Mini Cooper S
As we all know, India and the UK signed a historic Free Trade Agreement on May 6, which will cut down 90% of taxes on British products sold in India. Also, there might be an impact on the automobile industry, and their prices can also go down. In effect of the UK-India Free Trade Agreement, Mini has come up with a Price Protection Assurance, where cars bought from now onwards will be covered for the next 180 days. If the price is reduced during this period, the respective dealership will refund the differential amount between the net invoiced price and the new ex-showroom price back to the customer.
The current ex-showroom price of the MINI 3-Door Cooper S starts at Rs 44,90,000. Also, there are three other variants of Cooper, but this offer doesn't apply for them, along with the Mini Countryman Electric which is produced at BMW Group Plant Leipzig in Germany.
Mr. Vikram Pawah, President and CEO, BMW Group India said, MINI has always stood for innovation and a bold character.

Verdict
The Mini Cooper S, powered by a 2.0L Turbo Inline 4 engine, puts out 204 ps and 300 Nm of torque and sends it to the front wheels via 7-speed DCT transmission, giving it the power to do 0 to 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds. That said, this car isn't built to do such sprints but to manoeuvre passengers in luxury and style. Also, the Mini Cooper is a one-of-a-kind vehicle as there is no direct rival in the country. So, owning it makes you very special.
