The 2025 MINI John Cooper Works lineup has arrived, featuring the much-anticipated 2-door and convertible models. Known for its blend of performance and style, the latest MINI John Cooper Works (JCW) updates promise to enhance the driving experience without losing the iconic go-kart handling that fans expect. From a more aggressive design to new interior enhancements, MINI aims to push boundaries in its class.
Power and Performance
At the heart of both models is a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine. It delivers 231 bhp in the 2-door and 228 bhp in the convertible. With 280 lb-ft of torque, the MINI JCW boasts impressive acceleration. The 2-door reaches 0-62 mph in 6.1 seconds, while the convertible clocks in at 6.4 seconds. Both versions feature a top speed of over 150 mph, making them track-ready machines in an everyday package.
MINI has also equipped these models with a dual-clutch automatic transmission, which optimizes acceleration and gear shifts for smoother, more responsive driving. Enhanced suspension systems provide sharper handling and better cornering, further cementing the MINI JCW’s reputation for dynamic driving.
Exterior Design
MINI has refined the JCW’s exterior design with a focus on performance and aesthetics. A standout addition is the centrally mounted JCW exhaust system. Paired with red brake calipers and new alloy wheel options, the exterior styling is aggressive but unmistakably MINI.
Both models come standard with 17” JCW Sprint Spoke alloy wheels. Optional 18” JCW Lap Spoke two-tone wheels, combined with bold colors like Chili Red and Cooper Grey, let owners personalize the look further. LED headlights and JCW-specific running lights ensure the MINI JCW is as eye-catching on the road as it is in a showroom.
Interior Design
Inside, MINI delivers a race-inspired environment. Black synthetic leather seats with red stitching nod to the brand’s motorsport heritage, while the stainless-steel pedals and chequered flag pattern on the dashboard add subtle but purposeful design cues. Both models also feature a new high-resolution OLED display, offering easy access to key information like power output, engine temperature, and a G-force meter through the exclusive John Cooper Works experience mode.
Standard features include a Head-Up Display, wireless charging, and a premium Harman Kardon sound system. For those who enjoy personalized driving modes, MINI offers multiple “Experience Modes” that adjust interior ambiance and display settings to fit the driver’s preferences.
Driver Assistance and Safety
MINI ensures that the John Cooper Works models are packed with safety features to complement their high-performance DNA. Advanced driver assistance systems, including surround view cameras and automatic speed control, come standard. Parking is simplified with Parking Assistant Plus, which allows for automatic parking maneuvers using sensors and cameras.
For high-speed driving, lane-keeping assistance and steering control make navigating highways safer and more comfortable. These systems blend seamlessly with the MINI JCW’s sporty performance to offer a well-rounded driving experience.
