Mini India has introduced a limited-time Price Protection Assurance programme exclusively for the Mini 3-Door Cooper S.
This initiative ensures that buyers will receive the full benefit of any price reduction that may occur within 180 days after their purchase. The programme is designed to offer financial peace of mind amidst potential pricing shifts and is available at all authorised Mini India dealerships.
Why This Matters – India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) Context
The timing of this programme aligns with the recently signed India-UK Free Trade Agreement, which is expected to bring down import duties on high-end UK-manufactured cars from 100% to 10%. However, with certain details of the FTA still pending clarification, many potential customers have delayed purchase decisions. Mini’s new assurance programme aims to restore buyer confidence during this period of uncertainty.

Vehicle Eligibility & Pricing
The scheme applies only to the Mini 3-Door Cooper S, manufactured in Oxford, UK, and imported as a Completely Built Unit (CBU). It does not cover models like the all-electric Mini Countryman, which is assembled in Leipzig, Germany.
The current ex-showroom price range for the Cooper S in India is:
- Rs 44.90 lakh (base model)
- Rs 50.45 lakh (Classic Pack)
- Rs 53.40 lakh (Favoured Pack)
- Rs 55.90 lakh (JCW Pack)
