This is the first time that a Mini will roll off an assembly line outside Europe. BMW announces commencement of local production of the Mini Countryman at Chennai. The local assembly kicks in a little after a year of the brand's launch in India.
The locally produced Mini Countryman will be available in two diesel variants; the Cooper D Countryman and Cooper D Countryman High. A new petrol variant of the Mini One Countryman will also be produced at BMW's Chennai plant.
While the Countryman Cooper S variant will continue to be imported as a Completely Built-up Unit (CBU), like the regular Mini Cooper & Convertible are, BMW is expected to soon localise production of the entire Mini range in India.

Mini Cooper : 26,60,000
