Explore the MINI Cooper S 5-Door in John Cooper Works Trim with 204 hp engine, sporty design details and go-kart handling, inspired by MINI’s racing DNA.

MINI keeps its racing spirit alive with the Cooper S 5-Door in John Cooper Works Trim, turning a drive through southern England into an engaging experience. The chalk cliffs and winding coastal roads of East Sussex make a perfect backdrop for the car’s dynamic character.

Its 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo engine produces 204 hp and 300 Nm of torque, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. This setup delivers a 0–100 km/h sprint in 6.8 seconds and a top speed of 242 km/h. On the narrow country lanes, the sport-tuned suspension and sharp steering give the driver confidence and reinforce MINI’s signature go-kart feeling.

The JCW Trim stands out with bold styling: front and rear diffusers, a high-gloss black octagonal grille, and exclusive wheel options. These design cues trace back to MINI’s motorsport heritage, when the classic Mini Cooper triumphed at the Monte Carlo Rally three times in the 1960s.

Efficiency remains respectable, with combined WLTP fuel consumption of 6.8–6.3 l/100 km and CO₂ emissions of 153–141 g/km. In Europe, the Cooper S 5-Door with JCW Trim is priced around €42,460 before options, with deliveries starting in 2024.

According to test drives, the car strikes a balance between everyday practicality and lively driving dynamics. For those seeking excitement without stepping up to the full 231-hp JCW model, the JCW Trim offers a compelling middle ground.
