Mini has introduced the new Cooper S John Cooper Works (JCW) edition at the ongoing Auto Expo 2025, priced at ₹55.90 lakh (ex-showroom). Bookings for this performance-oriented hatchback are now open, with deliveries scheduled to commence in April 2025. This new variant offers a significant boost in performance and a more aggressive design compared to the standard Cooper S already available in India.
Enhanced Power and Performance
The Mini JCW retains the same 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine as the standard Cooper S but delivers an upgraded output of 231hp and 380Nm of torque—a notable increase of 27hp and 80Nm. Paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission featuring paddle shifters (not available on the standard model), the JCW sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds and boasts a top speed of 250 km/h.
Distinctive Design Updates
The JCW version stands out with several exclusive exterior enhancements. It features:
- A blacked-out front grille adorned with the signature three-color JCW logo.
- Larger air vents for improved aerodynamics.
- Unique LED DRLs designed specifically for the JCW edition.
At the rear, updates include a sporty rear spoiler, a black diffuser, and centrally-mounted tailpipes. Red accents strategically placed across the exterior further emphasize its sporty character.
Sporty Interior Theme
Inside, the JCW receives a bespoke red and black theme. Key highlights include:
- JCW-specific sports seats wrapped in black synthetic leather, accented with multi-colored knitted fabric and red stitching.
- A sporty JCW steering wheel.
The cabin layout remains consistent with the standard Cooper S, retaining its quirky circular floating infotainment display and overall playful design ethos.
Conclusion
The Mini Cooper S JCW combines track-inspired performance with a bold, sporty design. With its improved engine, upgraded features, and unique styling, this hatchback is poised to appeal to enthusiasts looking for a blend of performance and luxury in a compact package.
