MINI Asia and British United Automobiles have officially introduced the all-new MINI John Cooper Works (JCW) family to the Philippines, bringing driving enthusiasts more power, innovation, and variety than ever before. For the first time, the lineup includes two fully electric high-performance models—the MINI JCW Electric and the MINI JCW Aceman—marking an exciting new chapter in MINI’s storied motorsport heritage. These join the all-new MINI JCW, MINI JCW Convertible, and MINI JCW Countryman ALL4, offering Filipino drivers thrilling performance whether on the road, track, or off-road terrain.



The two fully electric JCW models, the MINI JCW Electric and MINI JCW Aceman, deliver up to 258 hp, 350 Nm of torque, and an electric boost function for instant bursts of power. With ranges of up to 371 km and 355 km respectively, these models combine MINI’s signature go-kart handling with sustainable performance. Aerodynamic enhancements, motorsport-inspired design accents, and exclusive JCW styling ensure these EVs embody both innovation and heritage in equal measure.

For fans of traditional combustion performance, the all-new MINI JCW and JCW Convertible feature a 2.0-liter four-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine producing 231 hp and 380 Nm of torque. The hardtop sprints from 0–100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds, while the Convertible achieves it in 6.4 seconds, both reaching top speeds near 250 km/h. Meanwhile, the MINI JCW Countryman ALL4 stands out as the most versatile in the lineup, boasting 300 hp, 400 Nm of torque, and all-wheel drive capability—making it equally at home on city streets or rugged trails.

Inside, every JCW model carries motorsport DNA with JCW-specific sports seats, a Harman Kardon sound system, and a black-red interior theme designed for both comfort and adrenaline. The advanced MINI Experience Modes, including JCW-exclusive Go-Kart Mode, further elevate the thrill by sharpening steering, throttle response, and delivering real-time performance data on a high-resolution OLED display. With innovations like Digital Key Plus, drivers can even unlock their cars using just their smartphone.
Continuing MINI’s racing legacy that began in the 1960s with iconic Monte Carlo Rally wins, the new JCW family blends historic motorsport success with cutting-edge technology. Filipino enthusiasts will get the first chance to experience the lineup during the Autohub Trackday on September 7, 2025, at Clark International Speedway, Pampanga.
