MINI India

The BMW Group introduced MINI as a premium brand in India in January 2012. With the launch of MINI, MINI Convertible and MINI Countryman, the MINI range is available in India as CBU (completely built-up) units.

An exclusive MINI dealer network will be established in India for this purpose. In the start-up phase, BMW Group will concentrate on successfully establishing the MINI brand in India. MINI India will establish three exclusive outlets in the Indian market: Deutsche Motoren and Bird Automotive in Delhi (National Capital Region) and Infinity Cars in Mumbai.

MINI dealerships will display MINI (MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper S), MINI Cooper Convertible and MINI Cooper S Countryman which are available in six-speed automatic transmission with powerful and efficient petrol variants.

MINI: A global success and 'Car of the Decade'.

The modern MINI combines an agile "Go-kart‟ handling as its most natural characteristic with cutting-edge efficiency and uncompromising premium quality. MINI has established itself around the world as a symbol of urban driving fun and an indispensable element in its driver's mobile lifestyle.

MINI Convertible: Inspiringly Agile, Refreshingly Open.

The MINI Convertible blends the brand's hallmark attributes with the refreshing feeling of open-air motoring with greater intensity than ever before. Again, the brand's soft-top representative is unmistakably a MINI. Its proportions, short front and rear overhangs, large wheel cut-outs, the height of the waistline and numerous design features typical of the brand clearly show that this is a full-fledged member of the MINI family.

MINI Countryman: Taking driving fun into new territory.

The MINI Countryman takes the hallmark MINI driving fun to a new dimension and marks the arrival on the scene of a MINI with four doors, a large tailgate and a variable-use interior capable of accommodating up to five people. The MINI Countryman is also the brand's first model with a body over four metres in length. Its advanced chassis technology and the extremely precise and efficient Electric Power Steering ensure that the typical MINI, 'Go-kart' driving experience is preserved.
