Quick Guide to the New Combustion & Electric MINI JCW Models

[@Laurent.Elysse89]

OK, you sound like you're from the United States so how come I keep hearing that the JCW petrol won't be available here? And every time I see a JCW video from a dealership that's in the United States it's an electric one?

Head to our site for all the correct info. The full JCW will be available in the US. The JCW trim will not be available on the U25, F66 or F67. www.motoringfile.com/2024/10/22/world-premier-f66-mini-cooper-jcw-is-here-with-more-performance-new-tech/ www.motoringfile.com/2024/10/21/review-f66-mini-cooper-s-jcw-trim-is-the-best-cooper-sold-if-you-can-get-it/

Mini is not long for the U.S. market. Prices too high, too many better options.

Ummm, they said the same thing in 2001 when BMW bought Mini and released the gen 1. Then they said it again after they released gen 2. Then again after gen 3. And now you are saying it yet again with gen 4. Newsflash, prices don't matter to their core audience. They have money and can easily afford it.

@ Mini sales are down by double digits. There are so many better options that don’t cost as much

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

@@rmeyer52 Irrelevant. Sales numbers go up and down all the time. People with money (the typical mini customer) buy whatever they want and could care less about a cheaper car. My next door neighbor just bought a 2024 JCW Mini Convertible. He wanted a four seater that was shorter in length than a Miata. He paid $50K. What other car offers that? None.

Not really, Mini is a premium SMALL car brand - which there is no other brand like Mini. You can only find a few models from other brands that can compare against Mini offering but they are not much cheaper. Mercedes CLA/GLA/A, Acura Integra, Audi A3/S3. VW GTI/Golf R are not premium brand but some may cross shop with Mini and they are not much cheaper. People want Mini because of STYLE which most of nowadays premium leasing special are not that. (see Mercedes CLA/GLA/A)
