What’s The Price?

Mini has launched the Countryman JCW at Rs 64.90 lakh (ex-showroom) in a single variant.

Exterior: Does It Look The Part?

In terms of the exterior design, the Countryman JCW gets a host of improvements to make it look more serious, rather than cute. At the front, you get large air intakes, with a massive grille and a chequered-flag motif for an aggressive look. 

Towards the side, it gets low-profile tyres on X-inch alloy wheels along with a dual-tone roof and a unique x design on the C-pillar. At the rear, it stays close to the Countryman EV but with a few additional touches like a larger spoiler and quad-exhaust tips with a black diffuser.

Interior: Still A Cute Mini

Inside, the Countryman JCW remains unmistakably Mini with a 9.4-inch circular bezel-less touchscreen infotainment system. The quirky theme continues with toggle-like switches, sporty design elements on the dashboard and a minimalistic design language. You can have the Countryman JCW with a choice of X interior colour options as per your tastes. Notably, Mini has integrated the instrument cluster in the centre screen as well.

Features: The Usual Bells & Whistles

In terms of features, the Countryman JCW packs in the aforementioned 9.4-inch circular touchscreen infotainment, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Harman Kardon audio system, panoramic sunroof, 8-way powered, ventilated and heated front seats, wireless phone charger, multi-colour ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, heads-up display and digital key.

As for safety, it gets 6 airbags, Level 2 ADAS suite, electronic stability control, hill hold assist, 360 degree camera and traction control. The Countryman has also scored a 5-star rating in Euro NCAP crash tests.

Powertrain: Punchy Enough?

Under the hood, the Countryman JCW packs some serious power for its size. It gets powered by a 2-litre turbo-petrol engine paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Here are the detailed specifications:

Rivals: Are There Any?

The Mini Countryman JCW has no direct rivals, although it can be considered as an alternative to other performance-oriented cars like the soon-to-be-launched Skoda Octavia RS and Volkswagen Golf GTI.

ZigSays...

Mini's Countryman while not really so 'mini' anymore is still loaded with character and personality. The JCW version just goes on to make it even edgier and unique. The long list of customisation options make sure that you can get it in the most unique and preferred combo as well. We would definitely reccommend the Countryman JCW if you want a fun driving experience and distinctive style without compromising on the practicality of a crossover.
