Specification Comparison
MINI Cooper S in short
The new-generation (F66) Cooper S launched in India in January 2025 and remains the definitive premium hot hatch: a 204 PS 2.0L turbo-petrol with a 7-speed dual-clutch in a strictly four-seat three-door body, priced ₹44.45–55.65 lakh across four trims — Essential, Classic, Favoured and the top JCW Trim. Note the seating: this is a four-seater, whatever some aggregators claim. Nothing rivals it directly in India; cross-shopping happens against entry luxury SUVs like the BMW X1 and Mercedes GLA at similar money.

The new-generation (F67) Cooper S Convertible arrived in India in December 2025 as a single fully-loaded variant — the Cooper S Favoured at ₹59.00 lakh — and it is India's only convertible anywhere near its price: the next open-top car costs roughly double. The fabric roof folds over the same 204 PS 2.0L turbo-petrol and 7-speed DCT as the hatch, with four seats. If you want open-air motoring in India without crore-plus money, this is the entire shortlist.
