MINI has taking the wraps off the high-performance John Cooper Works variants of the 2015 MINI Cooper Countryman and 2015 MINI Cooper Paceman.
From a visual standpoint, the John Cooper Works versions will feature updated headlights and a new grille pattern (just like their regular counterparts). You’ll also find new light alloy wheels to reduce weight. There’s some color tweaks to the interior, as well as a new infotainment system.
There are some updates under the hood as well. The John Cooper Works editions will still use the standard turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, but power has been boosted from 208 hp to 218 hp.
The 2015 MINI John Cooper Works Countryman will start at $36,200. The 2015 John Cooper Works Paceman has a sticker price of $36,450.
