The new MINI Cooper SE in JCW Trim

8 December 2023, 08:59:25

Add as a preferred source on Google The all-electric MINI Cooper SE stands for emission-free mobility and urban driving pleasure. The new 3-door model is now available in the John Cooper Works Trim as well. With 218 electrically generated hp (160 kW) and 330 Nm of maximum torque, the MINI Cooper SE is way out in front with zero emissions, especially with its ability to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds. The high-voltage battery installed in the MINI Cooper SE with an energy content of 54.2 kWh enables a range of up to 402 km as determined in the WLTP test cycle. To give your MINI a particularly sporty look it can be ordered in John Cooper Works Trim. With many details, the equipment variant emphasizes the brand's motorsport genes – achieved through numerous racing successes, including three victories at the Monte Carlo Rally in the 1960s.

The new John Cooper Works logo, which is characterized by clear outlines, stands out particularly well with its traditional red, white, and black color scheme and the symbolized chequered flag on the octagonal front grille. The powerful appearance of the MINI Cooper SE in JCW Trim is achieved, among other things, by 18-inch wheels in Lap Spoke 2-tone design with ten spokes each and JCW brake calipers in eye-catching red. Bonnet stripes on the body emphasize the sporty character.

As standard the MINI Cooper SE in JCW Trim includes striking diffusers at the front and rear. The radiator grille surround and logo are finished in high-gloss black. Visual highlights include the contrasting roof and the mirror caps in Chilli Red. The MINI LED headlights have individual light signatures. With the selected JCW signature, the front lights only show two horizontal stripes as daytime running lights and emphasize the minimalist design of the new MINI Cooper SE. The graphics of the matrix rear lights underline the width of the rear of the vehicle.

The JCW seats combine synthetic leather with red stitching and multi-colored knitted material in the shoulder section. The black and red color concept is continued on the 2d-knit covering of the interior of the door and the dashboard – the passenger side of which is adorned with the JCW-specific pattern in the style of a chequered flag.

The central, high-resolution OLED display with a diameter of 240 mm bundles vehicle-related data and provides information on navigation, media, telephone, and climate settings. With the MINI Experience Modes, it offers new possibilities for individualization. These include the John Cooper Works-inspired GO-KART Mode, which colors the display and interior lighting anthracite red. In addition to the special GO-KART sound, the optimized throttle response of the accelerator pedal in this mode enhances the sporty driving experience.

With 12 ultrasonic sensors and four surround cameras, Parking Assistant Plus simplifies parking and identifies free parking spaces. The advanced EXPLORE Mode offers a unique solution for this vehicle segment: it allows parking via smartphone without the driver having to sit in the MINI. A significant plus in convenience when parking space is tight at the side.

Fast charging with direct current is possible with up to 95 kW. This means that the battery can be charged from 10% to 8% in just under 30 minutes at a quick-charging station. The high-voltage battery is charged with 11 kW using alternating current. When navigation is activated, the high-voltage battery of the MINI Cooper SE is prepared to the ideal temperature for efficient charging depending on the weather conditions. The advantage: a significantly shorter charging time, especially at low outside temperatures.
