Chinese Authorities Unveil Mini Cooper JCW E Ahead of Fall Debut

Mini is preparing to launch its new JCW lineup this fall, but China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has leaked details about the upcoming electric Mini Cooper JCW E.

The JCW E features a fully enclosed grille with the JCW logo and a checkered flag motif, alongside a central intake and vertical air curtains. Aggressive side skirts and 18-inch aerodynamic wheels further enhance its sporty appearance. The rear is distinguished by a unique bumper with a painted diffuser, taller reflectors, and multiple JCW badges. Optional features include hood stripes, contrasting mirror caps, a panoramic sunroof, and a multitone roof.

The electric motor in the JCW E delivers 255 hp (190 kW), outperforming the Cooper E’s 181 hp and the Cooper SE’s 215 hp. With this added power, the JCW E will reach a top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h). Weighing in at 3,682 lbs (1,670 kg), the car is expected to have a 49.2 kWh battery, though the performance boost may lower its range from the Cooper SE’s 249 miles (401 km) on the WLTP cycle.

With its sporty design and enhanced power, the Mini Cooper JCW E aims to bring an electric edge to the iconic JCW performance lineup.
