This MINI is loaded with safety equipment
Safety – The Cooper JCW comes with 6-airbags, ABS, ESP and Traction Control. It has the usual kit and given the robust build quality, the Cooper JCW won’t be exactly unsafe in the event of an accident. The Cooper hatch also gets a commendable but not class leading 4 out of 5 stars at Euro NCAP.

The JCW is the ultimate MINI
Verdict – Our car had ‘MINI Thrills Maximised’ written on the doors and after a hard drive on the racetrack, we can definitely say that the JCW version offers more thrills than the regular Cooper S. It has brilliant performance, engaging dynamics and tonnes of character. At Rs. 43.50 lakhs, the Cooper JCW is about Rs. 9.3 lakhs more than the regular Cooper S. Yes, that is a lot of money but if you are willing to pay the extra and want the ultimate MINI experience, the JCW variant makes a lot of sense.
