Which Mini Countryman Electric variant should you buy?
Best value for money: Favoured Pack EV, at ₹2.60L over the Classic Pack EV. Of the steps you pay extra for that keep the same engine and gearbox, none is better value for money on the price list. Favoured Pack EV to SE All4 looks better value for money than that, and is left out of the comparison because it changes the engine or the gearbox too: its price is not the price of its features.
Above Favoured Pack EV the range keeps going, but every upgrade left changes the engine or the gearbox as well as the features, so there is no honest way to rank them on value for money. Choose up there on the powertrain you want.

What the road does to this ranking
Where you register does not change which step is the best buy here. Classic Pack EV to Favoured Pack EV asks the least money for each feature it adds on the price list, and that holds once road tax is counted too, in all 17 of the states we can price this ladder in.
Why the road could have changed this, and did not
Every price on this page is the showroom's. States charge their road tax as a share of that price and step the share up in bands, so a trim that carries a car past a band boundary is charged for the whole boundary. A ranking worked out on the price list is not automatically the ranking you pay.
Take the badged step, Classic Pack EV to Favoured Pack EV: ₹2,60,000 on the price list, and anywhere from ₹2,62,600 to ₹2,99,000 on the road. 9 of them are level at the lowest, and Assam comes out highest, across the 17 states behind that range. Every other step moves by its own amount, and that is what can reorder them.
In each of those states we ranked the 2 steps that keep the same engine and gearbox again, and the order came back the same every time. So the badge above is safe to act on wherever you buy the car.
