Mini has pulled the wraps off the new John Cooper Works Countryman, which features a sporty design and a 296bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with ALL4 all-wheel-drive. Redesigned for the global market, the 2025 Mini John Cooper Works Countryman gets an octagonal grille with an air intake below, sleek LED headlamps, an upright silhouette, aggressively styled front and rear bumpers with red accents, newly designed C-pillar, aero-optimised 19- and 20-inch alloy wheels, high-performance brakes finished in Chilli Red, dual twin-tip exhausts, and vertical LED taillights. There is also a revised John Cooper Works badge finished in the classic black, red, and white colour scheme.
With its sleek design, the BMW-owned British marque says that the updated John Cooper Works Countryman offers a drag coefficient of 0.26, making it one of the most aerodynamic cars in its class. This, in turn, aids the 'high performance' 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine – which belts out 296bhp and 400Nm of torque – to sprint the vehicle from 0 to 100km/h in 5.4 seconds. The new car is said to have a top speed of 250km/h.
