Mini confirms June 17 launch for Countryman C in India
- Mini will expand its SUV portfolio on June 17 with the Countryman C, targeting established luxury compact SUVs.
Mini is set to broaden the appeal of its Countryman range in India with the launch of the new Countryman C on June 17. The upcoming variant will become the second Countryman on sale in the country and is expected to offer a lower entry point into the premium SUV lineup than the current range-topping JCW All4. Pre-bookings for the model are already open.
The new variant will enter a space currently occupied by models such as the BMW X1, Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLA, while also becoming a more affordable alternative to the range-topping Countryman JCW All4.
