2025 MINI John Cooper Works EV: Potential 250 HP

The electric MINI Cooper JCW has been spotted with a more aggressive front bumper and a unique rear end. MINI is fully embracing an electric future, even for their performance-oriented John Cooper Works sub-brand.

The JCW variant of the MINI Cooper SE features a new front bumper with a sportier intake design. The intake has a split design and a horizontal bar, giving it a more aggressive look compared to the standard Cooper SE.

As we move further back, the car is equipped with chunky side skirts and flush-mounted door handles. It also has a sloping roof and turning fork style wheels with a two-tone design, adding to its sporty appearance.

Since exhaust tips are no longer relevant in the electric era, MINI has opted for a more aggressive rear bumper and a lightly revised diffuser with vertical accents to distinguish the high-performance JCW variant. Additionally, the car features a revised spoiler and taller reflectors.

Although spy photographers didn't capture the interior, MINI recently revealed the interior of the standard model. The cabin boasts a minimalist design with a circular display measuring 9.4 inches (240 mm) in diameter. This display serves as both a digital instrument cluster and an infotainment system, running on the Android-based MINI Operating System 9. It also offers extensive customization options and a new voice assistant represented by a dog avatar.

MINI has confirmed that the Cooper E will have a 40.7 kWh battery pack and an electric motor producing 181 hp (135 kW / 184 PS). The Cooper SE, on the other hand, will feature a larger 54.2 kWh battery and a more powerful motor producing 215 hp (160 kW / 218 PS). While the details about the upcoming JCW variant remain undisclosed, it is rumored to use the same battery pack as the Cooper SE, along with an upgraded motor producing around 247 hp (184 kW / 250 PS).
