If you think electric cars are dull, predictable, and soulless — think again. The New Mini Countryman E JCW just arrived in India, and it’s out to prove that EVs can be exciting, stylish, and thrilling all at once. Priced at ₹62 lakh (ex-showroom), this electrified SUV isn't here for mass appeal — it’s here to make a bold statement. And with only 20 units available, it’s already turning into a collector’s dream.
So, what makes this limited-edition electric MINI so special? Let’s break it down.
Electric Performance and Power
Don’t be fooled by its eco-friendly nature — the New Mini Countryman E JCW packs quite a punch under its bold exterior. It’s powered by an all-electric motor that produces 201 bhp and 250 Nm of torque. That means you’re getting serious pull the moment you touch the pedal.
- 0–100 km/h in just 8.6 seconds – quick enough to have some fun in city traffic or on open roads
- A 66.45 kWh battery offers up to 462 km of WLTP-certified range
- DC fast charging (130 kW) gets it from 10% to 80% in just 29 minutes, or gives you 100 km range in around 8 minutes
Whether you’re commuting to work or escaping for the weekend, this MINI has your back — and does it with style and speed.
Exterior Features
MINIs have always had personality — and the JCW edition dials it up. The New Mini Countryman E JCW stands out with two stunning paint options: Legend Grey and Midnight Black, both paired with a sleek Jet Black roof and mirror caps.
What really gives it that edgy vibe?
- Aggressive front grille and muscular bumpers
- Side skirts and roof spoiler inspired by JCW’s performance DNA
- 19-inch JCW Runway Spoke Black alloy wheels that look absolutely killer on Indian roads
- Optional black sport stripes and Piano Black trim for a more customized look
Flush door handles, wider rear stance, and aerodynamic accents add a premium yet athletic touch — it’s clearly a MINI, but reimagined for the electric age.
