2025 Mini JCW, JCW Convertible Revealed Globally with 228bhp Turbo-petrol Engine and DCT

After unveiling its two John Cooper Works (JCW) versions of the Cooper and Aceman EVs at the Paris Motor Show 2024, Mini has now brought out the new 3-door Cooper in hatchback and convertible guises. Both versions use the JCW moniker and are offered with a petrol powertrain. Speaking of, the 2025 Mini Cooper JCW Hatchback and JCW Convertible are still powered by the same 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine but, the B48 engine – as Mini calls it – makes 380Nm of peak torque, up from 320Nm in the previous models. The power output remains the same, though – 228bhp. Power is sent to the front axle through a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which enables the user to shift gears by using the paddle shifters positioned behind the steering wheel. 

In terms of performance, the new Mini JCW Hatchback can accelerate from a halt to 100km/h in 6.1 seconds, while the 2025 JCW Convertible takes 6.4 seconds to reach 100km/h. The Hatchback is faster than the Convertible, topping out at 250km/h. The latter has a top speed of 245km/h.

Design-wise, the 2025 petrol-powered JCW models stand apart from the standard models with additional air vents and a JCW logo. There is a black octagonal grille flanked by two air intakes with vertical red strips. Other JCW-specific elements include LED daytime running lamps, a central exhaust pipe, a black rear diffuser, red brake callipers, and a new rear spoiler. The updated JCW cars come with either sporty 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels.

The hatchback, which comes in 11 exterior paint schemes, can be had with a contrasting roof. The Convertible allows buyers to combine an exclusive Copper Grey exterior finish with either a black or a contrasting grey Union Jack pattern for the soft top.
