I’m happy with my 12 year old Mini Cooper S 1.6 litre Turbo R56. It’s got all the bells and whistles I want. 6 Airbags and all the rest of it. And a real exhaust and a real growl.
Thank you for the 4K videos! We asked for it and you delivered so it calls for an appreciation. Watching experience on a 4K TV panel is now really enhanced! Commenting on multiple videos so that my appreciation catches your eye 😅
I remember 10 years back when we wanted 200 hp engines, it only came with luxury cars such as these. Now we have desi Mahindra making 200 hp with 450Nm with a desi engine. Truly proud of Mahindra. Made in India with Pride!
@@amaljoe367 Its a basic common sense that everyone has. What I meant to say was, if it wasn't for Mahindra, our desi engines would be stuck at low BHP.
You have to ride it to experience it, Mini cooper is a dope ride, this small car has 2 liter Engine and power output as high as 204 HP, you can imagine the fun you can have while driving.
So in your opinion luxury cars should change their designs if the cheaper brands copies them? G wagon should change its design coz Bolero copied it, Wrangler should change it coz of Thar and and many more such examples.
@@divyajeevan69 No use of explaining dude, Mini cooper is a dope ride, such a small car with 2 liter Engine and 204 HP power output is a delight. Only those who have ridden it know it. They can only copy looks but where is the performance?
Over-priced is my comment. For the European auto manufacturers (read: German) who seek a better-than-toehold in India, they have to decide on what they want: margin or market share. If it's margins, sure - both BMW (with its Mini) and Volkswagen (with its Beetle) can continue as they do with high-priced, low volume, vehicles while they fight a losing battle in the meat of the market - small and medium SUVs. But could they do better? Not with a SUV strategy that can go toe-to-toe with domestic and Asian manufacturers that can beat anyone on price and features any day. But - wait a minute - they do have the possibilities with one car with each of them that could run circles around the competition. That would be the Mini for BMW and the Beetle for Volkswagen. But imagine: if the Mini Countryman 5-door were to be sold in India as a sub-4 meter mini SUV, high ground clearance, highly localized and manufactured in the country, and sold at a price between Rs.15 and 20 lakh... If the Beetle 5-door were to be sold in India as a sub-4 meter mini SUV, high ground clearance, highly localized and manufactured in the country and sold at a price between Rs.15 and 20 lakh. Make each of them 4.5 meter long and priced at Rs.25 to 30 lakh with appropriate increase in space, comfort, I would like to think these two cars would take the market by storm and each take about 30% of market share. But they would have to come up with all the doodads that its competition has today. They would appeal to a cross-section of demographics - from the young to the middle aged. Yes, they would not be the classic European cars anymore but a version of it. At the end of the day, all foreign models are some version of the ones they sell in the developed countries, aren't they?
Indian car companies can make such a hot hatch , Mahindra if you r reading put that 2.2 trubo petrol inside a hatchback and charge us 30L , happy to pay !
A kind request to please change the aspect ratio of the videos, as there are black bars both at the sides, top and bottom while watching on a 16:9 aspect screen
Major downgrade from the previous generation, seriously what is that interior? A joke/scam? The previous mini had such a cool interior. This is really disappointing, should be called Mini cooper ‘budget edition’ and sell it for a considerably lower price
Imagine only trying to promote the car instead of reviewing it neutrally by stating the obvious lack of certain features at this price point … this reviewer is lame
@@beastislive7174 If you buy a Mini Cooper you’re a god damn moron… Its a chick car with lack lustre performance. You are paying more for the import Duties not the car itself. Aur Tu konsa Ambani ka damaad lag raha hai BKL??
@@alimony4golddiggers Its not "chor"... Mahindra has a license from Jeep to sell Wrangler look-alike in India... A reason why Mahindra literally called Thar's predecessor Mahindra Jeep.... But that's a reason why Mahindra cannot sell Thar outside India since it only has the license to use design in India....
This is a box of crap for the price it demands. A cheap mini ripoff ie Swift comes standard with 6 airbags @6.49 lakhs, while this piece of shit comes with only 2. I wonder what the management was thinking before launching this?

lucky you.
How much did it cost at that time?
67L?
Car feels like a relic from a bygone era.
Also 44 L starting price and no 360 degree camera? Only dual airbags? Kinda weird.
Stripped down car bought to India with heavy pricing
Yup. Really need a 360 camera on such a big car! 😂
@@talamascaxsi True. And these people need sunroof and air purifier.. LOL.
@@talamascaxsi Kinda basic for 2024
Appreciate that Autocar actually listens to their audience and brings 4K quality right away. That was swift.
Yup that is swift
Yup
Yup, that's a swift

That "interior" is such a scam. No buttons and not even a driver's display. Even an S-presso is more useable.
Lord S Presso mentioned 🗣️🗣️
🤣🤣
No buys a Mini for ""usability"
Background music seems like Dil toota Ashiq 😂
Being the last ICE powered Mini it is dil toota for many😂
I remember 10 years back when we wanted 200 hp engines, it only came with luxury cars such as these. Now we have desi Mahindra making 200 hp with 450Nm with a desi engine. Truly proud of Mahindra. Made in India with Pride!
But its the slowest 200hp Ive seen. I think the XUV has a far superior diesel engine while the petrol just exists to look impressive on paper
200hp in the size of a car like mini is different from 200 HP in a big family car like XUV.
@@mks1702 Its slowest coz its fitted in a 1900kg big SUV.
@@amaljoe367 Its a basic common sense that everyone has. What I meant to say was, if it wasn't for Mahindra, our desi engines would be stuck at low BHP.
@@Roberto-nj5yr power to weight ratio hasn't improved much
Lack of paddle shifters/trip tronic is such a massive massive miss. I love Minis and the last ICE car definitely should've had it.
A hot hatch video needs a hot background audio track.
Imagine spending so much money only to be recognized as a Swift from a far sight! My mom would really say, "You paid so much for a Swift!"
You have to ride it to experience it, Mini cooper is a dope ride, this small car has 2 liter Engine and power output as high as 204 HP, you can imagine the fun you can have while driving.
I agree ..
Aapki mom ko kuch pata nahi hai...G Wagon ko bhi Bolero bolengi woh..Thar Roxx / Gurkha ko Force Toofaan

That laugh just after rain gods excitement line as he accelerates sums it up. ❤
The BGM in this sounds like Funeral music, which is right BTW for JCW machines 🥲
Now I love my Polo Tsi more . A hot hatch . ❤
Why is he not addressing the obvious issue - the new design, which many around the world are calling a cheap Chinese knockoff!!!
1:13 There's a typo
Yes "automtic" 😂
@@binorobin Yeah 🤣
Autocar listens to us. 4K video. Nice...
I would want a Mini to replace my Ghar ke paas wala activa someday, definitely this one being the last ICE will be a void in our hearts.
Saw this piece of art at Vashi toll on 26th August at night ❤

Maruti Swift asli ID se aao😂
Swift in Ambani wedding😂
None of other rivals can beat MINI BIG LOVE 😅
Is still Mini relevant?
Chota dhamaka...🎉❤
Wish Maruti brings the Swift Sport to India
New one looks dull😢
This car is the ultimate sleeper.. My interest was murdered brutally at Automatic transmission.
Mini is worth it till 2022 model
I love this car!

I so want this car. It will be my daily driver if I am capable to get it
Swift ?
Waiting for 3 door mini with atleast 250-300
Kms realistic range
Best hot hatch in India now.
A kind request to please change the aspect ratio of the videos, as there are black bars both at the sides, top and bottom while watching on a 16:9 aspect screen
what is this location
I think the mini will bring back ICE in the future
YOU WON'T GET NOTHING BUT YOU HAVE TO FEEL A LOT. BECAUSE IT'S MINI AND YOU SPENT HALF A CRORE.
Better then overpriced x1
X1 atleast gas space
The 2018 Mini Cooper S in Orange or JCW trim with British Racing Green looked much better than this !!
I worked on this car…. I’m proud it launched in India now 🫰
Price😊
imagine vw designs polo with similar interiors and offer 1L TSI engine in AT mode..... more than enough for indian roads.
If not for the headlights people will think it's the Swift
Please review Mahindra thar roxx base model variant review
Film nahi mil Rahi to car review chalu kar diya Arjun Kapoor 😂
earlier it was swift, now it is tata bolt
Looks 😮wow
That fucking BMW
Messing with cooper grills also 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
rear lights are horrible
MS literally copied this.
Major downgrade from the previous generation, seriously what is that interior? A joke/scam? The previous mini had such a cool interior. This is really disappointing, should be called Mini cooper ‘budget edition’ and sell it for a considerably lower price
It feels like a nano or etios without a meter console
The old Austin Cooper turns more heads than this!
i am sorry not impressed by this with platter in the middle, Wagon R with CNG is much better than this, at least 5 can sit and enjoy...
Low Clearance.
Waste of money in India.
Imagine only trying to promote the car instead of reviewing it neutrally by stating the obvious lack of certain features at this price point … this reviewer is lame
why not take polo instead....
Better blur the speedo ;)
This isnt a hot hatch one bit. A 45 amg & A 45 S are
This looks like a powerdrift fanboi video 😂
When maruti Suzuki copied the original and made it look better xD
Good joke! XD

Always felt that Suzuki copied the Design of Mini Cooper and made a Suzuki Swift !!!
Most indians think Costly Swift 😂
Looks like a cheap Chinese copy of the Mini Cooper
It feels front grill is same as swift 😅except headlights
Such weird interiors
4/10 for the overall looks. For some reason mini lost a fan.
would get alto instead
We need manual gearbox
Overpriced
Aayien e toh maruti Swift hai kaa
Bhai ye toh Swift ki copy hai
Extremely stupid of BMW brand to ruin this car. The previous gen was much better in terms of everything and moving away from ICE is pathetic.
Of course it's a modified swift..!
synthesized sound did you say??? .....nope dont want it😮💨
swift and BMW dashboard cross u get a mini not worth the price
Very unique digital console. Lekin rear seat bakvas hai.
swift top variant 🥱
The same engine like old 2L what's special in that 😂
Who in their right mind would buy this?
Me
It's maruti swift
Rebadgde SWIFT 😂
Interior is ugly
It looks like copy of swift😅😅
Damn...
Uno reverse, roast, toast
what should I call😂
Interior is a down grade
Not worth over 20L imo
Price is v high
MR BEAN CAR
Union Jack is faded due to migrants so Mini kicked it . Mini is wise but not UK. 😂
Not even a gear lever
Expensive swift
Pathetic for a performance car no paddles and instrument console
Swift hai ye 😁
Finally no ev bulshit
