Mini has introduced the Cooper S in the John Cooper Works trim and it stands out in urban environments with its compact proportions, offering an exhilarating driving experience, safety, and comfort. Key features include precise Mini steering, automatic sports transmission, powerful brakes, and a low centre of gravity. The increased track width of the three-door Mini optimises driving dynamics, especially in demanding situations.
Performance and Efficiency
Under the hood, the Mini Cooper S is powered by a 2.0-litre TwinPower Turbo engine, delivering 204hp and 300Nm of maximum torque. This setup propels the car from 0 to 100km/h in just 6.6 seconds, with combined fuel consumption rated at 6.4 — 6.1 l/100km and CO2 emissions of 144 — 138 g/km according to WLTP standards.
John Cooper Works Trim: Motorsport Heritage
The John Cooper Works (JCW) Trim of the Mini Cooper S emphasises performance and aesthetics rooted in Mini’s motorsport legacy. Exclusive equipment details such as distinctive front and rear diffusers, the iconic JCW logo, and a high-gloss black octagonal front grille underscore its racing-inspired design.
Visual highlights include contrasting black roof and mirror caps, black JCW brake callipers with the JCW badge, and exclusive 17- and 18-inch rim designs. These elements contribute to the Mini Cooper S’s powerful and dynamic appearance in the JCW Trim.
Sporty Interior
Inside, the JCW sports seats made of black synthetic leather feature multicolour knitted material in the shoulder area and red accent seams, enhancing the sporty ambiance. The dashboard continues the motorsport-inspired colour scheme with a black and red checkered flag pattern.
The high-resolution OLED display with a 240mm diameter provides easy access to navigation, media, telephone, and climate settings. The new Mini Experience Modes allow for interior ambiance customisation, with the Go-Kart mode offering anthracite red lighting and central display themes.
Advanced Safety and Convenience
For enhanced driving ease, the Mini Cooper S includes automatic speed and distance control, along with 3D visualisation and augmented view navigation. The Driving Assistant Plus package features camera and radar-based assistance for steering, lane keeping, and more.
The Parking Assistant Professional helps with parking by recognising suitable spaces and independently initiating parking processes. The Safe Exit function, standard in this model, monitors the environment and warns of approaching road users before opening the door.
With these features, the Mini Cooper S in John Cooper Works Trim is not just an urban performer but also a testament to Mini’s engineering excellence and motorsport heritage.
