vehicle segment in India, strengthening the brand’s presence in one of the world’s fastest-growing automotive markets.
