The 2025 Mini Countryman JCW Is A 'Big' Mini With Some Serious Underhood Muscle

The best-selling #Mini in the US gets a full redesign for 2025! The all-new #MiniCountryman is based on the also new BMW X1, but the high-performance #CountrymanJCW continues to build on the #JohnCooperWorks legacy with a 312 HP 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder under the hood. With standard All4 AWD and an 8-speed AT, Mini says this new #Countryman should sprint to 60 MPH in 5.4 secs. Pricing for the #JCW begins at $47,895 including destination and it will be in dealers in May 2024.

Hey guys! So we had very little time today with this car to shoot this video and Mini made some more announcements after filming. The 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine under the hood actually makes 295 lb-ft of torque, which is less than the old 2024 model, but the 312 HP is an 11 HP jump over the old version! Also, the pricing for this John Cooper Works was announced to begin at $47, 895 including destination. Overall, we're big fans of the upgrades Mini has made and we also got a chance to see the redesigned 2025 Cooper behind closed doors. You'll be seeing the new version for the US market unveiled on Feb 7th, 2024! Stay tuned for lots of new product from Mini very soon!

This is an amazing design!! It's really refreshing to see a car with such character and personality in a sea of cars that look basically the same! This is definitely something to consider in the next few months. Absolutely stunning!!

It's not big for a crossover, but it's massive for a Mini. Looks good tho.

That infotainment screen is Amazing. Really liked it

Mini asked me not to start the lets start the vehicle.... :) Nice update to the Countryman. Was on our look at list but the premium fuel requirement disqualified it from further consideration.

Finally adding all the techs that matches the premium price. I absolutely love the minis and glad to see them keeping the ICE engine for a bit longer. Hopefully the options are gonna push the car to 60k price margin, may convince my partner gets one of this used 2 or 3 years later as the practical small suv for my household

I still personally think they had completely ruined the design of the countryman.

The reason it sold better before was because it was initially intended to be the larger MINI in dimensions and design.

And having owned a countryman myself, 2017 to 2023 design was a smash hit. And also was their most in sales!

To change the design to this, it no longer has that MINI vibe to it.

The brown Chesterfield interior in recent Minis looks incredible. I hope that will be available in the Countryman in this generation & also finally offer ventilated front seats since this one is $48k

Says BMW asked not to start the vehicle but 8:01 LOL

They shouldn’t have messed with the round headlight’s (iconic feature) 😢

[BonkoemChemiya]

Will it come in manual transmission? I hope so!

I just drove a brand new one this weekend. It was a lot of fun to drive a lot of bells and whistles. The screen was pretty cool putting go kart mode pretty cool and had a lot of fun with it. It’s a really fun car to drive.

The HUD requires a film inside the glass to illuminate, and cars that project onto the windshields have that film in the entire windshield. OK for luxury models, but adds thousands to the cost of the windscreen. Insurance companies hate them, and many will no longer allow glass guarantees for vehicles with HUD's that require windshield replacements at high cost.

I’ve always kind of liked Minis because they were quirky and kind of unique. But I think as the company has focused more and more on larger models they’ve also edged into…well, just kind of weird. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as its cool to be different. But I have to wonder if it’s impacted sales numbers.

I love how there is all M5 generations in 4:15, new M5 coming soon definitely!
