The Mini John Cooper Works has been launched in India at Rs 43.50 lakh (ex-showroom India). The hot hatch will be available as a CBU and the deliveries will commence from June 2019. The hatchback gets all the updates that it got in various other markets last year.
While it may look similar to the regular Cooper S, the JCW is not just a sticker job. In fact, it is the most hardcore version of the Mini and boasts of a lot more goodies as well.

As for the way it looks, the hatchback is very similar to the model available abroad with the striking dual-tone paint options, JCW aero bits and badges. The colour options for India include Chilli Red, Electric Blue, Emerald Grey, Melting Silver, Midnight Black, Pepper White, Solaris Orange, Starlight Blue, Thunder Grey, White Silver and exclusive JCW Rebel Green. The hatchback also features the iconic Union Jack tail lamp elements along with 17-inch JCW Track Spoke lightweight alloy wheels. Things feel racy on the inside as well with piano black inserts and JCW-specific sport bucket seats.
Minis have always been about their pint size and stellar dynamics, which has helped create a huge cult following. The hatchback has various motorsport titles to its name. Amidst the various accolades the Mini Cooper has garnered over the years is the fact that Enzo Ferrari himself drove one! It couldn’t get a better testament than that.
The Mini John Cooper works sits on the apex of hot hatches in India, with no specific rivals as such. The hatchback belongs to a niche category and demands a huge Rs 9 lakh premium over the sporty Cooper S variant. Does it justify the extra premium or is it really a race car in disguise? Stay tuned for our first drive review where we will address all these questions and more.
