Mini Countryman JCW

About
The Mini Countryman JCW All4 is the most powerful Mini ever sold in India, and it showsthis is a performance SUV that doesnt shy away from its motorsport roots, while still offering the space and comfort Indian families expect. The 2.0-litre TwinPower turbo petrol engine delivers 300bhp and 400Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic and all-wheel driveresulting in 0100kmph in 5.4 seconds and a top speed of 250kmph, making it one of the quickest SUVs in its class. The design is aggressively sporty, with a blacked-out grille, larger air intakes, and JCW-specific styling cues inside and out. The interior is a Mini hallmarkretro-modern, packed with tech, and finished in high-quality materials. You get five proper seats, a practical boot, and features like front and side airbags, dynamic stability control, and advanced infotainment. The ride is firm but controlled, and the steering is sharp, making it engaging to drive on twisty roads or city streets. While its not the cheapest, roomiest, or most frugal SUV you can buy, the Countryman JCW stands out for its unique character, performance pedigree, and premium feelI see it as a great choice for Indian buyers who want a fun, stylish, and fast SUV thats different from the usual German offerings.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Mini Countryman JCW is a rare blend of adrenaline, style, and everyday practicalitya true outlier in Indias luxury compact SUV space. For me, the standout is how this model refuses to compromise between motorsport-inspired thrills and family-friendly usability. The 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, with 300bhp and 400Nm, is a gemeager, responsive, and genuinely quick, sprinting to 100kmph in 5.4 seconds with a top speed electronically limited to 250kmphfor this segment, its nearly as quick as hot hatchbacks, but packaged in a taller, roomier body that Indian buyers love. The 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and All4 all-wheel drive setup feel calibrated for Indian conditionssmooth in traffic, sharp in corners, and reassuring in monsoon or loose surfaces. Inside, the Countryman JCW wraps you in sporty, premium materials and the latest tech, including a large circular infotainment screen and ample connected featuresa clear step up from most German rivals in this price bracket. Ride quality is firm but not jarring, thanks to adaptive dampers, and theres just enough practicality to justify the price tag for family buyers seeking something unique. Sure, there are more fuel-efficient options and larger SUVs for less, but nothing offers this mix of go-kart agility and Mini charm at this size and price in India. For those who want their daily drive to double as a weekend rocket, the Countryman JCW is a top contenderthough Id caution that its for buyers who value driving excitement over value-for-money.
Price
In India, the Mini Countryman JCW All4 is launched at a premium, with an ex-showroom price starting at Rs 64.90 lakh. This positions it above the regular Countryman and electric Countryman variants, and notably higher than mainstream luxury crossovers like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3. On-road prices, factoring in taxes, registration, and insurance, will push the total closer to Rs 75 lakh or more, depending on state-specific leviesdelivering a reality check for those expecting Minis quirky fun at a mass-market price. For context, this makes the JCW Countryman nearly as expensive as a base BMW X3 or Mercedes-Benz GLC, both of which are larger, offer diesel options, and boast stronger aspirational value in the Indian luxury market. That being said, I see this as a niche proposition, priced for buyers who want exclusivity and performance in one package, and who are willing to pay for design, dynamics, and the Mini badge over outright practicality or resale value. The price also reflects the CBU status, which brings with it the latest global spec but fewer local assembly cost benefits. Compared to hot hatches like the Volkswagen Golf GTI or the Mercedes-AMG A35, the Mini offers the thrill of a performance car but with SUV versatilityyet, Id advise buyers to weigh if the premium over those cars is worth the extra power and bragging rights. For some, its a unique proposition for most, the math will be tough to justify.
Mileage
Tuesday, 14 October 2025 09:30 AM The Mini Countryman JCW claims an ARAI-certified fuel efficiency of 15.4 kmpl, a surprisingly decent figure for a turbocharged, all-wheel-drive SUV with 300bhp. However, in real-world Indian city and highway driving, expect 810 kmplespecially if you drive it hard, which, lets face it, is what this car encourages. Running costs will be higher than diesel or hybrid SUVs in this segment, but for buyers who are willing to pay for performance and the Mini experience, the premium for fuel is part of the package. If top priority is low running costs, there are far more economical choices.
