FAQs

What is the price of a Mini John Cooper Works?

How much you spend is determined by your specific needs. Needless to say, however, the price of a Mini JCW is quite a bit above what you would pay for a non-performance variant. The Hardtop in the 3-door body style carries the lowest cost of around $35,000, while the 5-door Countryman costs you upwards of $40,000, depending on how you configure it. The Clubman and Convertible models are both similarly priced at just below $40k.

Which is the fastest of the John Cooper Works cars?

Surprisingly, it is the wagon-styled Clubman that takes the crown, despite its higher weight, with a breakneck 0-60 mph benchmark of just 4.6 seconds. This can be attributed to its potent performance specs, courtesy of a turbo four-cylinder engine that makes 301 hp and 331 lb-ft.

Which John Cooper Works Package should I buy?

Just like their ‘basic’ cousins, each Mini Cooper JCW is offered with a choice of three packages. However, since this is already considered the top-of-the-range Mini available, more factory-installed tech is found at each tier vs the Cooper S, so it is really up to your budget to determine which you purchase. The Classic will suit those who just want the speed and refined dynamic of these spunky machines, while the Signature or Iconic are marketed toward shoppers who desire the best of both worlds. However, even the highest-spec option does not offer enough to warrant what you are paying, so the entry-level specification is probably still the wisest choice.
