The All-New John Cooper Works Hatch

With output bumped up to a whopping 231 hp, an awe-inspiring 320 Nm of torque and a top speed of 240 km/h – these powerhouses have the extra oomph under the hood to see you through to every finishing line. Leveraging our racing expertise, these unruly turbochargers are tuned to give you the potent performance, and fuel efficiency, you’re looking for.

Savour the intense pleasure. The low-frequency growl emitted by the new twin-pipe sports exhaust system is extremely satisfying. It doesn’t just look the part – it sounds meaner than ever, too. Once you’ve dialled up the volume, amped up the adrenaline and experienced the pulse-pumping power, you’ll be speechless.

Handling is the heart of performance. And how well your vehicle handles is directly influenced by its suspension. Developed and tested on racetracks like the Nürburgring Nordschleife, our John Cooper Works sport suspension is tuned for an even more authentic race feeling. It offers you a remarkably dynamic driving experience and impressive stability – all providing optimum ride quality.

John Cooper Works is about extreme driving at the highest level of precision. We designed the 4-piston, fixed-caliper JCW 17” brakes to specifically match the performance of JCW 17” and 18” light alloy wheels. They give you all the stopping power you need for tight turns and fast changes of pace. Resplendent in bold Chili Red and bearing the JCW badge, they naturally look the business, too.

Breathing is key to performance. Which is why we’ve furnished the MINI John Cooper Works front bumper with a new front splitter and larger air intakes – plus an additional cooler – to keep your engine and brakes at the ideal temperature for high performance and durability.

The sporty John Cooper Works rear spoiler gives you an extra aerodynamic edge, reduces drag and exerts downward pressure that keeps the car stuck to the road like glue.

Our sporty John Cooper Works DNA can be found in every detail, like the stainless steel pedal caps. Particularly durable, particularly sleek and particularly good for putting your foot down flat.

Our new multifunctional instrument cluster takes the place of the conventional tacho. It consists of a 5.0 inch (12.7 cm) colour screen in a sleek Black Panel design and provides details like your revs per minute, speed, fuel level, mileage, temperature and navigation instructions.

Crafted from the finest, perforated soft-grain leather, with red accent stitching, Nappa Leather Steering Wheel is your host for your most-used functions. Specially molded thumb rests give you the perfect grip so you can take corners like a pro – and stay steady on the home stretch. It’s just what you need to give you power at your fingertips and track performance in the palm of your hand while flooring it on the open road.

Setting new standards in dynamics and efficiency, our John Cooper Works models are fitted with an 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission including shift paddles for the steering wheel. That gives you powerful acceleration with a gentle gradation of the gears reducing rev intervals between shifts. The start/stop function makes driving more economical, too, reducing fuel consumption, engine noise and emissions.

Our John Cooper Works models combine premium comfort, functionality and aesthetics in a striking interior. All John Cooper Works sport seats come with an integrated headrest, enhanced lateral support and Dinamica/cloth upholstery combination. Sitting has never been so exciting. Or so comfortable. Set in prime position, you’re in full control of the power at your feet.

If you’ve got it, flaunt it. These exclusive side scuttles not only brandish the John Cooper Works badge in Piano Black, but they also house integrated white indicators. Just the right finishing touch to add to the classic go-kart feeling every time you turn.

The road is stretching out. The landscape is flying past. The next corner’s coming up. You don’t want to look away. And with the high contrast Head-Up Display you don’t have to. All the information you need is right in front of you – speed, revs, your current gear, and the best moment to change up or down. It’s like having your own personal co-driver joining in the fun.

The John Cooper Works commitment to excellence is evident in every last detail. Even the door sills have a refined expression, complete with an integrated John Cooper Works logo. The checkered flag design elements more than hint at what’s to come. Spoiler alert: it’s going to be hot.

Unleash the power of premium technology and indulge in a world of information and the highest level of entertainment. United in a stunning, easy-to-operate 8.8 inch (22.35 cm) touchscreen display, our new Central Display includes a wide range of intelligent services and apps as well as especially high-quality fittings for navigation, communication and sound.
