Video Review: The 2025 MINI Cooper JCW – What’s New, Improved & Missing


Recommended Posts

We recently spent a day behind the wheel of the new MINI Cooper JCW (F66) and came away with three positives and three negatives. Unlike our first few drives with the new JCW, this time we had limitless time to really dissect what we love about the new JCW and what we’d love to see improved.

The first thing you might notice is that we’re not talking about single exhausts or single piston front brakes. Neither made the list because they simply didn’t feel that pertinent to the day to day driving we were doing in and around Savannah Georgia. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t find things for MINI to improve on. As you can imagine the lack of a manual tops that list.

We also found some surprising positives. The DCT transmission, the throttle mapping and (naturally) the torque increase are noticeable improvements that materially impact what it’s like to live with the new JCW day to day. But you’ll have to watch the video for our full thoughts there.
