On the outside, the JCW version of the Countryman comes with a sportier kit over the standard Countryman. The front grille gets a blacked out finish replete with Mini’s signature chequered-flag pattern. Adding to the overall front fascia are larger air intakes and red accents at the edges of the bumper. This version also comes with JCW specific rims, red brake callipers, and a JCW logo on the C-pillar.

As of now, the Mini Countryman is sold in India only in electric guise, with the battery pack powering the car at 201hp and a WLTP claimed range of 462km.
