2026 Mini Countryman C: Price And Variants

Mini is offering the Countryman C in a single, fully-loaded variant. Since it is brought to India via the CKD (Completely Knocked Down) route, the pricing stands on the more accessible end at Rs 47.50 lakh (ex-showroom). With that, it becomes the first Mini to be assembled on our shores.

2026 Mini Countryman C: Looks

The Mini Countryman C looks very much recognisable as a Mini, except that it has now grown into proper SUV territory. Its dimensions measure 4447 mm in length, 1843 mm in width, 1661 mm in height, and it has a wheelbase of 2692 mm and ground clearance of 190 mm. While it borrows its styling cues heavily from its electric sibling, a few design tweaks help give it its own identity.

The face is dominated by a large grille finished with a bronze surround, while the lower section gets a body-coloured insert for a cleaner look. The sculpted bumper, chunky plastic cladding and textured bronze skid plate add a healthy dose of ruggedness. The grille is flanked by squared-off LED headlamps with signature DRLs wrapping around the clusters. 

When viewed from the side, the boxy silhouette of this SUV is complemented by a a black roof, matching ORVMs and a bronze C-pillar garnish. The Countryman C uses flush-fitting door handles to improve aerodynamics, while 19-inch alloy wheels fill up the arches nicely.

Around the back, Mini keeps things clean and minimal with vertically stacked LED tail lamps featuring pixel-style Union Jack graphics. You can find thick body cladding and a silver skid plate for the SUV-inspired styling.

The Countyman C is available in five paint options to choose from: British Racing Green, Smokey Green, Nanuq White, Chilli Red and Slate Blue.

2026 Mini Countryman C: Cabin 

Step inside and there's no mistaking that you're in a Mini. The cabin has a minimalist layout with most functions integrated into the signature circular touchscreen that also doubles up as the driver's display.

The dashboard is wrapped in recycled polyester fabric. The centre console features metallic toggle switches for the ignition, drive modes and gear selection, making every interaction feel a little more special. 

The India-spec model comes standard with Brown leather upholstery, a three-spoke steering wheel with a fabric lower spoke, bronze accents around the cabin and supportive sports seats up front that offer generous space. 

You also get a generous boot space of 505 litres, which can be further expanded up to 1450 litres by folding down the rear seats.

2026 Mini Countryman C: Features

The Countryman C doesn't hold back when it comes to creature comforts. It comes equipped with niceties like a 9.4-inch circular touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a heads-up display (HUD), a wireless phone charger, dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, a 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, powered front seats with a massaging function for the driver's seat, and connected car technology.

Safety-wise, the Countryman C carries a 5-star Euro NCAP crash test rating and comes loaded with Level 1 ADAS, a 360-degree camera, multiple airbags, electronic stability control, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, front and rear parking sensors, hill hold assist, all-wheel disc brakes and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

ZigSays…

The new Countryman C feels like Mini is finally admitting that its buyers have grown up but still don't want to give up on having fun. It brings the same quirky character Mini is known for into a package that's roomy enough for everyday family duties without looking or feeling conventional. At Rs 47.50 lakh, it might or might not be the value pick in the luxury SUV space, but if you're the kind of buyer who'd rather have your car stand out in a parking lot or strangers ask, ‘What is that you drive?’ then the Countryman C makes a compelling case for itself. It's more about choosing a car that puts a smile on your face every time you walk up to it.
