2025 Mini Countryman JCW First Drive: A Larger, More Wagon-Like Format
• Auto123 gets in a first drive of the 2025 Mini Countryman JCW.
British engineer John Cooper made motorsport history by reintroducing the mid-rear engine concept to Formula 1. He also made the little Mini famous in rallying and lent his name to the brand's sportiest versions, the John Cooper Works (JCW). Mini has kept this legend alive with the JCW Countryman, which comes to us with 312 hp for 2025.
Design of the 2025 Mini Countryman JCW
The Mini Countryman, which measures 4,433 mm long (previously 4,310 mm), 1,843 mm wide (previously 1,822 mm) and 1,656 mm high (previously 1,557 mm), has also seen its wheelbase extended to 2,692 mm (previously 2,670 mm).
