MINI John Cooper Works 

Latest EVs gather at the Palace of Versailles

At the 2024 Paris Motor Show, MINI will debut two efficient and powerful fully electric MINI John Cooper Works cars, and the brand’s booth at the Château de Versailles will also feature the brand’s latest EV lineup, including the MINI Cooper SE, MINI Countryman SE and MINI Countryman SE ALL4.

The fully electric “John Cooper Works (JCW)” MINI Cooper and MINI Countryman models, like previous JCW models, will incorporate know-how gained from motorsports, including the Nürburgring 24 Hours. In addition to agile handling befitting the JCW name, the car will also feature a sporty and luxurious exterior design and exclusive aerodynamics that significantly reduce energy consumption.

The MINI Cooper SE, which will be on display at the Paris Motor Show, combines MINI’s traditional three-door design with the latest electric powertrain. In addition to the go-kart feel that is characteristic of MINI, the model is available in four unique trims, allowing customers to enjoy styling that suits their preferences.

MINI’s first fully electric crossover, the MINI Aceman SE, has a compact body just 4m long, providing enough space for five adults to relax. It is the successor to the MINI Clubman station wagon, and has made its debut as an EV-only model, filling the gap between the larger MINI Countryman and MINI Cooper.
