MINI has just unveiled the new Mini Shadow Edition in India. It is based on the current-gen Countryman Cooper S JCW but has cosmetic differences on the outside and inside. The limited edition model is limited to only 24 units.
Compared to the Mini Countryman Cooper S JCW, the Shadow Edition gets an all-black exterior theme that is contrasted by the melting silver mirror caps and roof. It also gets double matte black Shadow Edition decals on the bonnet scoop, from fenders, door sills, and C-pillar. The wheels are 18-inch units while the JCW aerodynamics kit makes it look sportier than the regular Countryman.
Moving inside, the Shadow Edition gets Leather Chester Malt Brown and Shaded Silver upholstery. The interior gets Mini’s Excitement Pack which includes LED ambient lighting and a puddle lamp on the driver’s external mirror that projects the Mini emblem.
In terms of features, the limited edition model gets a fully digital instrument cluster, navigation system with a touch controller, connected car tech, 8.8-inch infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, audio setup by Harman Kardon, and a panoramic sunroof.
Powering the Mini Shadow Edition is a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that makes 177 bhp and 280 Nm of peak torque. Transmission duties are handled by a 7-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. Mini claims a 0-100 kmph time of just 7.5 seconds for the limited edition model.
The Mini Shadow Edition is now available to be booked via the automaker’s official website. It is priced at Rs 49 lakh (ex-showroom), a premium of Rs 1.6 lakh over the Countryman Cooper S JCW. As mentioned above, only 24 units will be available, which will be produced at BMW’s production facility in Chennai.
