New Delhi: Mini has been quite busy of late, with multiple launches coming to the country. The brand has launched the Cooper S Convertible JCW Pack in India for a price of Rs 61.50 lakh (ex-showroom). It comes to India as a full import, and the availability will be limited. Based on the standard Cooper S Convertible, the JCW pack comes with quite some aesthetic updates on the inside and out, but the mechanical aspects remain the same.
Bookings commenced for the Cooper S Convertible JCW Pack on April 14th, and the deliveries have already started.
Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO, BMW Group India, said, “The new MINI Convertible has always been the ultimate expression of open-top freedom, and with the introduction of the John Cooper Works Pack, we are taking its unmistakable character a step further. This edition is for those who want their MINI to reflect a bold, assertive personality without losing the signature ‘go-kart’ feel they love. By blending premium design with the joy of open-air motoring, the MINI Convertible JCW Pack is a car that looks as fast as it feels, delivering a sporty JCW aesthetic that perfectly complements your cruises.”
