Mini has taken the wraps off the sportiest version of its new-gen Cooper SE electric model, giving it the John Cooper Works (JCW) treatment. While maintaining its electric powertrain, the Cooper SE JCW boasts distinctive exterior and interior enhancements, providing a blend of performance and style.
Distinctive Design and Sporty Elements
The Cooper SE JCW showcases a unique aesthetic with the classic red/white/black color scheme and a chequered flag motif adorning the front grille. A sportier body kit complements the 18-inch wheels in a ‘Lap Spoke’ two-tone design, featuring ten spokes each and accentuated by red-finished JCW brake calipers. High-gloss inserts, contrasting red roof and mirror caps, and iconic bonnet stripes contribute to the overall dynamic appearance.
Interior Elegance with JCW Signature
Inside the cabin, the JCW seats maintain their signature red stitching, accompanied by knitted material on the shoulder section. Red-black contrasts extend to the doors, dashboard, and other interior elements. The driver-assist system, equipped with 12 sensors and four cameras, enhances safety and convenience for the occupants.
Unchanged Powertrain and Rapid Charging
The Mini Cooper SE JCW retains its electric powertrain specifications, offering 218bhp and 300Nm of torque. The 54.2kWh battery supports a faster charging capacity of 95kW, enabling a swift 10-80% charge in just 30 minutes. The claimed range remains at 402kms (under WLTP), providing an efficient and eco-friendly driving experience.
Anticipated Arrival and Indian Prospects
While the JCW version of the new-gen Mini Cooper SE is expected to be available in the global market, its arrival in India is anticipated when the new generation hits the market next year. Mini enthusiasts can look forward to a perfect blend of electric efficiency and John Cooper Works performance in this stylish and sporty offering.
