JAKARTA - Recently, Mini introduced two pure gasoline-powered John Cooper Works (JCW) models, namely in the hatchback and convertible versions.

Launching from Carscoops, Thursday, October 24, this high-performance model has an identical appearance to other JCW variants such as Cooper S, Countryman, and Aceman. Both hatchback and convertible versions come with a distinctive black color and red accent.

What is highlighted in this car is that there are Chili Red-colored calibre brakes, a rear diffuser paired with a sporty exhaust pipe, and the presence of a more aggressive bumper intake.

In addition, these two versions get additional JCW logos on the back door, new Copper Gray color options, and 17-inch or 18-inch rims to choose from.

On the inside, this hot hatch one is decorated with a circular OLED screen which is the standard feature in the Mini model. Special JCW details include sports seat, sport steering wheel, and black seat with red accent. Then, there is also a system such as a speaker from Harman Kardon and ADAS, which is more sophisticated.

The middle shiftr is also presented behind the steering wheel, highlighting the sporty character like real racing cars. This British brand also designs a specific suspension, ensuring the sensation of going-kart driving.

For the convertible version, the car can be opened in just 18 seconds at a speed of 30 km/hour, thus providing a different experience when driving this JCW.

Speaking of performance, Mini JCW is armed with a 2.0 liter turbocharged 4-cylinder 58 engine which produces 228 dk of power and 380 Nm of torque. This is in collaboration with the transmission of eight dual-clutch accelerations with front wheels driving.

According to the brand, pure ICE version of JCW can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds for a hatchback and 6.4 seconds for convertible. The highest speed reaches 250 km/hour (hatback) and 245 km/hour (convertible).

Mini JCW will be produced at the Oxford, UK plant and will be delivered for the first time in early 2025. For the British market, this car is priced starting at 31,200 pounds (Rp 631 million) for hatchback and 35,200 pounds (Rp 711.9 million) for convertible.
