The seats of this car are very comfortable, you won't feel tired if you go on a long trip in this car, bucket seats are given to it which makes it comfortable, and thigh supports are adjustable, so that's again another good advantage. The overall build quality is good, when you shut the door a loud sturdy sound comes, and the dashboard is made up with a soft material since the BMW quality is a little more towards the firmer end, similarly, a soft-touch material is given to it. Other than these, as because it is JCW, the whole car comes with a black and red combination.

Drive Modes

This car comes with three drive modes which are,

  • Sports
  • Mid

The drivability of This car is great but this car is very much stiff.

This car costs around 53 lacs on road, this is a bit expensive according to its features which this car provides but if you're the person who loves to ride car and want a car which is fun to drive then, this is a great choice, you will get cars which will give better performance at a lesser price, which is more practical than this but if you want to own a Mini Badge with a John Cooper badge then the price rises higher as this car is a complete CBU for the Indian car market.
