The updated Countryman adds two colours to the palette – Sage Green and White Silver - consisting of Midnight Black, Chilli Red, Island Blue and British Racing Green. The mechanicals of the Mini Countryman continue unchanged, with both variants being powered by a 2.0-litre TwinPower petrol producing 192 hp and 280 Nm. While both variants use a 7-speed DCT, the JCW Inspired moves up to the Steptronic Sport gearbox with tweaked software for quicker shifts, as well as enabling launch control. BMW India also introduced a new comprehensive ownership package for the Countryman, the ‘Absolute Value’ offer. It allows customers ownership of the Countryman for a period of 3 or 4 years with fixed EMIs, with an assured buyback value, loyalty/trade-in offers as well as service packages for the tenure. The ‘Absolute Value’ offer is available till the end of June 2021.
