IT WAS AT THE RECENT
Frankfurt Motor Show that BMW revealed their plans to bring the Mini brand to India in early 2012.
The company is expected to launch the iconic Mini Hatch along with the soft-top convertible version of this hatch as well as the Countryman, which is a crossover vehicle.
These will be the latest generation cars and will be powered by 1.6-litre petrol and diesel motors. The Mini is expected to compete with the Volkswagen Beetle on account of the price bracket both belong to.BMW are also planning to manufacture the Mini in India at their Chennai-based production facility. They will establish a separate dealership network for the Mini in India.
We expect to see and hear more about Mini at the 2012 Auto Expo.
