Although Mini is planning to launch an all-electric line-up that will be the next generation Cooper is an exciting one. The British firm will launch an all-electric Cooper manufactured in China however, it will also offer an engine-powered hatchback that will be made in Oxford, U.K. Like typical, the ICE-powered model will also come with the JCW package. And our spy photographers captured it once more in the heat of conditions testing in Southern Europe.
2024 Mini Cooper JCW Powertrain
Mini stated that the next engine that is ICE-powered Cooper models will be viewed as to be more of an update to the current generation and not the new generation. This means that the JCW will feature the same engine that is in the model currently in use.
It’s a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces a total of 302 horsepower and 332 pounds-feet of torque. Mini may offer minor changes to stay in line with current emission standards, but. The sprint from 0-60 speed should be completed in exactly 5.2 seconds, and the top speed will remain within the 165-mph range.
New Design
The whole JCW model is disguised, which suggests we should expect lots of changes in the design of the car. One thing we could see is a slight reduction in the front overhang, but this could be due to the camouflage. One thing we know for certain is that the front ends will undergo a major overhaul.
The front will get a brand-new bumper, a new grille, and new headlamps they look almost exactly like the headlights in the next EV model. The rear looks unaltered, and the side mirrors got an entirely new design and will come complete with indicators. The prototype that was tested has large exhaust pipes, however, we anticipate the final version to come with the usual twin pipes of the model currently in production.
Although the exterior will remain mostly the same, however, the interior will be redesigned with many improvements. The most significant changes will be the large round touchscreen in the middle of the model, while the smaller screen near the front seat will be eliminated. This model is also going to have updated buttons, however, most functions will be controlled by the touchscreen. The knob switch on the automated versions will shift to the underside of the large round screen.
2024 Mini Cooper JCW Released
The brand new Mini Cooper JCW should be presented sometime in 2023 soon before the normal Cooper version arrives. The sales will begin just in time for the model year.
