A Hot Hatch in SUV Form: MINI’s Electric JCW Debuts
The Mini badge has always represented spirited driving and stylish flair. Now, with the launch of the MINI Countryman E John Cooper Works (JCW) Pack, it’s pushing that identity into the electric future. Priced at ₹62 lakh (ex-showroom), this electric SUV blends go-kart-like dynamics with the punch of electric performance, and only 20 lucky buyers will get to own this motorsport-bred limited edition.
Set to begin deliveries from June 10, 2025, the Countryman E JCW Pack will be exclusively available through Mini India’s online store. But this isn’t just another EV with flashy styling—it’s a full-fledged, performance-enhanced experience that pays tribute to Mini’s racing DNA while meeting the demands of the modern driver.
What Does ‘Countryman’ Mean in the Mini Lineup?
The name “Countryman” carries a blend of nostalgic charm and modern practicality in Mini’s world. Originally used in the 1960s for estate or wagon versions of the classic Mini, the term “Countryman” evoked images of open roads, countryside exploration, and family adventures.
In today’s lineup, the Mini Countryman is the brand’s largest, most versatile vehicle — a premium compact SUV that brings together Mini’s legendary go-kart-like handling with increased space, ground clearance, and daily usability.
Performance That Sparks Joy
Under the hood (well, metaphorically), the Countryman E JCW Pack comes equipped with a 66.45kWh battery pack delivering 204 bhp and 250Nm of torque. It sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds and offers a WLTP*-certified range of 462 km—enough for both weekday commutes and weekend getaways. And with 130kW DC fast charging, a quick 8-minute top-up gets you 100 km of range. Talk about electrifying convenience!
WLTP* stands for Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure. It’s the global standard for measuring a car’s fuel efficiency, CO₂ emissions, and electric driving range.
Design That’s Track-Ready and Street-Smart
Mini has never shied away from turning heads, and this JCW Pack stays true to that legacy. Offered in Legend Grey and Midnight Black, it wears the iconic JCW Sport Stripes, aerodynamic side skirts, piano black grille, and bold 19-inch JCW Runway Spoke Black alloys. Add the flush door handles, black roof rails, and carbon accents, and you’ve got a machine that looks just as thrilling as it drives.
Step inside and you’re greeted with a sustainability-focused cabin decked out in JCW sport seats, a 240mm OLED circular touchscreen, and MINI’s all-new Operating System 9. Voice control? Just say “Hey MINI.” There’s also a head-up display, Harman Kardon sound system, and the whimsical MINI Interaction Unit to add more character.
Smart Tech, Premium Safety
Safety isn’t an afterthought here. The Countryman E JCW Pack includes ADAS Level 1 features, such as:
- Lane Departure Warning
- Collision Warning
- Reversing Assistant
- Parking Assistant Plus with 360-degree camera
Further safety is provided through Dynamic Stability Control, ABS, multiple airbags, and tyre pressure monitoring.
